Vance, a supporter of both figures.

As the situation unfolded, Vance initially attempted to lighten the mood before later expressing his support for Trump, emphasizing the president&#8217;s credibility and the media&#8217;s misrepresentation of him. Throughout the conflict, Vance remained cautious in his public commentary, choosing his words strategically amid the ongoing drama between Trump and Musk.  <\/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\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?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<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>If you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-desantis-warns-u-s-must-secure-southern-border-or-face-significant-risk-of-terror-attacks\/\" title=\"DeSantis: Secure Southern Border or Risk Terror Attacks.\">frequent social media<\/a>, you know that just about everyone has an opinion (or three) on the erupting feud between President Donald Trump and former Department of Government Efficiency head Elon Musk.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone, that is, except one notable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/jd-vance-hammers-ilhan-omar-genocidal-language-white-men-diatribe-resurfaces\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media presence<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Vice President J.D.

However, one prominent figure has remained silent: Vice President J.D. Vance. A known Trump supporter and close friend of Musk, Vance has not commented publicly as tensions rose this week. On Tuesday, Musk criticized the One Big Beautiful Act, labeling it &#8220;pork-filled&#8221; and a &#8220;disgusting abomination.&#8221; He expressed his frustration with a tweet condemning the spending bill and those who supported it.<\/p>\n<p>Musk intensified his criticism on Wednesday while Trump responded more quietly to the situation. It wasn&#8217;t until Thursday afternoon that Trump addressed the issue substantively, which angered Musk and escalated their feud further. That evening, Vance finally spoke up about the matter-an unusual delay for someone typically quick to engage on social media. Initially using humor to lighten the mood while promoting his podcast appearance with Theo Von, he later adopted a serious tone to clarify his stance against Musk&#8217;s attacks on Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Vance stated that &#8220;President Trump has done more than any person in my lifetime to earn the trust of the movement he leads,&#8221; expressing pride in standing by him. Although he didn&#8217;t mention Musk directly, this comment seemed aimed at addressing allegations made by Musk regarding Trump&#8217;s supposed ties to Jeffrey Epstein-claims that could undermine Trump&#8217;s credibility.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday morning, Vance continued defending Trump against smear campaigns from older adversaries than Musk as well: &#8220;There are many lies corporate media tells about President Trump,&#8221; he wrote on X (formerly Twitter), asserting that claims of Trump&#8217;s impulsiveness are unfounded based on his experience observing him under pressure<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2443905,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/JD-Vance.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[14161,4250,6317,3634,15469],"class_list":["post-2443904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-feud","tag-musk","tag-statement","tag-trump","tag-vance"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/JD-Vance.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2443904","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=2443904"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2443904\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2443908,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2443904\/revisions\/2443908"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2443905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2443904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2443904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2443904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
