Trump-Elon Musk feud live updates: Warring allies expected to speak Friday amid claims aides told president to ‘temper response’
Elon Musk and President Donald Trump may be meeting on Friday after the two indirectly sniped at each other on Thursday over a disagreement about the president’s “Big, Beautiful Bill.”
Musk called for Trump’s impeachment on Thursday as their feud entered a new, explosive stage.
“President vs Elon. Who wins? My money’s on Elon. Trump should be impeached and JD Vance should replace him,” Ian Miles Cheong wrote on X.
“Yes,” Musk responded.
The two men began launching insults at each other on Thursday as the president lashed out at his former advisor over his criticism of the primary legislation furthering his agenda.
“I’m very disappointed, because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody sitting here … He knew everything about it. He had no problem with it,” said Trump.
Musk called the allegation “false.”
“This bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it!” he said on X.
Musk added, “Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate.”
“Such ingratitude,” he said.
Musk also claimed that Trump is in the “Epstein files” and reminded congressional Republicans that he’ll be around a lot longer than the president.
