A feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk exploded into public view again, as the US president took to Truth Social to attack the billionaire entrepreneur, telling him to “head back home to South Africa” and accusing him of surviving on government handouts. The outburst followed a string of fiery posts by Musk on X (formerly Twitter), in which he condemned Trump’s sweeping tax and spending bill, known among critics as the "big beautiful bill." Musk, who has clashed with Trump in recent weeks, accused politicians who backed the legislation of hypocrisy and pledged to help unseat them. “Those who...

President Trump’s feud with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) is showing no signs of abating as the president seeks to oust the GOP congressman for his history of regularly breaking with the administration. Massie recently opposed the administration by denouncing its strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and refusing to support the president’s legislative agenda, leading Trump’s political operation to launch a targeted campaign against Massie. On Friday, a Trump-aligned super PAC, led by the president’s co-campaign manager Chris LaCivita, rolled out its first ad as part of a $1 million ad buy targeting Massie. The 30-second ad — titled “What happened...

Former White House aide and commentator Steve Bannon ripped into Fox News host Mark Levin this week as the two continue to trade barbs over the U.S. military’s involvement in the war between Israel and Iran. “Boy, Tel Aviv Levin’s big mad,” Bannon said during an episode of his popular “War Room” podcast. “He’s big mad as a spokesmodel for a foreign nation that didn’t get them what they want.” The MAGA firebrand was referring to a social media post by Levin earlier this week that called Bannon “a disgusting fraud” over his time serving as a top aide to...

There’s a war brewing on the right, and this one isn’t in the desert; it’s on the airwaves and social media. On one side is Steve Bannon, a populist voice leading the America First base. On the other side is Mark Levin, beating the war drums like a man possessed, lashing out at anyone who dares suggest we stay out of another endless Middle East bloodfest. Watch: MANY VIDEO CLIPS AT LINK.................... Levin’s been beating the war drum since the moment this conflict hit the radar. Mark Levin: TIME IS NOT ON OUR SIDE Iran yet again dragging its feet,...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling on Fox News to fire Mark Levin over an “extremely sick and disturbing” post about her on X. The two conservative stars have been locked in battle this week over U.S. involvement in the conflict between Israel and Iran. In an interview on OAN’s The Matt Gaetz Show over the weekend, Greene said, “I can’t believe that Fox News allows one of their hosts to go around and call me names on his social media. That is so unprofessional and it really speaks to what kind of media company Fox News is.” Greene continued,...

The #NeverTrump movement just got another backer. Conservative radio host Mark Levin threatened on Friday that he will not support Donald Trump in the general election, should he be the nominee. Levin, a strong supporter of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, said that Trump’s allies had made the billionaire Republican front-runner toxic. …“If they piss me off one more time, I’m going to urge millions and millions of you, should he get the nomination, not to vote for him either,” he said.

Steve Bannon, a disgusting fraud. Nobody gives a sh*t about what you, Bannon, a confessed and convicted fraudster has to say. You’re a liar. You cheated how many people? At bottom, you’re a certified disgusting fraud. And it shows every time you open your big mouth. You opposed our great military and commander in chief at a time when they acted to destroy Iran’s nukes. 80% of Americans backed the operation. You and your tiny cabal of lunatics gave aide and comfort to the enemy. Now you prance around like you support our country rather than apologize for your outrageous...

Where is Tulsi Gabbard? The country’s Director of National Intelligence has been glaringly absent as the biggest national security story in years continues to develop. In both the lead-up to and the aftermath of President Trump’s decision to strike Iran’s nuclear sites, Gabbard has barely been seen, or heard. It’s a strange time for the chief of the US intelligence community to go silent, leading to a growing number of questions that Americans – particularly MAGA Americans – would like answered. It’s Gabbard’s now-infamous testimony to Congress in March – and a video posted to social media earlier this month...

"If the current Iranian regime is unable to make Iran great again, why wouldn't there be regime change?"

"Scott said, 'You're a fraud. You're a total fraud," Bannon said in an interview. Musk then rammed his shoulder into Bessent's rib cage "like a rugby player," Bannon said, and Bessent hit him back. Multiple people stepped in to break up the scrum as the two men reached the national security adviser's office, and Musk was shuffled out of the West Wing. "President Trump heard about it and said, 'This is too much,"" Bannon said.

