Elon Musk turns against Trump, calls for impeachment as Tesla stock plunges
Elon Musk publicly signaled support for the impeachment of President Donald Trump on Thursday, deepening a dramatic split between the two men that sent Tesla 's stock tumbling 16% and stunned political and financial circles alike. Musk & Trump: From Allies to Adversaries November 2022 Musk reinstates Trump's Twitter account after a public poll. 2023 Their alliance grows. Musk praises Trump's immigration stance and visits the southern border. March 2024 Musk says he won't back any candidate yet, but leans away from Biden. July 2024 After an attempt on Trump's life, Musk endorses him and reportedly donates millions of dollars. August 2024 Musk hosts Trump for a live interview on X. January 2025 Trump gives Musk a government role to help cut federal spending. Inauguration Day Musk makes a controversial hand gesture at Trump's swearing-in, sparking backlash. April–May 2025 Musk steps back from his role, then quits — criticizing Trump's big spending bill. June 2025 The feud goes public: Musk mocks Trump's policies and alleges that Trump's name appears in secret records tied to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Trump fires back. Musk briefly threatens to pull NASA support, then backs down. It came hours after Musk made an explosive allegation — without offering evidence — that Trump's name appears in secret records tied to Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier with connections to powerful figures worldwide. 'Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,' Musk wrote, as he alleged the president had ties to the convicted sex offender — an accusation that has not been independently verified. The White House moved quickly to counter the allegations. 'Elon was 'wearing thin,' I asked him to leave,' Trump posted on Truth Social, referring to Musk's recent departure as head of the Department of Government Efficiency. 'I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars … and he just went CRAZY!' Speaking Thursday from the Oval Office, where he was supposed to be discussing an end to the Russia-Ukraine war with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump expressed regret over the deteriorating relationship. 'Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore,' he said. 'I was surprised.' Shares of Trump Media & Technology Group, which trades under the ticker DJT, also fell 8% amid the feud. House Democrats quickly seized on Musk's bombshell claim that Trump's name appears in classified records related to Epstein. Within hours, lawmakers renewed calls for the unsealing of those documents. Trump retaliated by threatening to eliminate billions of dollars' worth of federal contracts and subsidies benefiting Musk's companies, including Tesla, his internet company Starlink and rocket company SpaceX. 'The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts,' the president wrote on Truth Social. 'I was always surprised that Biden didn't do it!' 'Go ahead, make my day,' Musk quickly replied on X, where he warned that Trump's economic policies could backfire. 'The Trump tariffs will cause a recession in the second half of this year,' he wrote on X. Musk later announced SpaceX would begin decommissioning the Dragon spacecraft it used to carry astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station for NASA. Just days earlier, the two men had shared a stage in the Oval Office, exchanging praise and posing with a ceremonial golden key to the nation. 'Elon's service to America has been without comparison in modern history,' Trump said at the time. Musk, wearing a black T-shirt with wording that read 'The Dogefather,' returned the compliment. 'The Oval Office finally has the majesty that it deserves, thanks to the president,' he said. Musk spent at least $250 million backing Trump's reelection campaign last year, including a daily $1 million voter sweepstakes in Pennsylvania. On Thursday, Stephen Bannon, a longtime Trump confidant and frequent Musk critic, called for formal investigations into the billionaire's businesses and immigration history. 'I believe a formal inquiry into his immigration status is warranted,' Bannon told the New York Times. 'I am firmly convinced he is in the country illegally and should be deported without delay.' Rapper Kanye West, an ardent Trump supporter who now performs as Ye, took a more conciliatory tone. In a post on X, he pleaded with both men to reconcile. President vs Elon. Who wins? My money's on Elon. Trump should be impeached and JD Vance should replace him. — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) June 5, 2025 By late Thursday, tensions appeared to be easing. White House officials told Politico they had arranged a call between Trump and Musk for Friday. 'It's okay,' Trump said of the dispute. 'It's going very well, never done better.' Musk also seemed to tone things down. When an X user suggested both sides 'take a step back for a couple days,' the Tesla CEO replied, 'Good advice. Ok, we won't decommission Dragon.' Amid the political firestorm, Tesla faces worsening fundamentals. The automaker is grappling with declining sales in Europe and diminished brand strength in the U.S. A long-delayed robotaxi pilot in Austin, Texas, set for June 12, faces mounting pressure from competitors such as Waymo, which is already logging 250,000 autonomous rides per week. Tesla stock is down more than 25% this year.

