Musk agrees ‘Trump should be impeached'
Former White House government efficiency czar Elon Musk has claimed that President Donald Trump would have lost the election without his support, agreed with the notion that Trump should be impeached, and floated the idea of a new political party to actually represent the majority of Americans. The clash between Musk and Trump over the federal tax and spending bill escalated into a series of sharp public exchanges on social media on Thursday, with the billionaire accusing the US president of 'ingratitude' and Trump accusing the former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief of going 'crazy.' 'President vs Elon. Who wins? My money's on Elon. Trump should be impeached and JD Vance should replace him,' conservative blogger Ian Miles Cheong posted on X. 'Yes,' Musk replied. The owner of X had earlier claimed that 'without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51–49 in the Senate… Such ingratitude.' Musk also launched a poll asking his 220 million followers: 'Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?' Within four hours, amlost three million users responded, with roughly 81% voting 'Yes'. Trump, in turn, said he was 'very disappointed' with Musk and claimed that the Tesla CEO's opposition to his 'Big Beautiful Bill' stemmed from cuts to EV tax credits. 'Elon was 'wearing thin.' I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!' Trump wrote on Truth Social. In another post, he added: 'The easiest way to save money in our Budget – Billions and Billions of Dollars – is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts.' After stepping down from running DOGE last month, Musk has intensified his attacks on Trump's tax-cut bill, calling the legislation a 'pork-filled disgusting abomination' that would push the US into 'debt slavery.' The House passed the president's flagship measure in May, and Trump aims to sign the final version by the Fourth of July, pending Senate approval.
