BREAKING: Elon Musk Calls For Trump to Be Impeached
The escalating feud between Trump and Elon Musk just went to the highest level when the former DOGE leader called for the impeachment of the sitting president.
You're viewing a single thread.
Sadly enough, this won't escalate into anything because Musk didn't exactly have a lot of friends in the GOP even when Trump's head was crammed shoulder-deep in his ass. He was only tolerated because the GOP had no other real choice, and they didn't want to risk him funding a primary challenger. He has lots of money but no actual political clout. Which means I doubt there's going to be a bunch of Republicans suddenly jumping to Team Musk.
He'll probably go the Liz Cheney route of just being ostracized by everybody. But hey, it'll be a hell of a lot of fun watching all this shit in the meantime.
I don’t know. He’s got tons of money and politicians are like flies to shit with money.
His money is tied up in his companies, which are crashing. Tesla stock is dropping steadily, and the only reason it was making any money at all was because of EV credits, which go away in the Big Beautiful Bill. That's why he hates it so much. It dooms Tesla, which will be bankrupt within two years.
Now he's threatening to decommission the only American spacecraft that goes to the Space Station. That gives the government the excuse to cancel all contracts for Space X, or even confiscate it.
Kill Tesla and nationalize Space X, and he's got nothing left.
They'll go where the voters go. If public sentiment among the MAGA base stays with Trump, so will they. And Musk isn't popular enough among the MAGA base (outside of being a rich useful idiot) to significantly shake Trump's hold.
He already announced he's done donating to the gop after he burned all that money in wisconsins Supreme Court race.
Because he's a man known for never going back on his word before...
Donald Frump controls the military, Melon Husk does not.
In what world is the president going to illegally use the military to kill a billionaire?
They have the CIA for that.
Sorry, wrong governmental agency chosen for my example.
He has the KGB for that as well!
The KGB has Trump. Maybe has Musk too.
Now might be a good time for Putin to off both of them. Maximum chaos effect.
I bet Thiel wants it too. Get his personalityless puppet into power quicker.
Which means I doubt there’s going to be a bunch of Republicans suddenly jumping to Team Musk.
GOP grifters avoiding the biggest pile of money to grift, and you're confident grifters will actively avoid it? I'm not so sure. I'm betting a number of opportunistic GOP will sign up on the Musk train if it means getting a paycheck/personal superpac donation.
Of course it's far too early to tell how this is all going to shake out, but a number of articles are reporting that House Republicans are almost entirely on Trump's side and lashing out at Musk. While there may be a few grifters from super-safe districts that may speak out, Trump is still the face of the party and his influence goes well beyond money; some of these people may stay on Trump's side out of fear of retaliation, especially if sentiment among the rank-and-file MAGA base sticks largely with Trump.
I feel like if he wanted to he could out right buy half the GOP congress people though. Money holds a lot of political power when the politicians are for sale.
He could buy all of them, politicians are particularly cheap. $10K each could buy the entire Congress. That's nothing to Musk.
Half it's been proven buying a politician is not expensive at all. He could buy everyone.
