It should come as no surprise that the bromance between these two ego maniacs would have come to a fiery end.
We knew this day would come, but no one had Musk and Trump beefing with each other so soon on their bingo cards. The alleged ketamine abuser couldn’t keep his disdain for Trump’s “one big beautiful bill,” calling it a “disgusting abomination.”

“I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,” Musk began. “This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.”
Trump was uncharacteristically quiet following Musk’s initial comments about his legislative centerpiece of his second presidency, the “one big beautiful bill.”
That all changed when Trump finally “clapped back” at Musk while taking questions during his meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
Trump said he was “very surprised” and “disappointed” by his former financier’s comments about his stupid bill, claiming the Tesla chief saw the bill and understood its inner workings better than anybody, while suggesting that Musk was mad because of the removal of subsidies and mandates for electric vehicles.
Elon Musk Had Time For Donald Trump
Musk responded in real time via his “former platform,” X, formerly Twitter, with a flurry of posts on X accusing Trump of “ingratitude” and “Without me, Trump would have lost the election,” while refuting the orange menace’s claims.
“Keep the EV/solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil & gas subsidies are touched (very unfair!!), but ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill,” Musk wrote.
Oh, and he wasn’t done. Musk then hit the president with a low blow, writing, “Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!”
Donald Trump Claps Back
Trump finally fired back on his platform, Truth Social, by threatening to cut Musk’s government contracts. “The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it.” Felon 47 wrote.
Musk replied by threatening to decommission SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft, which could be detrimental to the International Space Station and NASA, as it is described as “the only spacecraft currently flying that is capable of returning significant amounts of cargo to Earth” and can seat seven passengers.
Musk also agreed with a post stating that Trump should be impeached and replaced by JD Vance.
Oh, this is getting spicy.
While all of this was going on, CNN reports that Tesla stocks took a hit and Musk’s net worth shrank.
Per CNN:
Tesla shares plummeted 15% this afternoon as Elon Musk’s battle with President Donald Trump intensified.
Trump threatened in a social media post to target Musk’s business empire.
“The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The Tesla selloff has wiped off more than $150 billion off the market value of Telsa, which started the day worth nearly $1.1 trillion.
It has also erased a chunk off the net worth of Musk, the world’s richest person.
Social media has pulled up all the seats, grabbed some popcorn and are currently watching Musk go at with Trump and his supporters, you can see those reactions in the gallery below.

Elon Musk‘s alignment with President Donald Trump‘s administration is coming under scrutiny after the world’s richest man criticized a massive bill that could add trillions to the United States’ debt. Via his X social media platform, Elon Musk blasted Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” by labeling it a “disgusting abomination.”
On Tuesday (June 3), Elon Musk took to X and aimed his critique at the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” becoming the first Trump ally to decry the bill and its well-documented flaws publicly.
“I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,” Musk began. “This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.”
What was curious about the South African businessman’s missive was that it was completely backed by the Republican Party members of the House, which is public knowledge. Some have pondered why Musk didn’t aim his vitriol towards those elected officials instead of painting his disdain for the budget bill with a wide brush.
Via Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, the White House’s response to Musk’s jabs was succinct, and that Trump is all in on getting the bill through the Senate.
“This is one big, beautiful bill, and he’s sticking to it,” Leavitt said, responding to a reporter in the press room who asked if the president would be upset by Musk’s comments.
Musk has the support of some Republican Party officials such as Sen. Rand Paul, who wrote on X, “I want to see the tax cuts made permanent, but I also want to see the $5 trillion in new debt removed from the bill. At least 4 of us in the Senate feel this way,” which was retweeted by the Tesla founder. He also shared other supporting statements from others who feel similarly to him about the bill.
This isn’t the first time Musk, who reportedly exited DOGE and the White House last week, has railed against the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, doing so in a CBS News interview last month.
“I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing,” Musk said in May.
On X, the reactions to Elon Musk seemingly breaking with the Trump administration and Republican Party members of Congress were plentiful. We’ve got some listed below.

Cory Booker is shutting down claims he was out here throwing up a Nazi salute.
MAGA Republicans and Elon Musk are losing their sh*t and doing their best to compare a moment where Cory Booker put his hand on his heart and waved goodbye to the crowd at the Democratic National Convention in California to when Musk clearly did a Nazi salute.
Through a spokesperson, Booker shut down those ridiculous claims.
“Cory Booker was obviously just waving to the crowd. Anyone who claims his wave is the same as Elon Musk‘s gesture is operating in bad faith,” Maya Krishna-Rogers, spokesperson for Booker, said to Newsweek in a statement sent via email on Sunday. “The differences between the two are obvious to anyone without an agenda.”
Musk also doubled down on his acceptance of th use of the word “retard” as an insult.

