Trump-Musk Feud Explodes: Impeachment, Tariffs, and Epstein Accusations Fly

Trump-Musk Feud Escalates: Impeachment Calls, Tariff Warnings, and Epstein Accusations The public feud between former President Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk intensified this week, with both men engaging in a war of words on social media. The conflict began with Trump expressing disappointment in Musk during a recent Oval Office meeting, a sentiment later confirmed by sources close to the former president. "But I'm, I'm very disappointed in Elon," Trump reportedly stated. Musk responded on X (formerly Twitter), first agreeing with a post suggesting Trump's impeachment and then predicting that Trump's tariffs will cause a recession in the second half of the year. Musk's comments sparked immediate controversy and fueled speculation about the future of their relationship. Further escalating the situation, Musk linked Trump to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein in a separate post. Trump retaliated by threatening to cancel government contracts held by Musk's companies. Adding another layer to the conflict, former Trump strategist Steve Bannon told The New York Times he was urging Trump to investigate Musk, including whether he should be deported. The ongoing feud between these two powerful figures highlights the deep divisions within the political landscape and raises questions about the future of their business dealings.
