Former adviser taunts president over links to Epstein while Trump threatens to cancel contracts for Musk companies
Elon Musk called for Donald Trump to be impeached after mocking his connections to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as the president threatened to cancel federal contracts and tax subsidies for Musk’s companies in an extraordinary social media feud on Thursday.
The deterioration of their once close relationship into bitter acrimony came over the course of several remarkable hours during which the president and the world’s richest man hurled deeply personal insults over matters significant and insignificant.
In the most churlish moment of the astonishing saga, Musk said on X the reason the Trump administration had not released the files into Epstein was because they implicated the president. He later quote-tweeted a post calling for Trump to be removed and said Trump’s tariffs would cause a recession.
JD Vance is VERY silent right now, so I’m thinking this could all just be fake, and that the tech bros (led by Peter Thiel) are using all this drama to get JD Vance into the Oval Office. I don’t think this is a legit fight…I think this is all part of their long term plan.
There you go. Ignore the content of the screeching and look at what it’s trying to accomplish.
You know what would also get a lot more Teslas sold in a correctly Trump hating world, and partially decouple Trump from the political fallout of the DOGE mess?
Exactly what’s happening.
How fucking stupid do you have to be to think JD Vance is the next best thing?
Oh wait… yep you’re fucked america
Well yeah, JD is great. He did things like… Gang up on Zelensky, so he’s got the general Maga crowd s vote and he killed the pope, so now he’s got the entire non-catholic Christian vote. Pretty solid.
… I was not expecting this many people to (so strongly) take sides in what is basically a kerfuffle between two mega villains.
(Og) Nazis had a lot of infighting too, still fascist mass murderers.
thx for clarifying “og”
Buyer’s Remorse
I hate to be a Debby Downer, but the headline is a bit sensationalist. This is how Elon “called for Donal Trump to be impeached”:
That’s it. He wrote “Yes”.
And?
But that doesn’t bring in the clicks. And really, that’s all we care about, right?
I don’t think that’s sensationalist at all. It’s a pretty direct and clear call for impeachment.
But I’d rather talk about that original Tweet. Obviously, Trump being impeached (and convicted by the Senate) would result in Vance replacing him; that’s how it works. But the choice to specifically highlight the Vance part of it implies not just a desire for Trump to be gone, but for Vance specifically to be in. Which is wild. I can’t imagine any human on earth actually being pro-Vance. There’s the sane people, who oppose the entire administration, and there’s the Magats who are rabidly pro-Trump. Who exactly supports Trump’s diet lacky?
Vance represents the tech bro “libertatian” wing with Thiel and those ghouls. Musk fits right in.
Vance was placed there with the objective to replace Trump eventually. These guys don’t need Trump any more, but like the industrials underestimated Hitler when they put him into power, Thiel and co are probably underestimating Trump’s shrewdness. He will burn everything down before he’ll be put out of power.
Anyone with any stock in big eyeliner obviously. There are tens of us!
better , if you primary every republican supporting trump, to stick it to him.
extraordinary that two man babies who own their own SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS post some shit posts and probably fall asleep half way through.
Has anybody checked in on Patel and Bongino?
Are Patels eyes just now permanently stuck in bugged out psycopath stare now?
Did Bongino have a heart attack?
Elon’s going to lose this fight. All the other rich people backing Trump still think the snake won’t bite them, and Elon doesn’t have the same cult of personality Trump does. He had some good will for a while, but he’s been burning that ever since the weird pedo guy thing, and that’s nowhere near Trump’s fucking cult energy. Forty years from now there’s still going to be dumbasses and edgy teens talking about how they heard a rumor that Trump is still alive out there in the wastes that used to be middle America.
Elon doesn’t have the same cult of personality Trump does
He used to, but then he started associating with Trump.
He really used to - remember all the iron man shit? The image of the benevolent billionaire who was going to open up space? I’m ashamed to admit I was tempted to believe too.
He lost the positive public image before he started associating with trump tho. I think what happened was he fired his PR team because he thought he could do better himself. Right around the time he got pissy and was calling that cave diver a pedo, the guy who saved a bunch of kids in Thailand. It was all downhill from there and I don’t remember ever seeing anyone piss away so much public goodwill so quickly.
Im gonna be honest, I never bought into the whole Phony Stark persona but I did but him at the same level as Bill Gates, (no such thing as a good billionare, but he’s doing SOME good things with his ill gotten gains).
The dudes brain is fucking fried for sure now. If he hadn’t hurt so many people, id almost feel bad for him.
It seems he wasn’t aware that his cult following came from the other end of the political spectrum.
Well, not quite the other end, but environmentally inclined business friendly liberals are still not quite Trump’s crowd.
But they did impeach him, Leon. Multiple times. The trouble is he just ignores it.
Impeached from the House sets up for conviction from the Senate. We need all of Congress to go through for it to have any effect.
Maybe this time a strongly worded reprimand would do the trick.
He ignores it because 95% of Republicans don’t care about crimes, just the party.
At this point Trump running interference and cockblocking Thiel and his billionare creeper squad from re-enacting the Business plot would be the best ( and funniest ) result.
I want to know what’s happening quietly while everybody’s all consumed with the ego drama.
We still have the big bogus bill….
I think they’re both right. The government should cut all ties with Musk’s businesses, and Trump should be impeached. That way everybody wins.
Billionaires :What do you mean!? That’s horrible (for us)
Can you impeach vice presidents?
It hurts to agree with them doesn’t it? Yet, it’s so funny to watch them bite at each other.
unfortunately for musk, unlike with twitter, Russia won’t help fund this endeavor.
Is there anything more Pride Month than Conservatives having to watch their two daddies fight?
I know I’m feeling proud the Tesla brand took such a nosedive
Any chance this just one big psyop? Are these people really this stupid…
