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, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Musk also condemned the bill for slashing electric vehicle and solar incentives while preserving subsidies for oil and gas.
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.

O.K. guys – shake hands and make nice! We’ve depended on you two to help put our country back together after the pit we were in due to Autopen Biden! Stop acting like spoiled brats and show some diplomacy, please! Let’s set a good example for everyone in how to get along for the good of all!
Petulant child like behavior from a rich spoiled brat who thinks he knows what is best for everyone. Typical backstabbing by a so called loyalist who forgets how he even got an opportunity with DOGE. Congress writes and approves legislation the President can only sign it or Veto it. Really Elon you claim to know how government operates but are ignorant to basic constitutional law and the Separation of Powers. Your beef is with Congressional and Senate members. Want some cheese with that whine? Elon is depressed take a chainsaw to that attitude of yours. Fie.
I predicted when this “partnership” started it would not end well. Two headstrong men and good combination does not make.
