Kanye West begs Elon Musk and Donald Trump to end bitter fallout
Elon Musk and Donald Trump are experiencing a bitter fallout that has escalated onto social media. The pair have been going back-and-forth since Musk announced he was leaving the Trump Administration, leading Musk to drop some wild allegations. Kanye West, who supports both Musk and Trump, isn’t happy about their feud.
Musk left his role as head of Doge in the White House over tax cuts and spending in the president’s new bill. Trump claimed Musk had no issue with his plan until he discovered there were plans to cut the electric vehicle mandate.
The Tesla owner accused Trump of lying to him and that he would have lost the election without his involvement. Trump claimed Musk “went crazy” after discovering his recent bill. Then, Musk made allegations about Trump relating to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files,” he said. “That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!”
Never one to be far away from the latest drama, Kanye weighed in on the situation on X, which Musk also owns. “Broooos please noooooo,” he wrote. “We love you both so much.”
Kanye is a known supporter of Trump‘s political views, and famously visited the Oval Office wearing a “Make America Great Again” cap years ago. As recent as last week, he told his followers, “Fuck anybody who don’t love Trump. You’re dumb.”
Trump once described Kanye as “complicated” during his appearance on Adin Ross’ stream. “He is a really nice guy, but he can get himself into trouble, and he can get some other people,” he said. “But he’s got a good heart.”
The rapper has also had an on-and-off friendship with Musk since visiting the SpaceX rocket factory in 2011. Musk previously praised Ye, stating, “The dude doesn’t believe in false modesty, and he shouldn’t. Kanye’s belief in himself and his incredible tenacity—he performed his first single with his jaw wired shut—got him to where he is today. And he fought for his place in the cultural pantheon with a purpose.”
