LOL yes let's impeach him again. We are stuck with this Orange Turd. Republicans have given us this turd and we can't flush him for 4 years.
Bold of you to assume we can get rid of him democratically.
I think they are implying the opposite
I believe he is referring to the "4 years" part. Trump is not leaving this time even if he loses

I hate to be a Debby Downer, but the headline is a bit sensationalist. This is how Elon "called for Donald Trump to be impeached":
That's it. He wrote "Yes".
I don't think that's sensationalist at all. It's a pretty direct and clear call for impeachment.
But I'd rather talk about that original Tweet. Obviously, Trump being impeached (and convicted by the Senate) would result in Vance replacing him; that's how it works. But the choice to specifically highlight the Vance part of it implies not just a desire for Trump to be gone, but for Vance specifically to be in. Which is wild. I can't imagine any human on earth actually being pro-Vance. There's the sane people, who oppose the entire administration, and there's the Magats who are rabidly pro-Trump. Who exactly supports Trump's diet lacky?
Vance represents the tech bro "libertatian" wing with Thiel and those ghouls. Musk fits right in.
Vance was placed there with the objective to replace Trump eventually. These guys don't need Trump any more, but like the industrials underestimated Hitler when they put him into power, Thiel and co are probably underestimating Trump's shrewdness. He will burn everything down before he'll be put out of power.

But that doesn't bring in the clicks. And really, that's all we care about, right?

I think they're both right. The government should cut all ties with Musk's businesses, and Trump should be impeached. That way everybody wins.
It hurts to agree with them doesn't it? Yet, it's so funny to watch them bite at each other.

Everyone that works with Trump always regrets it eventually. Everyone.
... I was not expecting this many people to (so strongly) take sides in what is basically a kerfuffle between two mega villains.
(Og) Nazis had a lot of infighting too, still fascist mass murderers.

Elon's going to lose this fight. All the other rich people backing Trump still think the snake won't bite them, and Elon doesn't have the same cult of personality Trump does. He had some good will for a while, but he's been burning that ever since the weird pedo guy thing, and that's nowhere near Trump's fucking cult energy. Forty years from now there's still going to be dumbasses and edgy teens talking about how they heard a rumor that Trump is still alive out there in the wastes that used to be middle America.
Elon doesn't have the same cult of personality Trump does
He used to, but then he started associating with Trump.
It seems he wasn't aware that his cult following came from the other end of the political spectrum.
Well, not quite the other end, but environmentally inclined business friendly liberals are still not quite Trump's crowd.
He really used to - remember all the iron man shit? The image of the benevolent billionaire who was going to open up space? I'm ashamed to admit I was tempted to believe too.
He lost the positive public image before he started associating with trump tho. I think what happened was he fired his PR team because he thought he could do better himself. Right around the time he got pissy and was calling that cave diver a pedo, the guy who saved a bunch of kids in Thailand. It was all downhill from there and I don't remember ever seeing anyone piss away so much public goodwill so quickly.

Wow they are arguably the most powerful people in the world and they are having a public squawky slappy fight like stroppy toddlers.
Meanwhile humanity is circling the drain. We are so fucked.
Fortunately, America has an affinity for reality TV, and so they're distracted from whatever else this is a distraction for. I just have a part of me that can't believe what's happening.

It was inevitable. Two egos as big as theirs cannot coexist in close proximity indefinitely.
I was a psychologist until I got burned out.
During those years, I observed something countless times that seems counter-intuitive but is in my anecdotal experience reliably true:
Narcissists tend to actually like each other, and seem to bond effortlessly. "you're the best thing ever? Holy shit, I'm the best thing ever! We're so amazing it's awesome!" type thing. It's fascinating.
That's why I'm not going to be played by this. Elon and Donald both have something significant to gain by pretending to "break up with" Each other, Elon trying to detoxify his brand especially internationally and Donald by proving he isn't Elon's bitchboy.
They might be legitimately warring in public, they might be playing the media and the people, there's really no way for outside parties to know at this time, and I wish people would pay more attention to the people Trump is hurting than this ultimately pointless real or not catfight. Invoking Epstein is low hanging fruit, as anyone who isn't in Trump's cult and paying any attention has been aware Trump is an Epstein pedo for years and years.

There is no denying it any more, the US is a very corrupt country
Everything is about money here and I hate it so much. But I can't find an exit.

Yes… and gets picked up by ICE and sent to El Salvador instead of Africa.

Can't wait to hear the Alex Jones mental gymnastics lol
But they did impeach him, Leon. Multiple times. The trouble is he just ignores it.
He ignores it because 95% of Republicans don't care about crimes, just the party.

Now would be an optimal time for Putin to off one or both. Maximum chaos.
Buyer's Remorse
Never could have seen this coming… two narcissists that only get along as long as they’re powdering each others butts.
Hahaha love it!
Musk needs to put his money where his mouth is, otherwise this is just a long-con IMO.

At this point Trump running interference and cockblocking Thiel and his billionare creeper squad from re-enacting the Business plot would be the best ( and funniest ) result.

"[They] detested each other. Which makes sense, because they were both detestable."
Gen. Sir Harry Padgett Flashman, VC
JD Vance is VERY silent right now, so I'm thinking this could all just be fake, and that the tech bros (led by Peter Thiel) are using all this drama to get JD Vance into the Oval Office. I don't think this is a legit fight...I think this is all part of their long term plan.

He's trying to distance himself because his company is burning and is using the media. Musk's playbook is to attention and boost himself like posting about dogecoin. Musk is using the media, but his Nazi views hasn't changed.
better , if you primary every republican supporting trump, to stick it to him.