Elon Musk posted a poll on X on Thursday asking followers whether they support the idea of a new political party to take on the Republicans and Democrats. Why it matters: The richest man in the world is publicly feuding with the most powerful man in America, whom he spent record-setting sums to elect. We're about to find out what Musk is prepared to do about it. Driving the news: Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday that he was "disappointed in Elon" for coming out against his "Big Beautiful Bill." Trump speculated it was because the bill...

The speaker is mounting a multi-front rebuttal to the billionaire’s criticism — and trying to keep the backlash contained.Mike Johnson has spent his 19 months as speaker forging a close relationship with President Donald Trump — in part to avoid the social-media bombshells that derailed so many Republican priorities during Trump’s first term.Now he has to deal with another, perhaps even more unpredictable online bomb-thrower.Elon Musk’s decision to launch a sudden scorched-earth campaign against the GOP’s domestic-policy megabill has forced Johnson into a sudden scramble to save the centerpiece of the Republican legislative agenda.Starting in the moments Tuesday after Musk...

Let me get this straight:Democrats tried to put Trump in prison for 700 years, take his business empire from him, impeach him twice, take him off the ballot, and censor him on all social media - all the while they were sitting on info that Trump was on the Epstein list? This is total and complete nonsense.

In politics, they say you want your people all peeing out of the tent rather than into it. In this context, there is a case to be made for assigning Elon Musk a new task to keep his mind off the budget and keep him focused and on point. Here is the assignment. Give him a contract to develop the desalination technology that will increase the habitable size of the USA by one-third and double the habitable size of the Earth. This can be achieved by collapsing the cost of desalinating seawater to roughly $ 200 per acre-foot. (That would...

Firefighters were called to the scene after several eyewitnesses claimed to have seen President Trump setting fire to a local Tesla dealership this morning. The event seems to coincide with a bitter public falling out between Trump and Musk over a spending bill currently moving through Congress. "I thought we were friends, Elon! What happened to us?" President Trump reportedly cried as he lobbed a Molotov cocktail into the windshield of a 2025 Tesla Model 3. "I never liked Teslas. I always thought they were 3rd-rate cars anyway. And everything in them is computer, and I hate computers. Many people...

It was always going to be thus. However, some who do not carry the mental fortitude to withstand the TRUTH, will proclaim they are witnessing some pre-scripted game of chess or something, where the Trump -v- Musk battle is coordinated. It is not.President Trump delivers some further consideration about Elon Musk from his perspective.Musk responds by accusing President Trump of being in the “Epstein files” and later calls for his impeachment and replacement with JD Vance.If you are a long(ish) time reader of CTH, what we are witnessing is exactly what we said we would see unfold. And it is...

The open acrimony between the two men comes after the billionaire denounced President Trump’s signature domestic policy bill as an “abomination.” President Trump and Elon Musk’s alliance dissolved into open acrimony on Thursday, as the two men hurled personal attacks at each other after the billionaire had unleashed broadsides against the president’s signature domestic policy bill. While meeting with Friedrich Merz, Germany’s new chancellor, in the Oval Office, Mr. Trump broke days of uncharacteristic silence and unloaded on Mr. Musk, who until last week was a top presidential adviser. “I’m very disappointed in Elon,” Mr. Trump said. “I’ve helped Elon...

Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer It’s heating up. Will be interesting to see what Republican lawmakers do now. I know law makers who are asking if they should side with President Trump or Elon. I’ve been on the hill all day and it’s all anyone is talking about. The most powerful man in the world vs the richest man in the world. 12:30 PM · Jun 5, 2025

Elon was “wearing thin,” I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY! 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!

President Donald Trump on Thursday lashed out at Elon Musk as their feud rapidly ramped up, calling him “CRAZY” and suggesting that he may terminate the Tesla CEO’s government contracts. Trump in a bitter Truth Social post wrote that Musk was “wearing thin” by the end of his tenure leading the president’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. “I asked him to leave,” Trump claimed. The angry swipe came after Musk blasted the president amid an escalating clash that stemmed from the mega-billionaire’s vocal opposition to Trump’s massive tax-cut bill. Trump earlier Thursday said Musk was “upset” that the budget...
