From Daily Mail: Vice President JD Vance revealed behind-the-scenes details of Elon Musk’s blow-up on social media on Friday and President Donald Trump’s reaction.
Vance spoke about the incident in a podcast interview with comedian Theo Von that was recorded on Thursday as the fight between the pair of billionaires escalated.
The vice president found himself reacting in real time to some of Musk’s posts on X during the interview, including an awkward post where Musk endorsed the idea of impeaching President Trump and installing Vance as president.
“I just think the idea that the president should be impeached, I’m sorry, it’s insane. It’s totally insane,” Vance said.
Vance found Musk’s flurry of attacks “not helpful,” but defended the Tesla founder’s First Amendment right to disagree. The way he went about it was a “mistake,” Vance said.
Vance also answered Musk’s allegation that Trump is “in the Epstein files.”
“Absolutely not. Donald Trump didn’t do anything wrong with Jeffrey Epstein. Like, there’s the guy is whatever the Democrats and the media says about him, that’s totally BS,” Vance said.
Vance went on to reveal how Trump was feeling about Musk leading up to the fallout.
“I know the president, for a couple of days, I’ll tell you, I don’t want to reveal too many confidences, but he was getting a little frustrated, feeling like some of the criticisms were unfair coming from Elon,” he said.
As to Trump’s response, Vance said, “I think it’s been very restrained because the president doesn’t think that he needs to be in a blood feud with Elon Musk. I actually think if Elon chilled out a little bit, everything would be fine.”
