A spectacular public fallout erupted between Elon Musk and Donald Trump after Musk called for Trump’s impeachment and criticised his economic policies on X/Twitter. Trump retaliated by threatening to withdraw federal support for Musk’s companies and mocking him publicly.

Once close allies, they now engage in public insults, marking a dramatic political and business split. Their public spat highlights the fragile alliance between political and tech elites, unraveling into personal attacks and political chaos.
