Donald Trump ignited the war that we now see raging between him and paper billionaire Elon Musk this morning when he said Musk was criticizing his “Big, Beautiful Bill” because he has “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
Where things have gone since:
- Musk on Twitter: “Without me, Trump would have lost the election. Such ingratitude.”
- Trump on Truth Social: “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!”
- More Trump on Truth Social: “The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!”
- Musk on Twitter: “@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!”
And, this just in, Musk is now calling for Trump to be impeached, and Trump ally Steve Bannon is calling for Trump to investigate Musk’s drug use and efforts to get access to security briefings, and to deport him.
Grab some popcorn.

It’s interesting how specific Elon Musk is being in his “Trump would have lost the election without me” tweet. Dems would control the house and Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate? Why those exact numbers? 👀
HOW DOES HE KNOW IT WOULD BE THAT EXACT NUMBER??— marticates.bsky.social (@marticates.bsky.social) June 5, 2025 at 6:03 PM

History teaches us that alliances between oligarchs and fascists, while initially beneficial to each other, usually don’t end well.

Has the plane carrying Elon Musk landed in El Salvador yet?

The great thing about this Elon and Donald fight is that it’s escalating by the minute.
By 7pm Elon will post that Donald wears a wig.
By 8pm Donald will threaten Elon with deportation.
By 9pm Musk will have posted proof that he hacked the election.
