Musk calls for Trump to be impeached as extraordinary feud escalates (www.theguardian.com)

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.

But what about Musks association with Ghislaine Maxwell?

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

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.

I wonder if Musk will get the Jack Ma treatment or if Trump is a weak baby leader that isn't as strong as Xi. Imagine the Republican party being weaker than the CCP.

unfortunately for musk, unlike with twitter, Russia won't help fund this endeavor.

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?

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 5 days ago

They were nothing more than business partners, in other words tools. They used each other. Musk was the richest man on the planet and somehow Americans thought that was a coincidence. Musk wanted to usher in an era of austerity to line his own pockets, which he got in return for funding and pushing for trumps election. Election's over, Trump taxes musk he fucks off.
