Elon Musk Calls For Trump’s Impeachment

The world’s richest man just grounded his spacecraft assisting the International Space Station…

On Thursday afternoon, Elon Musk publicly endorsed a call for President Donald Trump’s impeachment. Responding to a post on his social media platform X by conservative commentator Ian Miles Cheong — who suggested Trump should be impeached and replaced by Vice President JD Vance — Musk replied with a succinct “yes,” signaling his agreement with the sentiment.

The world’s richest man and SpaceX CEO said his space exploration company will ground the spacecraft used to shuttle astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station.

As Mediaite reports:

Musk followed by insisting that Trump’s tariffs will lead to a recession by the second half of this year, 2025:

This development marks a dramatic escalation in the rapidly intensifying conflict between Musk and Trump. The feud erupted after Musk criticized Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” a $1.6 trillion spending package projected to add $3 trillion to the national deficit as a “disgusting abomination.” Musk also condemned the bill for slashing electric vehicle and solar incentives while preserving subsidies for oil and gas.

“This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination,” Musk added in a Tuesday afternoon post on X. “Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.”

The Wall Street Journal continues:

President Trump and billionaire Elon Musk traded barbs and insults for hours Thursday, rupturing a relationship that had been one of the most consequential in modern American politics.

Trump suggested Musk was suffering from “Trump derangement syndrome” and that his opposition to Trump’s legislative agenda was because of the rollback of electric-vehicle tax credits in the measure. Musk, who spent hundreds of millions of dollars to help get Trump elected, said that Trump was ungrateful and wouldn’t be sitting in the Oval Office without his support.

The dispute sent Musk’s car maker Tesla to a market-value decline of around $152.4 billion, its biggest one-day slide on record.

The trigger for the public falling out has been Musk’s aggressive criticism of Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill,” which extends and expands tax cuts while also adding money for border enforcement and the military—partially offset by reductions in spending on Medicaid, food aid and clean-energy tax credits.

In retaliation, Trump labeled Musk as “crazy,” prompting Musk to accuse the president of suppressing the release of Jeffrey Epstein-related files, alleging that Trump’s name appears in the sealed documents.

As the situation continues to unfold, the political and economic ramifications of this high-profile feud remain to be seen.

On Friday morning, Fox News reported that Musk may speak with some of the President’s aides in an apparent effort to calm the growing feud between the two powerhouses.

A senior White House official told Fox News that Trump does not expect to speak to Musk today. However, White House aides told Doocy that Trump administration staffers might try to talk to Musk. 

“No call scheduled or had. Musk wants a call. POTUS hasn’t made a decision,” a source familiar with the matter also told Fox News regarding a possible conversation between Trump and Musk.

Doocy also reported that a red Tesla vehicle that Trump bought during a Tesla demonstration on the South Lawn of the White House grounds earlier this year is now expected to be given away or sold off. 

The vehicle with Florida tags, as of Friday, remains parked near the White House on West Executive Drive.
