Musk&#8217;s support for impeachment came in response to a post on his platform, where he simply stated &#8220;Yes.&#8221; This statement erupted into a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >larger social media conflict<\/a> between Musk and Trump. The dispute began when Trump labeled Musk&#8217;s opposition to a meaningful spending and tax bill as &#8220;Trump derangement syndrome,&#8221; stating that their working relationship was likely over. Musk had criticized the bill as filled with pork and financially irresponsible, prompting Trump to express disappointment in Musk&#8217;s comments during a meeting with the German chancellor.<\/p>\n<p>Trump threatened to revoke Musk&#8217;s government contracts due to his stance, while Musk countered by emphasizing the unfairness of tax incentives being cut for electric vehicles while oil and gas subsidies remained intact. Despite Musk&#8217;s vocal objections and apparent call for impeachment,there is currently a lack of interest in pursuing impeachment efforts within Congress,especially among Democrats,who feel it is unlikely to gain the necessary bipartisan support.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Musk appears to endorse Trump impeachment as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-says-he-doesnt-mind-elon-turning-against-me-in-first-post-since-musks-epstein-files-claim-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"... says he doesn\u2019t mind \u2018... turning against me\u2019 in first ... since Musk\u2019s Epstein files claim - Washington Examiner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/now-fauci-fires-back-at-nicki-minajs-vaccine-misinformation-no-evidence-vaccine-causes-impotence\/\" title=\"Now Fauci Fires Back At Nicki Minaj\u2019s \u2018Vaccine Misinformation\u2019: \u2018No Evidence\u2019 Vaccine Causes Impotence\">social media spat<\/a> spirals<\/a> out of control<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2140816\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/elon-musk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Elon Musk<\/a> appeared to express support for impeaching President<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"> Donald Trump<\/a> and replacing him with Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jd-vance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">JD Vance<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Yes,&rdquo;

Musk, who spent almost $300 million on last year&rsquo;s election, had also encouraged the primarying of lawmakers who voted for it.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about Musk&rsquo;s comments during a White House meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump conveyed his disappointment in Musk, saying he was uncertain whether they would have a working relationship in the future.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Elon is upset because we took the EV mandate, which was a lot of money for electric vehicles, and they&rsquo;re having a hard time,&rdquo; Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. &ldquo;I know that disturbed him. He wanted somebody that he knew very well to run NASA, and I didn&rsquo;t think it was appropriate. He happened to be a Democrat, like totally Democrat.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3432816\/trump-musk-simmering-feud-tax-bill-ev-mandates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>TRUMP AND MUSK AT WAR: SIMMERING FEUD OVER TAX BILL AND EV MANDATES SPILLS OUT INTO OPEN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Musk responded in real time on X, arguing Trump would not have won last year&rsquo;s election without him and complaining about the president&rsquo;s &ldquo;ingratitude.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Keep the EV\/solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil &amp; gas subsidies are touched (very unfair!!), but ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill,&rdquo; he wrote. &ldquo;In the entire history of civilization, there has never been legislation that both big and beautiful. Everyone knows this! Either you get a big and ugly bill or a slim and beautiful bill. Slim and beautiful is the way.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Trump later threatened to revoke Musk&rsquo;s federal government contracts, with the Tesla CEO announcing his SpaceX will start decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately.<\/p>\n<p>There is little appetite on Capitol Hill to pursue any impeachment effort of Trump, with Democrats in the minority and appearing largely uninterested in resolutions to do so. <\/p>\n<p>Democratic leadership put pressure on Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) to pull his articles of impeachment against Trump from the House floor last month, and many House Democrats have argued that pushing for an impeachment inquiry is pointless with a lack of GOP support.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s&nbsp;unlikely Musk&rsquo;s apparent impeachment endorsement will tip the scale and cause Republicans to join the inquiry push from Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>Thanedar isn&rsquo;t expecting it but would &ldquo;love to see a bipartisan coalition forming around impeaching the president&rdquo; due to&nbsp;the feud between Trump and Musk.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I usually don&rsquo;t have much to agree with Elon Musk,&rdquo;&nbsp;Thanedar&nbsp;said. &ldquo;But certainly on two things: I agree the so-called big, beautiful bill must be defeated, and Mr. Trump &hellip; I fully believe that he should be impeached.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_2140816\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"2140816\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Musk seems to back Trump&#8217;s impeachment amid escalating social media conflict<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2443543,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/musk-scaled-1024x683.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[50410,3636,4250,56633,3634],"class_list":["post-2443542","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-controversy-2","tag-impeachment","tag-musk","tag-public-spat","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/musk-scaled-1024x683.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2443542","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2443542"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2443542\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2443546,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2443542\/revisions\/2443546"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2443543"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2443542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2443542"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2443542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
