President Trump and billionaire Elon Musk traded insults for hours on Thursday. They seem intent on destroying a relationship that has been so consequential for this country.
Trump suggested Musk was suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome and that he’s opposed to Trump’s legislative agenda because of the rollback of the electric vehicle tax credits and the withdrawal of his friend’s name as NASA head.
The trigger was Musk’s very aggressive criticism of Trump’s one big beautiful bill. The bill extends and expands tax cuts while also adding money for border enforcement, and the military. It will be partially offset by reductions in spending on Medicaid, food aid and clean energy taxes credits.
The Medicaid cuts are not to services but to cut able-bodied people from the rolls.
Impeachment
Elon responded to someone on X calling for Trump’s impeachment and Musk agreed.
Trump has put his life on the line, and his ideas are solid. Musk too has put his life on the line.
They are feeding the beast of communism and the beast is preparing to dine on our carcass.
Elon sides with Ian Miles Cheong and agrees Trump should be impeached.

Epstein Files
In his latest slam, Elon says Trump is in the Epstein files, and that is the real reason they haven’t been released.
“Time to drop the really big bomb,” Musk posted on X, without any evidence. “@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!”
He followed up shortly after: “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”
Epstein’s lawyer said Trump was never mentioned in any Epstein file.
If Trump doesn’t get this bill through, his agenda goes to Hell. Musk doesn’t seem to see the whole picture.
Trump Posted an Hour Ago
“I don’t mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago. This is one of the Greatest Bills ever presented to Congress.
“It’s a Record Cut in Expenses, $1.6 Trillion Dollars, and the Biggest Tax Cut ever given. If this Bill doesn’t pass, there will be a 68% Tax Increase, and things far worse than that.
“I didn’t create this mess, I’m just here to FIX IT. This puts our Country on a Path of Greatness. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

“I realize I am a nobody. A 74 year old woman living in the mountains of Colorado and you surely will not listen to me. However, you both are destroying the country right now. I understand why Elon is upset. He worked so hard to save the country and was unfairly eviscerated by the media and the left.
“I understand him fighting to reduce the debt. We are on a path to insolvency. However, and unfortunately, congress does not react with a snap of the fingers. It is a long, inefficient and painful process. Elon, you have made some cruel and unacceptable statements. And then, sometimes unfortunately, DJT is a fighter and equally brutal. Do you know what this is doing to your base and the ammunition you are giving to the opposition? PLEASE STOP! You are destroying our hope and our morale. This is so painful. Take your issues behind closed doors and work it out or at least stop the public fighting. I HATE IT and I am not alone.”

This fighting will end.
A main focus now should be the unwillingness of Bondi to fight the deep state. This is the main danger. It’s beginning to reflect badly onto Trump, and it should. People say they did not election Elon, I did not elect Bondi to cover up major crimes.
Trump has thin skin and reacts unwisely and knows his big beautiful bill has to make it thru a dysfunctional congress that cannot get it together and would rather give the country back to the democrats than compromise . Mean while Musk has more money than god and doesn’t have a clue what it takes to get something thru a republican congress.
I wish the republicans could get it together and act like they are the majority for a change .
No wonder we have all this law fare , the dems know if they can hold out 2 years they will have it back .
I agree 100% with the “Wisdom from an Elderly American Writing on Truth Social” in this article. Knock it off you two, you are only giving new ammo to the demons to shoot at us with. Trump didn’t make the massive mess that we find our country in today, the Demoncrats and Rino’s did! And this disaster we’re in will take more than 6 months or one bill to turn things around but you have to start somewhere or it will never happen.