Elon Musk deletes anti-Trump posts as president warns of ‘serious consequences'
Elon Musk has quietly removed several high-profile posts on his social media platform, X, that directly criticized President Donald Trump, signaling a possible deescalation in a feud that exploded into public view this week. Among the deleted posts were Musk's accusations linking Trump to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as well as a now-vanished endorsement of a user's call for Trump's impeachment and replacement with Vice President JD Vance. The deletions were discovered Saturday morning, though it remains unclear why Musk removed the posts. On Thursday, Musk claimed that without him, Trump would not have secured the presidency, setting off threats from Trump to cut off government contracts with Musk's companies, including Starlink and Space X. 'Time to drop the really big bomb,' Musk replied. '@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!' The X page that once hosted Musk's post now displays a generic error message: ' page doesn't exist. Try searching for something else.' Musk had also replied 'yes' to a user's post calling for Trump's impeachment. By Saturday morning, that post had also been removed. The posts had marked a sharp escalation in the rift between Musk and Trump, who were once closely aligned. Trump purchased a red Tesla Model S in March and, just last week, appeared at a White House event alongside Musk, where he presented him with a ceremonial golden key to the nation. The alliance began to crack after Musk publicly criticized a sweeping GOP-backed budget measure, the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' which he said did not include the reforms he had championed while leading the Department of Government Efficiency under Trump. On Thursday, Musk called on Trump to 'ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill.' Trump, in turn, dismissed Musk's opposition and suggested cutting off federal subsidies and contracts with Musk's companies. 'The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts,' the president wrote on Truth Social. In an interview with NBC News on Saturday, Trump warned of 'very serious consequences' if Musk were to fund Democratic candidates in retaliation. 'He'll have to pay the consequences for that,' Trump said, though he declined to elaborate. Trump added that Musk was being 'disrespectful to the office of the President.' He added, 'I think it's a very bad thing.' Asked whether he intended to mend the relationship, Trump responded simply: 'No.'

TikTok influencer slammed for viral video about ‘unchic' fashion
Tara Langdale talked to Fox News Digital about how she received hurtful messages from critics after a not-so-serious fashion post describing what she views as 'unchic' went viral, spawning a cascade of events that made her apolitical post a victim of attacks. The self-described stay-at-home working mom amassed some 250,000 views and found herself on the receiving end of some hate after an April 7 TikTok of her seated, drinking from a wine glass with nicely done hair, gold jewelry and manicured nails as she skimmed through a list of 'unchic' fashion sins. Advertisement Tattoos, Lululemon, baggy denim, camouflage and visible panty lines were just a few that made part one of Langdale's controversial 'unchic' list, which drew backlash from seething critics who called her out with a political twist. 'Voting for Trump is unchic,' one said. 'To her, privilege = chic. Hope this helps!' said another. A third said, 'just say you're a republican and go lmao,' while a slew of commenters took exception to her tattoo stance and ranted about classism. Advertisement The video even caught The Guardian's attention, prompting an article that coined 'chic' as 'a shorthand for a type of conservative-coded aesthetic' and spoke of the 'rigid and airbrushed' looks of Trump allies, sch as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. 4 Tara Langdale received backlash for her 'unchic' fashion TikTok. @tara_langdale / TikTok Though Langdale diddles cribe herself as conservative when speaking to Fox News Digital, she insists not everything is about politics. 'When I get dressed in the morning, I'm not thinking about my political party and how I should dress to showcase that,' Langdale said. Advertisement 'I think conservativism is more of culture, religion – all of those things go into your conservativist mindset. Now, if you're talking about conservative style of dress… that's also going to be more like religion and culture,' she went on. 'Of course, if I'm going to church on Sunday, I'm dressing very conservative. I'm going to keep it classy, but if you see me in the street in my regular day-to-day, I am not at all conservative. I would never consider my style to be conservative. But am I conservative? Absolutely, so I can differentiate the two. I know that the internet has a hard time doing that.' 4 Lululemon made Langdale's controversial 'unchic' list — along with baggy denim, camouflage and visible panty lines. REUTERS 4 Tattoos were also on Langdale's list. xartproduction – Langdale addressed the politicized dogma, saying she doesn't understand why TikTok users jumped to conclusions about 'conservative' or 'Republican makeup' as they did. Advertisement 'Because I'm blonde, because I have more of a natural look about me, I'm not fully glammed all the time… I'm really not sure how that makes me appear conservative, but, again, I just think when people don't agree with what you say, they have to find a way to discredit you, and that's just an easy tactic,' she continued. At the same time, Langdale pushed back against the idea of her video implying that people too poor to afford expensive items are automatically 'unchic,' and pointed to brand-name items like athletic apparel brand Lululemon, Apple Watches and Golden Goose sneakers – all of which can be pricey – as evidence pointing to the contrary. 'Just keep in mind that money talks and wealth whispers, and I don't know any wealthy people that are wearing Gucci across their chest,' she said in her original post. Langdale explained that the TikTok trend of users showcasing 'things I find incredibly chic' grabbed her attention as they began circulating on the app. She found them 'pretentious and off-putting,' so she felt compelled to take her own stab at the video. 4 'When I get dressed in the morning, I'm not thinking about my political party and how I should dress to showcase that,' Langdale said about the political criticism she received. @tara_langdale / TikTok 'Of course, my video came off as pretentious and off-putting as well, but it felt like a certain level of cringe for me, and I don't like to personally attack anybody on social media, so I wouldn't go after a specific creator. I just kind of wanted to hop on the trend… so that was my initial, 'Why I created the video.'' Advertisement Langdale shared that her direct messages on the platform have been 'insane' with threats and comments about her family since the video went viral. 'It does make you step back and take a pause,' she shared. 'Like, is this really worth it for how crazy people react? And I would never want to put my family in danger, but I think a lot of it is just the keyboard pirates that are just back there behind their computer typing whatever they can to try to get more likes in the comments,' Langdale added.
