WHOA: Trump THREATENS Elon Musk as feud EXPLODES

a major escalation here in the exploding feud between Trump and Musk amid the budget bill drama so after Elon Musk tweeted on Monday night that he would fund primary opponents to anybody who would vote for Trump’s budget bill and then threatened to start a new political party that would ostensibly draw voters from the GOP trump responded taking to Choose Social and writing “Elon Musk knew long before he so strongly endorsed me for president that I was strongly against the EV mandate it is ridiculous and was always a major part of my campaign electric cars are fine but not everybody should be forced to own one elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history by far and without subsidies Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa no more rocket launches satellites or electric car production and our country would save a fortune perhaps we should have Doge take a good hard look at this big money to be saved and now Elon Musk knows exactly what so many other Americans have felt when they’ve been on the receiving end of threats by the very person Elon helped gain power and for Musk it’s not just against his business empire but his very freedom in the United States of America trump is essentially saying that he’s going to use Doge the Department of Government Efficiency that Elon himself ran to investigate and potentially eliminate the very subsidies that keep Elon’s companies afloat in other words Trump created a department put Elon Musk in charge of that department and is now threatening to use that same department to destroy Elon’s livelihood showing the extent to which he’s not just willing but proud openly admitting that he’ll weaponize the federal government for his own partisan political vendettas just in case you were wondering whether or not he’d do that kind of thing I think you just got your answer it’s worth reiterating here that Elon Musk didn’t just endorse Trump the guy literally bought Twitter for $44 billion dollars and turned it into Trump’s personal megaphone he hosted Trump’s rallies he spread election conspiracy theories on Trump’s behalf he pumps a quarter of a billion dollars into getting Trump elected president and Trump’s response here the moment Elon shows even the slightest dissent or push back trump threatens to destroy his entire business empire and kick him out of the country altogether and I got to say it sure is out of character to see Donald J trump attack somebody who used to be a close confidant other than Ronald McDaniel Michael Cohen Gordon Sland Rex Tillerson Mike Pompeo Kaye Mcanini George Papadopoulos Christopher Ray and Mike Pence just to name a few who could have possibly guessed that he would discard an otherwise close ally the moment they lost their political usefulness to him truly one of life’s great mysteries so if you’re wondering why this matters beyond just billionaire drama it’s because this is exactly how authoritarians operate they demand absolute loyalty total feely and the second somebody steps out of line even somebody who’s helped them gain their power they get the full authoritarian treatment today it’s Elon Musk tomorrow could be any business leader any governor any judge who doesn’t tow the line perfectly just ask Brad Lander and Alex Padilla and Lam Monica Macyver and Mayor Baraka and Judge Dugan this wasn’t a bug for Trump it is a feature the same guy who spent years complaining about the weaponization of government is doing it right now in real time and to a greater extent than we’ve ever seen before but here’s the thing that’s even more chilling trump is also making not so subtle threats about Elon’s citizenship status when he says that Elon should head back home to South Africa he’s not just talking about business he’s talking about a naturalized American citizen potentially being forced to leave the country and if you think that feels like an overreach for someone like Donald Trump remember that he’s already signed executive orders trying to end birthright citizenship and has talked extensively about mass deportations which he’s carrying out right now even in some cases like in Los Angeles with the help of the US military so just like his threats to use the government to wage economic warfare on his enemies he’s also putting on full display that he’s willing to use the tools at his immigration disposal to hurt his enemies as well frankly I’m unconcerned about Elon Musk but think about what this represents more broadly it is all the proof you need that Donald Trump will weaponize the government and abuse all of his powers to harm people who he either has a personal or political vendetta against now in terms of the implications for Elon’s business here Tesla has benefited enormously from federal EV tax credits and clean energy subsidies spacex has billions in NASA contracts and defense department deals if Donald Trump does follow through on his threats he could genuinely Elon’s companies which is not to say that Elon doesn’t deserve it because he’s no saint either remember Musk is trying to frame himself as some fiscal conservative in all of this but the reality is that he is just as full of as Trump is he had full range of government with Doge and instead of going after the biggest purveyor of waste fraud and abuse which would be the Pentagon failed seven audits in a row he went after USAD which accounts for all of 1/ half of 1% of the federal budget but which was investigating him and Starlink he went after the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau which is actually a net positive for American consumers who’ve been defrauded by banks and predatory financial institutions but would have had oversight onto him and his ex- payment processor he went after agencies like the Department of Labor the National Labor Relations Board the EPA all agencies that had direct oversight or regulatory authority over him and his companies in other words he had the perfect opportunity to actually eliminate waste fraud and abuse his stated mission and instead squander that opportunity helping himself and his bottom line the guy is not some champion for fiscal conservatism he is a greedy kleptocrat who looked out for literally one person when he had free reign of government so it’s pretty rich that he is once again presenting himself as this white knight when he is exactly the kind of self-deing fraud that he pretended to want to curb the reality is that if Donald Trump is willing to do this to the richest man in the world somebody who literally bought him a social media platform and spent $250 million getting him elected president what exactly do you think he’s going to do to regular Americans who dare criticize him what’s he going to do to journalists and activists and anybody who doesn’t show sufficient loyalty to Dear Leader this isn’t just about Donald Trump’s lack of loyalty or his willingness to bite the hand that feeds him this is about a president who views the entire federal government as his personal weapon to be used against anybody who crosses him and if we don’t recognize that for the authoritarian behavior it is we are going to wake up in a country where disscent isn’t just discouraged it is criminalized now Elon did write back responding to a tweet describing Trump’s threats and writing I am literally saying cut it all now he then responded to another tweet that said “SpaceX’s revenue is more than NASA’s budget and cutting EV subsidies would actually be better for Tesla go on Trump pull your stunt get humiliated and beg Russia to bring your astronauts back by writing 100 and a laughing emoji.” Which means that Trump is probably going to respond to Elon and this feud is going to erupt even further but it’s important for all of us to remember here that for as corrupt and abusive as Trump is being that the reason this was made possible in the first place is because of the target of Trump’s eye no one’s hands are clean here and no matter what happens both of these people both Trump and Elon are to blame