MAGA Republicans going hard trying to make something out of nothing about Cory Booker waving goodbye to the crowd, comes after Musk and Steve Bannon both were both accused doing nazi salutes during events.
Musk was accused of doing a Nazi salute during Trump rally during his second inauguration following his unfortunate election win.

Still despite Booker’s statement and the video evidence, you can’t tell these MAGA fools a damn thing as continue to take photos of other elected officials clearly waving bye, and using them as evidence of them doing Nazi salutes in order to vindicate the alleged ketamine abuser Elon Musk.

Billionaire playboy Elon Musk might be fighting some demons. A report claims he was using several drugs while he was advising Donald Trump.
As spotted on The Daily Beast, the tech entrepreneur might have a serious drug habit. Last week, The New York Times published a shocking report stating that Elon Musk regularly abused ketamine, ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms and more while supporting Donald Trump’s recent presidential campaign. The Times spoke to several individuals close to Musk at the time, and they all claim to have witnessed him use these substances. One insider says Musk developed issues with his bladder due to consistent use of ketamine. During a conversation with former CNN anchor Don Lemon, he revealed that he used ketamine for mental health support but made it clear he didn’t abuse it. “If you’ve used too much ketamine, you can’t really get work done, and I have a lot of work,” he explained. Another source alleged Musk would usually carry a box that contained about 20 pills, which was confirmed by a photo provided to the Times.
If these claims are indeed true then this could be the reason for his at times bizarre behavior while he campaigned for Donald Trump’s reelection. During a rally in Butler, Pa., Musk took the stage and began to jump around with very little rhythm while Donald Trump stood at the podium. Months later at the inauguration event he gave what was perceived by many to be a “Nazi-like” salute. In February, he attended the Conservative Political Action Conference wielding a chainsaw. Nevertheless, Musk remained a mainstay in President Trump’s inner circle and oversaw the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) up until this week.
On Friday (May 30), President Trump held a press conference at the White House, with Musk in attendance, confirming he would be stepping down from the role. According to CNBC, he deflected the question regarding the claims made by the Times surrounding his alleged drug abuse. Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked him about the report to which he rhetorically asked “Is that the same publication that got a Pulitzer Prize for false reporting on … Russia-gate?” Musk went on to add “I think the judge just ruled against The New York Times for their lies about the Russia-gate hoax, and that they might have to give back that prize. Let’s move on.”

According to X, formerly Twitter, Donald Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff and known hater of immigrants, Stephen Miller, might have lost his wife to the richest immigrant on the planet.
Katie Miller, the wife of Stephen Miller, is reportedly following Elon Musk out of the White House, starting rumours that there is trouble in racist paradise, aka the Trump White House.
Three sources familiar with the matter told CNN Katie Miller, who had been working as a top adviser and spokesperson for the Department of Government Efficiency, is joining Musk in the private sector.
Like Musk, Katie Miller was employed as a special government employee since Felon 47’s unfortunate return to the White House while previously being paid by the Republican consulting firm P2 Public Affairs in an advisory capacity for private clients, including Apple, before deciding to work with DOGE.
Miller’s special government employee was set to expire on Friday, hitting the limit of 130 days of service, and according to Raw Story, has been helping Musk by setting up interviews for the Tesla chief not related to his “work” with the government.
In one of his most recent interviews, which many believe was the nail in the coffin for Trump and Musk’s MAGA bromance, Phony Stark was critical of the Orange Menace’s legislative centerpiece of his political agenda, his “big beautiful” budget bill.
Social Media Is Clowning Stephen Miller
When news of Katie Miller joining Musk hit the timelines, “throuple” began trending, with many clowning Stephen Miller, saying that he lost his wife to an immigrant.
Other posts joked about Miller being the next sucker to carry a child for the billionaire procreator. “extremely buried lede today is that Elon Musk probably seduced Stephen Miller’s wife to impregnate her with another test tube baby,” one user on X wrote.
While all of this is happening, Stephen Miller has been rage-tweeting about the fact that Trump’s “big beautiful bill” will explode the debt. He also had kind words to say about the “work” DOGE did, claiming it was just the start of things to come.
We won’t be shocked if he was typing that while grinding his white nationalist teeth.
He’s still gonna get these jokes though. We compiled the best ones in the gallery below.

