Billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk has escalated his ongoing feud with U.S. President Donald Trump by publicly calling for Trump’s impeachment and suggesting that Vice President J.D. Vance should replace him in office.
This dramatic statement followed a post by political commentator Ian Miles Cheong on X, who wrote:
“President vs Elon. Who wins? My money’s on Elon. Trump should be impeached and JD Vance should replace him.”
Elon Musk’s succinct response was a simple “Yes,” signaling his agreement with the call for Trump’s removal from office.
This bold stance is part of a growing tension between the two influential figures, particularly after Elon Musk criticized Trump’s proposed tariff policies, warning of serious economic consequences.
“The Trump tariffs will cause a recession in the second half of this year,” Elon Musk stated on X, highlighting his concerns about the administration’s economic approach.
The drama intensified when Elon Musk made a startling claim that President Trump is “in the Epstein files,” a controversial statement that has stirred considerable speculation and debate online.
In response to these accusations and public disagreements, Trump reportedly threatened to cancel all government contracts awarded to Elon Musk’s companies. He also claimed responsibility for pushing Musk out of Washington’s political influence and labeled the billionaire entrepreneur “CRAZY!”
Additionally, Elon Musk is said to have threatened to withdraw SpaceX’s partnership with NASA, which involves crucial missions for transporting astronauts and supplies to the International Space Station, raising concerns about the future of these space endeavors.
On another front, Trump ally Steve Bannon escalated the conflict by calling for Elon Musk’s deportation from the United States, citing Musk’s South African origins as the basis for his demand.
This ongoing clash between Elon Musk and Donald Trump continues to captivate public attention, reflecting the high stakes and intense personalities involved in U.S. politics and industry.
