Elon Musk responded to Donald Trump's recent criticism by saying it was time for the former president to "hang up his hat & sail into the sunset."
Musk commented via Twitter after sharing a story about Trump on Saturday night calling the Tesla and SpaceX CEO a "bullsh*t artist."
"I don't hate the man, but it's time for Trump to hang up his hat & sail into the sunset," Musk tweeted Monday night. "Dems should also call off the attack – don't make it so that Trump’s only way to survive is to regain the Presidency."
Musk's tweet came after Trump's appearance at a rally in Alaska, where the former president suggested the billionaire's move to buy Twitter was a ruse. Trump also called Musk a liar for saying he had never voted for a Republican.
After Musk’s "sunset" tweet, talk show host Joe Pags Pagliarulo asked the billionaire whether he had an issue with Trump's presidency, pointing out policies regarding energy independence, lower regulations, construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline, and a the southern border.
"Yeah, but too much drama. Do we really want a bull in a china shop situation every single day!?" Musk tweeted. "Also, I think the legal maximum age for start of Presidential term should be 69."
Another Twitter follower asked Musk why he wouldn't support a 2024 GOP national ticket with Trump at the top and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as the vice president nominee. DeSantis then could run in ’28 and ’32.
"Trump would be 82 at end of term, which is too old to be chief executive of anything, let alone the United States of America," Musk tweeted in response.
"If DeSantis runs against Biden in 2024, then DeSantis will easily win – he doesn’t even need to campaign."

First the pullback of the Twitter buyout, now this about Trump.
The bloom is really off the rose with Musk.
Did Trump call Musk a liar?
That is SO not like him. Trump only attacks someone when they attack him first.
Elon is a really nice IDIOT-SAVANT. There is no cure for that.
EVERY Biden warning has come true.
We told you so just doesn’t do it...
THE MEDIA is trying to make it a Trump-vs-Musk war.
DON’T HELP THEM
Elon can stuff his glorified golf carts up his arse.
Well at least Trump said he was GOOD at lying. It’s almost a compliment say he’s a bullish!t artist .
Note to Musk: you have no standing. We ain’t listening. Trump doesn’t care. Go play with your expensive toys and STFU.
Elon is a female heartthrob. I am so tired of his BS.
The whole world is pretty much going to hell. And here we have two bright guys sniping at each other like kids in a schoolyard.
Knock it off, Donald. And knock it off, Elon. Stop with the distractions and focus on what’s really important.
I was going to say something....but you said it so well.
Clash of the titanic egos.
Well said. Made my post irrelevant and saved me time. Thanks!
It wasn’t Trump’s fault that the media was obsessed with destroying his Presidency.
foreplay...
trump/musk revenge tour 2024...
our turn to nominate an ineligible african-american...
Or intelligence!
“don’t make it so that Trump’s only way to survive is to regain the Presidency”
This is a very Trumpian comment.
ALWAYS give your adversary in a negotiation a way out, to save face.
Musk is one smahhhht cookie.
But it’s for our PDJT The GOAT to decide.
It’s his if he wants it.
If not, then and only then, 100% behind DeSantis.
We still need to hold Florida. Who’s next? Crackhead Gillum almost stole it last time. And the long knives will be out for ANY Pub/Cons/MAGA candidate.
Roll MAGA, roll!
As much as I like The Donald and would support his nomination, Ron DeSantis would be the better pick. He’s younger, handles himself better in front of the camera and has a lot less historical baggage to drag along.
