Tech mogul Elon Musk suggested that President Trump should be impeached and replaced with Vice President JD Vance after an explosive, bitter rift erupted between the two billionaires Thursday.
Musk responded to a post from right-wing pundit Ian Miles Cheong, with whom the Tesla and SpaceX CEO frequently interacts on social media and agreed with his assessment that the GOP president should be ousted.
“President vs Elon. Who wins? My money’s on Elon. Trump should be impeached and JD Vance should replace him,” Cheong wrote on X.
Here is the latest on Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s feud
Musk simply replied, “yes.”
The broadside came after Musk sniped that the Trump administration wasn’t releasing documents related to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein because the president would be mentioned — and potentially implicated — in them.
After the tech mogul began going nuclear on the president over his concerns regarding the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Trump had accused Musk of going “crazy” and indicated he had been “wearing thin” in the White House for some time.
“I don’t mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, later adding: “I didn’t create this mess, I’m just here to FIX IT.”
