Former adviser taunts president over links to Epstein while Trump threatens to cancel contracts for Musk companies

Elon Musk called for Donald Trump to be impeached after mocking his connections to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as the president threatened to cancel federal contracts and tax subsidies for Musk’s companies in an extraordinary social media feud on Thursday.

The deterioration of their once close relationship into bitter acrimony came over the course of several remarkable hours during which the president and the world’s richest man hurled deeply personal insults over matters significant and insignificant.

In the most churlish moment of the astonishing saga, Musk said on X the reason the Trump administration had not released the files into Epstein was because they implicated the president. He later quote-tweeted a post calling for Trump to be removed and said Trump’s tariffs would cause a recession.

Musk wants his money back! I’d vote to let him return his purchase in this case.

250m for the opportunity to burn the wealthiest country in the world to the grouns? That was a one-time offer with an obvious no-return policy.

I want to know what’s happening quietly while everybody’s all consumed with the ego drama.

We still have the big bogus bill….

[–] VeryVito@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 day ago

Elon could easily buy enough of the Senate to have Individual 1 removed at long last.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

At this point Trump running interference and cockblocking Thiel and his billionare creeper squad from re-enacting the Business plot would be the best ( and funniest ) result.

Fascist infighting is always fun to watch

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's not tho. This is, difficult as it is to say, America's leadership. It's disgusting, humiliating, and dangerous.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago

Its the inevitability and hoeplessness that makes it funny to me. I know this country will never get better, so I will enjoy the death of an empire I have learned to hate while I can.

Now would be an optimal time for Putin to off one or both. Maximum chaos.

Musk needs to put his money where his mouth is, otherwise this is just a long-con IMO.

Has anybody checked in on Patel and Bongino?

Are Patels eyes just now permanently stuck in bugged out psycopath stare now?

Did Bongino have a heart attack?

EDIT:

dear god.

Patel was on Joe Rogan and learned about Elon claiming Trump is in the Epstein files in real fucking time.

Patel: Not my lane, staying out of this.

wwwhhhhaaaaaat?!

Fucking 'no comment'?

Motherfucker, you are the head of the FBI who is supposedly currently combing through those files!

No fucking comment?
