Sparks Fly As Musk Turns On Trump

Three days of online sniping between Donald Trump and Elon Musk exploded into a political earthquake on Thursday. What started as policy criticism morphed into a full-on brawl, with the billionaire tech mogul calling for the presidentโ€™s impeachment.

Musk didnโ€™t stop there. He tossed fuel on the fire by accusing Trump of hiding his name in the infamous Jeffrey Epstein files. It was the ugliest turn yet in a relationship once hailed as an unexpected political alliance.

โ€œTime to drop the really big bomb,โ€ Musk wrote. โ€œTrump is in the Epstein files. Thatโ€™s why they havenโ€™t been released.โ€

Musk Says Replace Trump With Vance

Just hours earlier, Trump had lashed out from the White House, calling Musk โ€œcrazyโ€ and suggesting he cut ties with him to save the federal budget.

Musk responded by backing a post saying Trump should be impeached and replaced with Vice President JD Vance.

โ€œYes,โ€ Musk simply replied to a viral post favoring Vance as a replacement.

Supporters online picked sides quickly. โ€œPresident vs Elon. Who wins?โ€ one post asked. โ€œMy moneyโ€™s on Elon.โ€

From White House Honor To War Of Words

It was a stunning reversal from just days ago. Last week, Trump stood beside Musk in the Oval Office, giving him a glowing send-off from the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. Musk even wore a hat that read โ€œTrump Was Right About Everything.โ€

Now, the two arenโ€™t speaking.

Trump told reporters during a visit with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz that Musk was โ€œwearing thinโ€ and that he โ€œhad to go.โ€ He claimed Muskโ€™s tantrum was all about money.

โ€œI took away his EV mandate that forced everyone to buy electric cars that nobody wanted,โ€ Trump said. โ€œHe knew I was going to do it. And he just went CRAZY!โ€

Musk: โ€œSuch Ingratitudeโ€

Musk was quick to remind the public just how much heโ€™d helped Trump during the election.

โ€œWithout me, Trump would have lost. Democrats would control the House. Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,โ€ Musk wrote. โ€œSuch ingratitude.โ€

Trump didnโ€™t deny Muskโ€™s role. But he brushed off the idea that it had swung the race.

โ€œI would have won Pennsylvania anyway,โ€ he claimed, pointing to Kamala Harrisโ€™s failure to pick Governor Josh Shapiro as a running mate. โ€œI would have won by a lot.โ€

Musk laughed off that claim.

Bill Backlash Gets Personal

The feud was triggered by Muskโ€™s vocal criticism of Trumpโ€™s signature legislation โ€” a massive spending bill that slashes EV tax credits, adds a $250 annual EV fee, and aims to redirect subsidies away from Tesla.

Trump dubbed it the โ€œOne Big Beautiful Bill Act.โ€ But Musk called it a โ€œmountain of disgusting porkโ€ and blasted the process that led to its approval.

โ€œThis bill was never shown to me,โ€ Musk posted. โ€œIt passed in the dead of night so fast almost no one in Congress could read it.โ€

Trump accused Musk of lying.

โ€œHe knew every part of the bill,โ€ Trump said. โ€œHe never had a problem with it until after he left.โ€

Tesla Stock Tanks

The public spat is already hitting Musk where it hurts โ€” his bottom line. Tesla shares dropped 8% Thursday as Trump hinted that he could yank billions in federal contracts from Tesla and SpaceX.

โ€œThe easiest way to save money in our Budget,โ€ Trump wrote, โ€œis to terminate Elonโ€™s governmental subsidies.โ€

Musk dared him. โ€œGo ahead, make my day,โ€ he wrote.

It was a dangerous game of political chicken. Neither man blinked.

EV Dreams Crumble

Muskโ€™s fury centers on Trumpโ€™s retreat from federal EV mandates. The president is shifting back toward oil and gas, arguing that American energy independence depends on โ€œdrilling, not dreaming.โ€

Trump told reporters, โ€œTheyโ€™re having a hard time with electric vehicles. And they want billions in subsidies.โ€

Musk fired back: โ€œKeep the EV/solar cuts if you must, but stop bloating the bill with pork. Slim and beautiful is the way.โ€

Meanwhile, Musk accused Trump of punishing him for recommending a Democrat โ€” SpaceX pilot Jared Isaacman โ€” to lead NASA. Trump rejected the nomination and withdrew it over the weekend.

โ€œWe won, we get certain privileges,โ€ Trump said. โ€œAnd one of them is we donโ€™t have to appoint Democrats.โ€

A Bitter Split For The Ages

The former allies now seem locked in a political war neither expected.

โ€œElon knew this from the beginning,โ€ Trump argued. โ€œHe just misses the glamour. Itโ€™s Trump Derangement Syndrome.โ€

Musk, however, is already looking beyond Trump. โ€œTrump has 3.5 years left,โ€ he posted. โ€œIโ€™ll be around for 40+.โ€

In one post, Musk shared a throwback photo of Trump shopping for a Tesla Model S outside the White House.

โ€œRemember this?โ€ Musk captioned the clip.

It was only three months ago that the lawn was turned into a Tesla showroom โ€” a moment of partnership now buried under a mountain of personal insults and political chaos.

Outlook: No Truce In Sight

With Trump pushing to pass the bill before July 4 and Musk publicly leading opposition, this feud could shape not only the future of Tesla, but the 2028 race.

For now, the internet is locked in a bitter showdown.

โ€œTrump is in the Epstein files,โ€ Musk repeated.

โ€œIf you think this is over,โ€ he added, โ€œyou havenโ€™t been paying attention.โ€
