Congressional Republicans are openly attacking Elon Musk like never before after the billionaire Tesla founder claimed President Trump is “in the Epstein files” and even called for him to be impeached.
Why it matters: It’s a stunning fall from grace for a man who flexed so much influence over Republican lawmakers just weeks — even days — earlier.
- “This is absolutely childish and ridiculous. Enough of this nonsense,” Rep. Greg Murphy (R-N.C.) said of Musk’s comments, adding that the recently departed Trump lieutenant has “lost some of his gravitas.”
- “Nobody elected Elon Musk, and a whole lot of people don’t even like him, to be honest with you, even on both sides,” said Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-N.J.).
- A spokesperson for Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Driving the news: Musk initially focused his attacks on the massive GOP tax and spending cut legislation, arguing Tuesday that it doesn’t go far enough in cutting the deficit.
- By Thursday, he turned his sights on Trump, claiming Trump is “in the Epstein files” and adding, “The truth will come out.”
- He took his boldest step by responding to a post that said “Trump should be impeached and JD Vance should replace him” with a single word: “Yes.”
What they’re saying: “We’re getting people calling our offices 100% in support of President Trump,” said Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Okla.), a member of House GOP leadership.
- “Every tweet that goes out, people are more lockstep behind President Trump and [Musk is] losing favor,” Hern added.
- Rep. Lloyd Smucker (R-Pa.) said Musk is “starting to look a little crazy” and “was always an important voice, but … it’s going to be a lot more people weighing what Trump has to say than what Musk has to say.”
Between the lines: Musk’s $420 billion net worth and ability to pour millions into any given GOP primary has been something of a Sword of Damocles for congressional Republicans since he entered politics.
- He has even signaled he supports primary challenges against the 215 House Republicans who voted for the bill.
- But now that it’s Trump vs. Musk, Republican lawmakers privately say they’re far more afraid of a Trump non-endorsement than they are of Musk’s money.
What we’re hearing: “I would rather have Trump on my side,” said one House Republican, speaking on the condition of anonymity to offer candid thoughts on the electoral side of the Trump-Musk blowup.
- Said another: “On the value of Elon playing against us in primaries compared to Trump endorsing us in primaries, the latter is 100 times more relevant.”
- “Elon can burn $5 million in a primary, but if Trump says ‘that’s the person Republicans should reelect,’ it’s a wasted $5 million,” the lawmaker said…..
…
- Rep. Mark Alford (R-Mo.) told Axios: “I think we all kind of knew that it was not going to end great.”
Note….
AGAIN….
I WILL Guess that the same fate awaits Stephen Miller before things are over…..

The Post IS HERE….
The question IS….
Will Trump sic the Dogs on him?
Elon COULD LOSE ALL of his inside Government access and ‘deals’….
Again?
It COULD Cost Musk TONS of Money…..
In any event, it would be tons of money that he will no longer be funding Republican candidates with.
The hapless, flailing Democrats lucked themselves into a good day today.
This could all be a work to lead up to the main event at Wrestlemania…..
Stephen Miller is the one person who is going to wind up stuck to Trump no matter what. They actually share a worldview and its not purely transactional like it is with Trump and so many others.
However, Miller’s wife was Musk’s spokesperson when Musk was working for the White House. Just last week, she left that post to continue working with Musk in the private sector.
What does she do now?
He, he, he…..
She’s in a BAD Place…
Michael Cohen was tighter….
What Happened to Him?
Miller WILL become expendable….
They ALL do….
Ask Bannon, eh?
It is true that Trump has no permanent allies, only future enemies, but I can think of a ton of people Trump will likely turn on before Stephen Miller, including JD Vance.
I agree that Donald WILL TRURN on Vance…..
Trump KNOWS he’s a lame duck….
Vanace HAS ALREADY been mentioned for 2028….
As I HAVE pointed out…..
Trump has about 6 months before the SERIOUS 2026 Midterms and SERIUOUS 2028 Presidential campaigns begin….
The LOSS of Juice to Trump should be ROUGH and Upsetting for Donald , who HAS to worry about a 2027/2028 Democratic House majority …
I’ve also been saying….
‘WAIT’…..
Karma IS a BITCH….
Nervous Republicans Flee Trump-Musk Blast Radius
“The bromance may be dead, but Republicans worry that an escalating feud between President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk could live on, leaving collateral damage in its wake for weeks, months or even years,” NBC News reports.
Said a Musk adviser: “He does not give a fuck about Republicans or the RNC, or House seats, or whatever.”
The adviser added: “He will blow them up; he will… I mean, we already know Republicans are going to lose the House. Senate will likely be fine, but Elon does not give a shit about that party stuff.”
Elon Musk Predicts a Recession Later This Year
Elon Musk posted on X: “The Trump tariffs will cause a recession in the second half of this year.”
Here’s thought?
Since DOGE WAS Musk’s baby?
What happens to that?
Elon already has like 11 recent babies born this year.
Yup…..
He CAN afford it…..

This was nothing if not predictable. But is it the world’s funniest social media spat, or a seismic event for American politics?

Five Proud Boys leaders ( the domestic terrorsist wing of the Republican Party) ,four of whom were convicted of seditious conspiracy to keep Trump in power in Jan. 6 2021 want the government to pay them 100 million dollars .
Trump ,who pardoned the hoodlums ,now must either must either defend the convictions or pay the pieces of filth off.
Being Trump, and given his self-conceit as a world-champion successful negotiator, Trump should try bargain these criminals down to $100 + legal costs. We know that he knows how to close a deal, don’t we?
Wouldn’t be surprised if Trump told Bondi to settle
The crook takes care of his fellow criminals