Was it worth it? X is asking the billion-dollar question after Elon Musk, aka Phony Stark, announced he is leaving the Trump administration.
Musk announced on the platform he allegedly sold to xAI that his time leading DOGE has come to an end. He also wrote in the same post that he was thankful to Donald Trump for allowing him to run the “cost-cutting” agency, which, however, didn’t achieve significant cost-cutting results.
The Tesla chief was appointed as a “special government employee,” which allowed him to work for the federal government for 130 days. Musk came on board on January 20, Felon 47’s inauguration, which means his tenure would be coming to an end at the end of May.
Elon Musk’s announcement comes after the billionaire criticized his former boss’s legislative centerpiece of his Trump’s political agenda, his “big beautiful” budget bill.
“As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending,” Musk wrote on X.
“The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.”
Speaking with the BBC, Musk explained why he was not feeling Trump’s “big beautiful bill.”
Per BBC:
The BBC understands that the White House will begin “offboarding” Musk as a special government employee on Wednesday night.
Musk’s exit comes after he said he was “disappointed” with Trump’s budget, which proposes multi-trillion dollar tax breaks and a boost to defence spending.
The SpaceX and Tesla boss said in an interview with BBC’s US partner CBS that the bill would increase the federal deficit, adding that he thought it “undermines the work” being done at Doge.
Musk’s association with the MAGA movement has also not been beneficial for his business, which has been struggling since he invested in Trump and the Make America Great Again initiative.
Tesla is currently experiencing a slump in Europe, with sales plummeting by nearly 50 percent, which many believe is also the reason Musk decided to step back from politics.
Social media has been using the moment to take shots at Musk, as well as point out that he used his time as a donor to Trump to ensure he stays wealthy despite his business taking a hit.

Grimes will no longer be appearing at this summer’s World Pride celebrations in Washington, D.C., citing a need to attend to unspecified “family issues.”
Announced as part of the two-day celebration which runs from June 6–7, Grimes was originally announced as part of the Saturday lineup, which also features Troye Sivan, Kim Petras, Raye, Sofi Tukker, and a DJ set from RuPaul, but has now removed herself from the event.

“Hello friends, I am so so sorry and regretful to say I have to cancel my pride show in order to deal with family issues,” Grimes wrote in a statement shared to social media on Monday (May 26).
Trending on Billboard
“I want to say that I am aware the situation has been a great inconvenience to the fans for some time, and I am truly determined to make sure this is no longer the case very soon,” she added. “I think the show is still going to be amazing and the lineup is great. I hope this is early enough and gives people enough time if they wish to change their plans. And I *will* make this up to you guys very soon.”
The World Pride event has not announced any replacement for Grimes, but did issue a statement on their Instagram Stories addressing her decision to leave the lineup. “We’re sending love and support to Grimes during this time as she steps away to focus on personal matters,” they wrote. “We fully support her decision and are thinking of her and her family.”
No specifics have been given as to the “family issues” Grimes mentioned in her post, though she has previously taken to social media to criticize former partner Elon Musk and his behavior as the father of her three children.
In February, she responded to Musk’s decision to bring their first-born son to a White House briefing, claiming, “He should not be in public like this.” Several days later, Grimes tweeted directly at Musk, saying in a since-deleted tweet, “plz respond about our child’s medical crisis. I am sorry to do this publicly but it is no longer acceptable to ignore this situation.”
The D.C. World Pride event will launch on Friday, June 6, with Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton, Marina, and others set to perform on the opening night.