  3. I wouldn't care is musk loses all of this govt contracts…since he was being investigated by all the agencies musk tries to shut down.

  4. I don't believe a word out of tRumps or Elonia's mouth. This whole "so called" fued is likely a smokescreen.
    Trying to make Elon look as if he did the right thing with doge because he's showing disdain for the "bug beautiful Bill.
    Elon is no champion for the US in any way shape or form and neither is his buddy in the WH.

  6. None of this matters.
    There is NOTHING Trump could be proven to have done that will cause him to lose support. He wasn’t lying when he said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose any support.

  13. Musk more than likely has some receipts of Trumps depravity and fraud, the first few months of trumps administration was extremely chaotic and musk and big balls got free access to most of federal databases etc.. Musk also has insider knowledge of USA military and space operations, I bet Putin or Saudi crown prince would pay handsomely for such information, I do fear that musk may end up falling out a window, Trump is following in Putins dicktator steps.

  21. I’d rather keep Elon close! I keep my enemies close and I know he won’t be stealing any more elections. Endorse the Dems, Elon

  22. Canadian here. Wow…when will the stupidity stop between Musk and Trump. They are both acting like little children. They both seem to treat this whole thing like a big reality TV show. Think about it. They both seem to love the media and being in front of a camera. American is so screwed. Nobody takes the US serious anymore. If the once great country USA falls, it will be on Trump. Why is it so hard for Americans to get rid of Trump? The sooner he is gone, the better. Otherwise its 'bye bye America'.

  23. “But the stranger that dwelleth within you shall be as to you one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.”

  26. If I was one of trumpet’s kids I would be shacking in my pants not knowing when daddy will extradite me or my momma? Really trumpet? What a looser you are!

  27. Plz pray for all men, kings and all who are in “authority” (not those in power w/o authority)that we may lead a quiet & peaceable life….in all godliness & reverence. 1 Tim 2🙏🏾

  32. Hey if someone reads this and has a big following spread this please.
    We are all tired of money in our political system. If in 2026 we get a super majority in the House and Senate the FIRST bill should be getting money out of politics. Overturn Citizens United! If that takes a constitutional amendment then DO IT! Enough with WE THE PEOPLE being billionaire pawns.

  36. My money is on musk & im backing him , if he can get rid of trump’s fat a@@, I am all for it, I literally hate, this coward.
