20 Memes On 'X' That Sum Up Elon Musk-Donald Trump's Messy Public Breakup
Last Updated:
Elon Musk-Donald Trump's bromance has reached a bitter, ugly end and people on 'X' have grabbed popcorn, excitedly watching the world burn.
It's a great day for chronically online folks on the web. The richest man in the world is up against the leader of the free world. If you have just tuned in, Tesla chief Elon Musk is currently having a public (read: ugly) fallout with US President Donald Trump. Why? Trump has threatened to axe government contracts with Musk's companies, prompting Musk to call for Trump's impeachment.
The RocketMan had famously rallied behind Trump in the months leading up to the Presidential elections in the US on November 5, 2024. But now, the bromance is dead.
'I'm very disappointed in Elon. I've helped Elon a lot," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. 'Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore."
Then, Elon Musk exploded on 'X'.
Exhibit 1:
'The Trump tariffs will cause a recession in the second half of this year."
Exhibit 2:
'In light of the President's statement about cancellation of my government contracts, @SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately."
Exhibit 3:
'Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!"
Were the good folks on 'X' silent spectators of Musk's meltdown down?
Not really. They were ready like never before. Dropping everything they were doing, the public gathered on 'X' with their tickets and tubs of popcorn.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia charged with illegally transporting migrants
By Chris Strohm, Myles Miller and Bob Van Voris Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man mistakenly deported by the Trump administration to a prison in El Salvador, has been brought back to the US to face federal charges that he illegally transported undocumented immigrants within the country. Abrego Garcia was indicted by a grand jury in Tennessee in May, according to court filings. He appeared in a Tennessee courtroom Friday, hours after he was returned to the US, ABC reported. Attorney General Pam Bondi said an investigation determined that he was member of the criminal gang MS-13 and a 'danger to our community.' Abrego Garcia's case became a lightning rod over President Donald Trump's immigration policies, which have seen the administration move to ramp up deportations of undocumented migrants. The Supreme Court had told the administration to facilitate Abrego Garcia's return. 'Our government presented El Salvador with an arrest warrant and they agreed to return him to our country,' Bondi said at a press conference in Washington. 'Upon completion of sentence we anticipate he will be returned to his home country of El Salvador.' The US is seeking to have Abrego Garcia detained as a flight risk and a danger. The charges could result in him spending the rest of his life behind bars, prosecutors said. 'Today's action proves what we've known all along — that the administration had the ability to bring him back and just refused to do so,' Andrew Rossman, a lawyer for Abrego Garcia, said in an emailed statement. 'It's now up to our judicial system to see that Mr. Abrego Garcia receives the due process that the constitution guarantees to all persons.' According to court documents, Abrego Garcia's role, with other unidentified people, was to pick up migrants in the Houston area after they'd illegally crossed the border into Texas, then move them to other parts of the country. Abrego Garcia and other members of the group also allegedly transported guns and drugs illegally purchased in Texas into Maryland. Before he was removed from the country, an immigration judge had ruled that Abrego Garcia could not be sent to his home country of El Salvador, finding that he would be at risk of harm under the Convention Against Torture. The government later admitted he'd been deported to El Salvador in error. After he was removed from the country in March, his lawyers asked a federal court in Maryland to order his return to the US. Abrego Garica was initially kept in El Salvador's notorious Terrorism Confinement Center, but was later moved to another facility. On April 10, the US Supreme Court agreed with US District Judge Paula Xinis that Abrego Garcia shouldn't have been deported and ordered the Trump administration to 'facilitate' his release from Salvadoran custody. Trump and El Salvador President Nayib Bukele initially responded by claiming they had no power to return Abrego Garcia. Xinis then ordered the government to answer questions detailing its efforts to facilitate Abrego Garcia's return. A US appeals court upheld the order in a harshly critical opinion on April 17. 'Thanks to the bright light that has been shined on Abrego Garcia, this investigation continued,' Bondi said Friday. Chris Van Hollen, the Maryland Democratic senator who visited Abrego Garcia in El Salvador, said that the administration will now 'have to make its case in the court of law.' 'For months the Trump administration flouted the Supreme Court and our Constitution,' Van Hollen said. 'Today, they appear to have finally relented to our demands for compliance with court orders and with the due process rights afforded to everyone in the United States.'

