Trump-Elon Musk feud live updates: Tesla CEO endorses president’s impeachment amid public fight

Elon Musk shared an X user’s post claiming that Donald Trump was the first one to sling a personal insult in their ongoing feud.

Mary Trump, Donald Trump’s niece, weighed in on the president’s feud with Elon Musk today on her podcast.

“What happens when you put two narcissists in a paper bag together? It’s kind of like putting rats in a pillowcase,” she said during the show.

Since Trump was elected in November under a campaign which promised retribution, some of the president’s loudest critics have put down their megaphones out of fear he may come after them next.

“Sure, everybody worries about it,” Clooney told CNN’s Anderson Cooper when he was asked about it. “But you know, if you spend your life worrying about things, then you won’t do things.”

The twisted friendship that everyone knew couldn’t last, whose breakup it was foretold would create enough bitterness to fuel a SpaceX mission to Mars, is no more.

The immovable object that is Donald Trump’s ego has met the unstoppable force that is Elon Musk’s (allegedly) ketamine-fueled arrogance, and the results are already reshaping the political landscape.

Never in history has the world seen behind the curtain at a feud between two such powerful men, only for them to be exposed as petty schoolchildren.

House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters that he tried to call Elon Musk, but was unable to reach him. He did, however, send him “a lot of information via text.”

When asked about Musk taking credit for Trump’s election win, Johnson said “I don’t think any one person deserves credit, but if there is one person, it’s Donald J Trump.”

He insisted that the rift between Musk and Trump “isn’t personal.”

“Broooos please noooooo. We love you both so much,” West, also known as Ye, wrote on X.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, has announced that she will no longer support President Donald Trump’s so-called “big, beautiful bill”, and it all comes down to two pages in the more than 1,000-page document.

The ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act’ would extend the president’s 2017 tax cuts and create more military funding, including for border security, while making cuts to Biden-era energy credits and reforming Medicaid.

Trump has faced challenges getting the bill through Congress. It narrowly passed in the House in May, and The Hill reported Thursday that it is “losing momentum” in the Senate. If the Senate makes any changes to the House-passed bill, as expected, the House will need to vote again on the legislation.

While their friendship blossomed to end 2024, it eventually erupted into a red-hot wreck when Musk began to bash Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” culminating in a massive social media spat between the two on June 5.

Though the tech billionaire became the self-titled “first buddy” to the president-elect, their relationship has not always been rosy. Before the campaign rallies, compliments, and close proximity lodgings, the pair had their fair share of public disagreements and even exchanged insults.
