People Think This Elon Musk Tweet Could Signal The End Of His Bromance With Trump
Elon Musk ended his 130-day stunt with DOGE last week. He gave an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, and he really, really didn't want to talk about politics. Musk's interview went great: Reporter: What is your thought on the ban of foreign students, you were one of those kids, right? Musk: 'I think we want to stick to talking about spaceships.' Reporter: I was told that any topic is good. Musk: 'Well no.' — CALL TO ACTIVISM (@CalltoActivism) June 1, 2025 CalltoActivism/sTwitter: @CalltoActivism "I'm wondering what your thought is on the ban of foreign students — I mean, you were one of those kids, right?" the reporter asked. "Yeah, I think we want to stick to the subject of the day, which is spaceships, as opposed to presidential policy," Elon replied. "Well, I was told anything was good," the reporter said back. "Well, uh, no," Elon replied. Soooo, the man who only wants to talk about spaceships couldn't help himself and tweeted out his feelings about Trump's "big beautiful" bill. For those who don't know, the "Big Beautiful Bill" is basically a huge law that keeps the Trump tax cuts going, raises how much people can deduct for state and local taxes, cuts back on Medicaid and food stamps, increases military/defense spending, gives families (temporarily) a bigger child tax credit, rolls back a bunch of clean energy incentives, and blocks states from making their own AI rules for ten years. It also adds A LOT to the national debt. Rand Paul said it could increase the debt ceiling by $5 trillion.

"I think this officially signals the end of the trump-elon bromance," one person said. Another person said this "feels like a moment." And this person welcomed Elon to "the resistance." We have people saying there's "trouble in paradise." A bunch of people are saying this is the most Elon has made sense in years. And a bunch of Democratic politicians are like "Yep."

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. During a tense exchange with protesters at a town hall, Republican Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa responded to concerns over potential Medicaid cuts by declaring, "Well, we are all going to die." The remark came as demonstrators pressed her on the impact that proposed reductions could have on vulnerable populations, particularly the elderly and disabled. The comment quickly drew attention, with critics calling it dismissive and insensitive given the stakes of the health care debate. Ernst's office later clarified to news outlets that the senator was attempting to make a broader philosophical point about mortality, not the specifics of Medicaid policy. MAJOR BREAKING: In a shocking moment, Republican Senator Joni Ernst had the worst possible response when warned that cutting Medicaid would cause people to die: 'Well, we all are going to die.' The GOP health care plan is simple: suffer and die — CALL TO ACTIVISM (@CalltoActivism) May 30, 2025 This is developing news and will be updated as more information is available.

Trump Proclaimed Qatar Was a 'Funder of Terrorism' in Resurfaced Clip as He Defends Acceptance of Luxury Plane
President Donald Trump is defending his decision to accept a $400 million Boeing 747 from Qatar—despite his past condemnation of the Gulf nation as a "funder of terrorism." In 2017, while speaking from the White House Rose Garden, Trump publicly accused Qatar of supporting terrorism "at a very high level," aligning with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in a diplomatic and economic blockade of the small but influential nation, CNN reported at the time. "The nation of Qatar, unfortunately, has historically been a funder of terrorism at a very high level," Trump said in 2017. "Do we take the easy road, or do we finally take a hard but necessary action? We have to stop the funding of terrorism." EXCLUSIVE: We dug up a video of Donald Trump trashing Qatar in 2017 calling them 'funders of terrorism.' I'm sure he would hate if this clip changed their mind to give him a $400 million plane - so definitely don't repost it. — CALL TO ACTIVISM (@CalltoActivism) May 12, 2025 At the time, he called on Qatar to halt its financial support for extremist groups such as al-Qaida, ISIS and Hezbollah. The clips resurfaced days ago after Trump began embracing a vastly different tone, praising Qatar's leadership after the country offered to donate a luxury jet. Trump justified the jet donation as a patriotic cost-saving measure amid delays in the Air Force One replacement program. Here is Trump calling Qatar one of the world's biggest funders of terrorism in 2016. Now he intends to take a $400,000,000 bribe from Qatar, and that is after he signed a $5.5 billion dollar hotel and golf deal in Qatar. — Joseph Gelman (@ifofgot) May 11, 2025 The $400 million aircraft, gifted by the Qatari Ministry of Defense to the U.S. Department of Defense, is slated for temporary presidential use and eventual transfer to Trump's presidential library. The announcement came with intense backlash from both sides of the political spectrum. In defense, Trump seemingly compared the gesture to France gifting the Statue of Liberty, and claimed the donation helps taxpayers and serves the country's interests.

Critics Sink Their Teeth Into Donald Trump's ‘Let Them Eat Cake' Speech Confession
Critics slammed Donald Trump's latest admission of the negative impact his tariffs will have on the American economy and U.S. citizens, with Rep. Jerry Gomez (D-Calif.) describing it on social media as the president's own ''let them eat cake' moment.' Trump, during his speech to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday, said the tariffs are 'about making America rich again and making America great again.' 'It's happening and it will happen rather quickly,' he boasted. But Trump then confessed: 'There will be a little disturbance, but we're OK with that. It won't be much.' Watch here: This is his 'let them eat cake' moment. — Rep. Jimmy Gomez (@RepJimmyGomez) March 5, 2025 Trump campaigned on introducing tariffs but promised they wouldn't lead to rising prices, contrary to what multiple leading economists had warned. Last month, though, he confessed they may cause 'short-term a little pain' but said they would be worth it. Can't afford groceries?