'That's way out of my lane': FBI chief Kash Patel steers clear of Trump-Musk feud, Epstein files
Patel said that he didn't know how Musk would know about the details of the Epstein files and clarified that he won't participate in the conversation read more Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel has refused to wade into the public spat between US President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk, saying he won't participate in this conversation. Patel was speaking at the 'Joe Rogan Experience" podcast on Thursday (June 5) when he learnt about Musk's allegations regarding Trump's involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein files. 'I'm not participating in any of that conversation between Elon and Trump," said Patel. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Rogan: Jesus Christ. That's a crazy thing to say. How does he know that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files? Does he have access? Patel: I'm not participating in any of that conversation. That's way out of my lane. Kash clearly uncomfortable. — Spencer Hakimian (@SpencerHakimian) June 6, 2025 Musk's 'big bomb' Elon Musk on Thursday dropped what he said 'a big bomb ' on X when he claimed Trump was sitting over Epstein files and not releasing them because his name is mentioned in them. 'Time to drop the really big bomb: Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT." In another post on X, Musk stated, 'Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out." Soon after Musk's claim, Democrats too demanded the list be released. House Democrats reportedly pressed the Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate Musk's. Joe Rogan's reaction to Musk's remarks Podcaster Joe Rogan said it was 'crazy' for Musk to say such a thing on X. 'That's a crazy thing to say. How does he know? Does he know that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files? Or does he have access to the Epstein files?" Meanwhile, Patel added that he didn't know how Musk would know about the details of the Epstein files. 'I'm just staying out of the Trump-Elon thing; that's way outside my lane. I know my lane, and that ain't it," Patel said. Ahead of the 2024 presidential elections, Trump declared he wouldn't have any problem releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files. However, the US president has not fulfilled this promise yet. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In February 2025, the Justice Department, under Attorney General Pam Bondi, released approximately 200 pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, including flight logs, a redacted contact book, and an evidence list from investigations into his crimes. These documents, described as 'Phase 1,' largely contained previously leaked material, such as pilot logs from Ghislaine Maxwell's trial and Epstein's 'black book,' but offered no major new revelations. Bondi later claimed that the FBI's New York Field Office was withholding thousands of additional pages related to Epstein's investigation and indictment.

'Combat terror, eliminate Jaish': Bilawal Bhutto delegation gets a reality check in US
US Congressman Brad Sherman gave a reality check to the Pakistani delegation led by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, insisting that the country should 'do all it can' to eliminate terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammad from the region read more Pakistan's bid to spread its false propaganda in Washington failed horribly after a US lawmaker called out the country's support for a globally recognised terrorist organisation, Jaish-e-Mohammad. On Thursday, American Congressman Brad Sherman delivered stern advice to the Pakistani delegation led by former Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari that the country should 'do all it can' to eliminate the terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammad. Sherman also told Bhutto's team that Pakistan should ensure the protection of religious minorities in the country. Interestingly, the remarks from the US lawmaker came months after Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir made provocative remarks, expressing his support for the so-called 'Two-Nation Theory,' days after which India witnessed the Pahalgam terror attack. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Sherman took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to reveal that he emphasised to the Pakistani delegation the importance of combating terrorism and, in particular, the group Jaish-e-Mohammed. The American lawmaker pointed out that it was the JeM that was behind the murder of American journalist Daniel Pearl in 2002. For years, the people of #Sindh have faced political repression through enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings. Since its founding in 2011, Pakistan's own Human Rights Commission has documented over 8,000 cases of enforced disappearances, many of which have never been… — Congressman Brad Sherman (@BradSherman) June 6, 2025 Sherman shares the plight of the Pearl family In his post, the US lawmaker noted that he told the Pakistani delegation that it is important to combat terror groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed and shared the plight of the Pearl family. 'I emphasised to the Pakistani delegation the importance of combatting terrorism, and in particular, the group Jaish-e-Mohammed, who murdered my constituent Daniel Pearl in 2002,' the Congressman said. 'Pearl's family continues to live in my district, and Pakistan should do all it can to eliminate this vile group and combat terrorism in the region,' he added. Daniel was kidnapped by terrorists in Pakistan in January 2002, while he was on his way to what he had expected would be an interview with Pakistani religious cleric Mubarak Ali Gilani in Karachi. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The Congressman from California also raised concerns about the lives of minorities in Pakistan. 'Christians, Hindus and Ahmadiyya Muslims living in Pakistan must be allowed to practice their faith and participate in the democratic system without fear of violence, persecution, discrimination, or an unequal justice system,' he said in the post. During the meeting, Sherman also called for the release of Dr Shakil Afridi, who continues to languish in prison for helping the United States kill Osama bin Laden . 'Freeing Dr Afridi represents an important step in bringing closure for victims of 9/11,' he said. Dr Afridi is a Pakistani physician who helped the CIA run a polio vaccination programme in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The campaign eventually helped in the collection of the DNA sample of the Bin Laden family. Afridi was eventually arrested by Pakistani authorities shortly after the American raid on Bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad in May 2011. In 2012, a Pakistani court eventually sentenced him to 33 years in prison. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
