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.
I hate to be a Debby Downer, but the headline is a bit sensationalist. This is how Elon “called for Donald Trump to be impeached”:
That’s it. He wrote “Yes”.
But that doesn’t bring in the clicks. And really, that’s all we care about, right?
And?
Everyone that works with Trump always regrets it eventually. Everyone.
Wow they are arguably the most powerful people in the world and they are having a public squawky slappy fight like stroppy toddlers.
Meanwhile humanity is circling the drain. We are so fucked.
Fortunately, America has an affinity for reality TV, and so they’re distracted from whatever else this is a distraction for. I just have a part of me that can’t believe what’s happening.
Yeah, it really is hard to believe. It kind of eats away your faith in humanity. How could we let shit get so bad?
I try to focus more locally whenever I get bent out of shape over the more broad scope of life. I can reach out and touch problems in my area, and it feels good to get involved in trying to fix things. Will it solve Gaza? Will it solve Trump? Nah, but maybe I help plant some trees, clean up the brook in town, just get involved. Who knows, maybe it trickles up (ha).
Yeah, same here. Back when I was younger I was really into direct action. Big demos - there’s no buzz like a riot, fighting up against the police lines - and smaller, quieter actions. These days, I feel like I’m a bit too old for all that - and looking back I’m not sure all those actions changed a single thing. Except maybe made me feel like I was doing something useful. Also, it was fun. And I still think it’s important to counterprotest when nazis take to the street. But yeah, I’m more at the local level too. I kinda feel like getting engaged locally is maybe more useful than the big, flashy stuff. You can get stuff done, even if it’s not big changes. Lots of small changes add up. Plus, you’re meeting like-minded people, growing local community resiliency. If shit goes proper bad, these local community groups will become vital.
Is there anything more Pride Month than Conservatives having to watch their two daddies fight?
How long before trump declares that Elon isn’t hot anymore?
Yes… and gets picked up by ICE and sent to El Salvador instead of Africa.
Inshallah
Perhaps Trump will weigh in on the penile implant failure question.
Can’t wait to hear the Alex Jones mental gymnastics lol
Now would be an optimal time for Putin to off one or both. Maximum chaos.
Buyer’s Remorse
Musk needs to put his money where his mouth is, otherwise this is just a long-con IMO.
Elmo always has been a long con, he’s been a con man for decades now. Every other word out of his mouth is a lie

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.
It would be hilarious if this escalates to Elmo getting deported xD
An abusive relationship between two narcissists, one with a ADHD, the other with a huge coke problem. Stay tuned next week, same bat channel, same bat time.
hold on. which one is which?
I think the one with ADHD refers to the one with a ketamine problem, while the one with a huge coke problem refers to the one that’s progressing through dementia.
But I’m not sure, because their issues could be overlapping.
He’s trying to distance himself because his company is burning and is using the media. Musk’s playbook is to attention and boost himself like posting about dogecoin. Musk is using the media, but his Nazi views hasn’t changed.
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.
