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.
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.
My theory is they want it to impact Tesla stock negatively, then magically over the weekend or at some point, they kiss and make up and the EV credit gets added back into the bill and they profit massively from buying the dip.
It’s actually very possible, but only if it’s two large and healthy egos.
Theirs are anything but healthy

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.
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.
extraordinary that two man babies who own their own SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS post some shit posts and probably fall asleep half way through.
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.
unfortunately for musk, unlike with twitter, Russia won’t help fund this endeavor.
Any chance this just one big psyop? Are these people really this stupid…
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.
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.
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.
Bold of you to assume we can get rid of him democratically.
I think they are implying the opposite
I believe he is referring to the “4 years” part. Trump is not leaving this time even if he loses
Damn, I hurt myself in my confusion. Yes I dont believe it will be over in 4 years either^^
On the other hand, “cant flush him for 4 years” does not really imply that it will be possible after the 4 years.
You just gotta flush really hard. Say, approximately, 2,500ft/sec.
You gotta flush for at least 1.25 mooches straight.
You Americans really don’t like using the metric system, don’t you?
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.
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?
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!
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.
Billionaires :What do you mean!? That’s horrible (for us)
Can you impeach vice presidents?
I don’t see why not, but it’s a lot harder to make a good case against Vance than against Trump (where it’s trivial to find plenty of crimes).
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”
