Musk calls for Trump to be impeached as extraordinary feud escalates
Tensions over the Republican spending bill burst into public view as the president’s relationship with his former adviser deteriorated
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.
hee hee
LOL yes let's impeach him again. We are stuck with this Orange Turd. Republicans have given us this turd and we can't flush him for 4 years.
Bold of you to assume we can get rid of him democratically.
LOL yes let’s impeach him again
Why just once? Let's impeach him two more times.
Impeach 2: this time we mean it. Coming to a theater near you.
For the impeachment itself, assuming the Democrats all vote for it, Musk only needs to buy 9 republicans.
For the trial, he needs to get 20 republicans for the two thirds. It's not going to be cheap, but it sounds doable.
The problem is that leaves Vance in charge, and a focused autocrat is not an upgrade.
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".
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?
But that doesn't bring in the clicks. And really, that's all we care about, right?
And?
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.
It hurts to agree with them doesn't it? Yet, it's so funny to watch them bite at each other.
Everyone that works with Trump always regrets it eventually. Everyone.
"Oh, but he won't do that to me ."
... 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"
This is perfect
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.
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.
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.
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.
It was inevitable. Two egos as big as theirs cannot coexist in close proximity indefinitely.
I was a psychologist until I got burned out.
During those years, I observed something countless times that seems counter-intuitive but is in my anecdotal experience reliably true:
Narcissists tend to actually like each other, and seem to bond effortlessly. "you're the best thing ever? Holy shit, I'm the best thing ever! We're so amazing it's awesome!" type thing. It's fascinating.
That's why I'm not going to be played by this. Elon and Donald both have something significant to gain by pretending to "break up with" Each other, Elon trying to detoxify his brand especially internationally and Donald by proving he isn't Elon's bitchboy.
They might be legitimately warring in public, they might be playing the media and the people, there's really no way for outside parties to know at this time, and I wish people would pay more attention to the people Trump is hurting than this ultimately pointless real or not catfight. Invoking Epstein is low hanging fruit, as anyone who isn't in Trump's cult and paying any attention has been aware Trump is an Epstein pedo for years and years.
Musk wants his money back! I’d vote to let him return his purchase in this case.
Yeah what about all of the endorsements and support?
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
There is no denying it any more, the US is a very corrupt country
Everything is about money here and I hate it so much. But I can't find an exit.
Last week tho, totally deniable. Now, not so much.
I have been saying it for decades that the US is corrupt, but people have been dying it for decades as well
Lol
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
But they did impeach him, Leon. Multiple times. The trouble is he just ignores it.
He ignores it because 95% of Republicans don't care about crimes, just the party.
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.
Elon could easily buy enough of the Senate to have Individual 1 removed at long last.
Fascist infighting is always fun to watch
It's not tho. This is, difficult as it is to say, America's leadership. It's disgusting, humiliating, and dangerous.
Its the inevitability and hoeplessness that makes it funny to me. I know this country will never get better, so I will enjoy the death of an empire I have learned to hate while I can.
Never could have seen this coming… two narcissists that only get along as long as they’re powdering each others butts.
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.
Hahaha love it!
I want to know what’s happening quietly while everybody’s all consumed with the ego drama.
We still have the big bogus bill….
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.
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.
But what about Musks association with Ghislaine Maxwell?
better , if you primary every republican supporting trump, to stick it to him.
I wonder if Musk will get the Jack Ma treatment or if Trump is a weak baby leader that isn't as strong as Xi. Imagine the Republican party being weaker than the CCP.
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?
EDIT:
dear god.

Patel was on Joe Rogan and learned about Elon claiming Trump is in the Epstein files in real fucking time.
Patel: Not my lane, staying out of this.
wwwhhhhaaaaaat?!
Fucking 'no comment'?
Motherfucker, you are the head of the FBI who is supposedly currently combing through those files!
No fucking comment?
Trump forgot who wears the pants in this relationship.
Fucking cunts...
extraordinary that two man babies who own their own SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS post some shit posts and probably fall asleep half way through.
unfortunately for musk, unlike with twitter, Russia won't help fund this endeavor.
They were nothing more than business partners, in other words tools. They used each other. Musk was the richest man on the planet and somehow Americans thought that was a coincidence. Musk wanted to usher in an era of austerity to line his own pockets, which he got in return for funding and pushing for trumps election. Election's over, Trump taxes musk he fucks off.
Any chance this just one big psyop? Are these people really this stupid...
