Tech billionaire Elon Musk has thrown the political landscape into a frenzy by openly endorsing the impeachment of US President Donald Trump.
What began as a subtle divergence in ideology has now erupted into a full-blown public feud between two of the most influential figures in American politics and business.
The clash intensified when Musk responded with a firm “Yes” to a post suggesting that Trump should be impeached and replaced by his running mate, Senator J.D. Vance.
This response marked a startling turn for Musk, who has previously shown support for conservative ideals and even appeared to align with Trump’s base on issues such as free speech and deregulation.
However, the tension reportedly boiled over following Trump’s endorsement of a sweeping legislative package dubbed the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” a proposal Musk condemned as reckless and counterproductive. “
This bill is pure madness,” Musk noted. “It raises tariffs, adds trillions in debt, and wipes out incentives that drive the future of electric vehicles. It’s bad for innovation, bad for business, and bad for America.”
Trump, never one to mince words, responded with accusations of betrayal, suggesting Musk had turned his back on the very system that once supported his ventures.
“He’s ungrateful,” Trump reportedly said, in a pointed jab at Musk’s companies that have benefited from government contracts and subsidies. “We gave him so much—now he’s biting the hand that fed him.”
The feud took a darker twist when Musk hinted that Trump’s name may appear in sealed documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.
“Time to drop the really big bomb,” Musk wrote in a cryptic post. “Trump is in the Epstein files. Mark this post. The truth will come out.” Though no evidence has been made public, the mere suggestion has sparked intense speculation and concern.
This high-stakes dispute has not only shaken political alliances but also sent shockwaves through the business world.
Tesla’s stock has seen fluctuations amid fears of political retaliation, and some investors are bracing for further fallout. Meanwhile, political analysts are watching closely to see how this rupture will impact Trump’s campaign and Musk’s standing within conservative circles.