As Elon Musk says he will be spending a “lot less” money on politics, that action is now drowned out by the revelation of how toxic he’s become all around. This came to light in a segment on “CNN News Central” on Wednesday (May 21) where analyst Harry Enten detailed how far the tech billionaire who headed the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team that slashed thousands of federal jobs has fallen.
“How unpopular is he?” Enten said, utilizing a flatscreen showing the data. “How low can you go? Oh, my – okay, take a look here: Elon Musk’s net favorability rating, look at this shift back in 2017, before he really started this politics thing. He was at plus-24 points. Look at where he is now: Whoa, he fell through the floor, minus-19 points. Among Democrats, the fall was even more dramatic. We’re talking about going from plus-35 points on net favorability rating. That is quite a popular guy among Democrats, but get this – now down to minus-91 points. You can’t really go lower than that. I guess you could go down to minus-100 points, but he became political kryptonite.”Enten highlighted how Musk’s efforts with DOGE led to many Americans truly disliking him, with those who identify as Democrats being the most expressive, noting his attempts to influence the Wisconsin Supreme Court election race held earlier this year. But his comparison of Tesla, which Musk co-founded, to General Motors in terms of favorability really showed the height of disdain Musk has earned. “We’re going to compare General Motors and Tesla,” Enten began. “General Motors, quite well-liked by the American people, plus-23 points on net favorability rating. But look at Tesla, minus-20 points. So this idea that Tesla could somehow separate itself from Elon Musk, the American people saw the exact same way, and, of course, Tesla is a business.”“It turns out that Elon Musk’s political kryptonite was also becoming kryptonite for selling cars,” Enten added. As an ally to President Donald Trump, Musk has been heavily targeted by activists since Trump’s administration took office with protests here and abroad. And it has rattled the mogul, who issued a threat to those who he claimed threatened him personally during a virtual interview with Bloomberg’s Qatar Economic Forum. “We’re coming for you,” he said, pointing to the camera.Check out the CNN segment above.

Elon Musk has once again been trolled for video gaming skills, or lack thereof.
Musk, who recently claimed he was cutting back his time with DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) because his company, Tesla, is flopping due to his involvement in ruining people’s lives, decided to share another video of himself playing Diablo IV.
The billionaire is still desperate to prove that he is the ultimate gamer, but in the process, he only invited trolls to clown him once again. Musk’s skills came under scrutiny when he was accused by gamers, including the popular problematic streamer Asmongold, of paying someone to play Path of Exile 2 for him or “fraudmaxing.”
Being the petulant manchild he is, Musk unfollowed Asmongold, stripped him of his verified status, and shared the DMs they exchanged with each other.
Musk would eventually admit to cheating in both Diablo IV and Path of Exile 2, but his lame behavior hasn’t stopped. He shared another stream of himself playing Diablo IV on his X account, but this time he disabled his comments, only allowing his closest friends to reply to the post, because people were once again clowning his skills.
This latest moment also follows Musk’s “rage quitting” when trolls took over his comment section during a test of his Starling service on his private plane, which United Airlines allegedly wants to use on its fleet of commercial aircraft.
Elon Musk’s Gaming History
Musk takes his gaming very seriously; he is so into it that he had a gaming rig installed in his DOGE office to get in some gaming time between laying off hard-working Americans.
It doesn’t sound very efficient, if you ask us; in fact, that sounds like a complete waste of government time and money.
Well, we hope Musk continues to get trolled; he deserves every bit of it.

Phony Stark, aka Elon Musk, learned the hard way that it truly doesn’t pay to align yourself with Donald Trump and ruin people’s lives in the process.
Spotted on BBC, word on the street is Elon Musk has had enough of being involved in government because it’s tanking his bottom line. According to the website, Musk will “significantly” scale back his role in the US Government in response to Tesla’s profits sinking, a direct result of his dealings with Trump, and firing thousands of government workers as part of DOGE’s “cost-cutting” measures in an effort to cut government spending.
Per BBC:
Musk has led the newly created advisory body – the Department for Government Efficiency (Doge) – since last year, putting the world’s richest man at the heart of cutting US spending and jobs.
But Musk said his “time allocation to Doge” would “drop significantly” from next month, adding he would spend only one to two days per week on it after accusations he has taken his focus off Tesla.
His political involvement has sparked protests and boycotts of Tesla cars around the world.
Temporary government workers like Musk contracts are allowed to work only 130 days a year, and for those keeping count, since working from the day of Trump’s inauguration, his contract is set to expire.
It’s unclear whether Musk, who donated $250 million to Orange Mussolini’s campaign, will step down completely from his role at DOGE.
Social Media Vows To Not Let Up On Elon Musk
If Elon Musk thinks he can simply walk away as if nothing happened, social media is telling him to think again.
Users on X, formerly Twitter, are vowing to continue making life miserable for Musk due to his actions and the harm he has caused.
“Elon Musk says he is stepping back from DOGE in May, after having destroyed every government agency, the lives of 280,000 Federal workers, the support system for social security, not to mention thousands of lives overseas by the gutting of humanitarian aid. Don’t let the door hit you, dick,” one post on X read.
Another post read, “Boo hoo poor Elon, he really thinks he can just walk away after all the damage he did. The world won’t rest until everything around him crashes and he ends up the poorest man in the world. There will be no forgiveness. Musk should just flee back to South Africa.”
Welp, this is what you get, Elon Musk. Now deal with it.
