- Vice President JD Vance admits to deepening dispute Between Elon Musk and President Trump, but he stressed his hopes of reconciliation with the Trump administration, praising Musk’s past efforts with Doge and calling him a “transformative entrepreneur.” In defending Trump and refuting Musk’s Epstein’s claims are unfounded, Vance warned that Musk’s aggressive political stance could backfire, including his company and the broader national interests.
Many viewers point out that the hatred between Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, and Donald Trump, the world’s most powerful man, will not be very good for anyone involved.
Trump’s political right-hand JD Vance agrees.
this Tesla CEO and President It dropped to a large extentfirst of all, is the White House’s “big and beautiful bill”, which Musk said would remove all work from his administration’s Department of Efficiency (Doge).
But since Musk left Washington, D.C. a few weeks ago, his attack on President Trump has continued to grow. He encouraged voters to directly oppose the bill by connecting with their political representatives, and Trump said he was “disappointed” in Musk.
That worthy person $342 billion The strike back said Trump would lose the election without his support, and the president then threatened to terminate a series of government contracts with Musk’s private entity.
In response, Musk claimed The president’s name is in Epstein’s archives– He provided no evidence of support. Any thoughts about Trump doing something wrong with Jeffrey Epstein are “BS”, Vice President Vance said in an interview this week.
However, while Musk and Trump seem to have exceeded the point where there is no return, Vice President Vance said he still wants to see SpaceX The founder returns to the fold of Trump 2.0 team.
“My basic reading, first of all, I’m the vice president of President Trump, and my loyalty is always with the president. Elon (Elon) is an incredible entrepreneur and I think Dooger is really good. In our country, our country’s efforts are really good.” “The past weekend” podcast with Theo von.
Vance added: “I hope Elon will eventually get into trouble again. Maybe it’s impossible now because he’s gone so nuclear – I hope it’s.”
Musk’s decision, as Vance describes, Probably not in the best interest of its companysuch as Tesla and SpaceX, now probably for false reasons, is attracting the attention of the Oval Office. Musk’s net worth has taken a shocking hit due to this concern, Tesla’s share price has fallen more than 14% in the past five days alone.
Vance suggested that Musk might be shooting from the hip instead of assessing the consequences of fighting side by side with the White House, adding: “Elon is new to politics…I think it’s a guy who goes into politics and suffers a lot for it.”
Indeed, Musk suffered for his political interests even before spitting with the White House. While heading to the Governor, the protesters’ work and the Trump administration began targeting Tesla by sabotaging cars, showrooms and charging points, not only in the United States, but in Europe.
“In DC, if you’re a business leader, you might be frustrated by the process because it’s more bureaucratic (and) slow-moving. So, I think there’s some frustration out there,” Vance added. “But I think (Musk) is a big mistake to follow the president like this. I think if he had some bloody hatred with the president, most importantly, it would be bad for the country, but I… don’t think it would be good for Elon either.”
A good but not perfect bill
Concerns raised about the bill due to the fiscal impact of the largest tax break in historyCongressional Budget Office(CBO) found that the legislation would increase the deficit by $3.8 trillion, while the proposed Medicaid would cut spending by only $1 trillion.
However, the Trump administration said statements such as “a big beautiful bill increases spending” and “a big beautiful bill increases deficit” are wrong. For example, the White House noted that the CBO’s prediction is that while tariffs will shrink the economy, it will also Reduce federal deficit by $2.8 trillion (No mention of including large bills in its modeling).
“I think it’s a good bill and it’s a lot of good for the American people,” Vance continued. “Look, Elon has the right to his opinion. I’m not saying he has to agree to the bill or agree to everything I say, I just think it’s a huge mistake for the wealthiest people in the world – I think one of the most transformative entrepreneurs of all time fighting the most powerful people in the world – I think saving this country in my life is more than … saving this country in my life.”
He added: “I don’t want to reveal too much confidence, but (Trump) is a little frustrated and feels that some of the criticism is unfair to Elon… The President Don’t think he needs to be in trouble with Elon MuskI actually think that if Elon lightens a little bit, everything will be fine. ”
