Elon Musk Crosses the Rubicon: 'Without Me, Trump Would Have Lost the Election'

Elon Musk crossed the Rubicon on Thursday afternoon. The ex-DOGE chief has not been shy about voicing his opposition to President Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill,” the would-be signature legislative achievement of the president’s second term. But until recently, he had not personally attacked Trump himself. That all changed on Thursday, when Musk fired off a few posts that are likely to turn the cold war between himself and the president hot.

Reacting to a clip of Trump asserting in the Oval Office that he “would have won Pennsylvania easily” without Musk and his support in the election, Musk wrote, “Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate.”

Musk was also set off by Trump arguing that Musk’s displeasure with the “Big, Beautiful Bill” stems from his support for electric vehicle mandates and subsidies, as well as his claim that Musk “knew every aspect of this bill.” “Whatever. Keep the EV/solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil & gas subsidies are touched (very unfair!!), but ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill,” said Musk in one post. “In the entire history of civilization, there has never been legislation that both big and beautiful. Everyone knows this! Either you get a big and ugly bill or a slim and beautiful bill. Slim and beautiful is the way.”

“False, this bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it!” shot back Musk in another. In another personal attack, Musk shared a post including screenshots of Trump railing against the national debt and Republicans for failing to curb it, and added the caption, “Where is this guy today??”

1. Caesar and Pompey.

Only, without, you know, the military experience and bravery.

One beheaded, one stabbed to death.

I like this outcome for Trump and Musk.

[Ponietz]

3. Similar outcomes for Hitler and Rohm

2. So what did the muskrat do to help him win the election

?????

How did he help him cheat???

[slightlv]

24. THIS is what we ALL should be demanding to know!

Perhaps more than a few of the protest signs of April 14th could speak to it...?

4. "Without me, Trump would have lost the election."

This will be fun to watch

16. One hopes that Musk gets pissed off enough

To spill all kinds of secrets of their illegal activities

25. You know, that's suppose to be an official, flattering picture of trump...

but look at him! He's old, he's wearing so much pancake makeup it's probably holding the skin to his bones! And you can't get much worse for bags around the eyes. He looks old and evil. It's like the ugliness of his soul is draping his entire face. It's a face only the devil, himself, could love. All trump needs is either red or black eyes/pupils.

5. The election was rigged.

[questionseverything]

7. It sounds like that's what he's saying

It’s oddly specific too

[slightlv]

26. With all those little musk satellites in the sky... how could you doubt it?

[kimbutgar]

8. Please muskrat take a nice dose of mushrooms and speak the Ruth how you rigged the election in tacos favor

Expose the truth and then fade away, I read somewhere that there is an organization examine the 2024 election and its irregularities. The musket knows what really happened.

[DENVERPOPS]

17. That statement by Musk

sounds clearly like a confession and cause for Dems to contact Greg Palast and Thom Hartman for ideas on what/when/where/how to start an investigation.......

[Zorro]

9. Trump threatens to cut government contracts and subsidies key to Musk's businesses as fallout spreads from their feud

That's a hot-off-the-press AP headline, no further details yet.

10. This is all according to plan IMO.

Both Elon and Trump know that there will be a Dem congress / administration at some point. Elon is just protecting his business and financial interests from any potential future Dem blowback.

[mahina]

23. crossed my mind too but

I do not believe that outing is Epstein connection or admitting that Trump would've lost without him is something Trump would agree to having announced.

So I think it's possible that it was planned by musk, but not by Trump. But that's pure speculation on my part.

27. I actually think it's a rock throwing fight between 2-year olds. It reeks of it.

[yliza]

11. Do tell. Please, explain it to us

Give us all the details so we can subpoena you when we have Congress again.

[BurnDoubt]

12. More than enough innuendo...

to birth an investigation. Let's get "The Jimmies" on this right away. They MIGHT FINALLY FIND SOMETHING!!!!! They've just been investigating the wrong Crime Family all this time.

[Aviation Pro]

13. Put up or shut up time, South African

Commit 25 billion to electing Democrats in 2026.

[sunnybrook]

15. It would be hilarious if he did this

Not for any principles but for revenge

[usonian]

14. Trump woulda won in a landslide without Musk.

[SSJVegeta]

18. Weird flex.

[Deminpenn]

19. When is the Steel cage match?

I'm sure Linda McMahon could arrange it. Winner gets to keep 100% of the PPV receipts.

[spinbaby]

20. He said what now?

Give the man some more ketamine. No tell what secrets fall out of his mouth.

[raccoon]

21. If that's true, thanks a lot, Motherfucker.

[Warpy]

22. Musk's money wasn't that important

Democrats just underestimated the power of misogyny again, and failed to deal with it appropriately, again, although what I saw of the ads lacked the syrupy piano music, at least. Trust me, that helped.

Maybe we could sell a woman candidate after King Fly Agaric Dick with "It's time to vote for a woman. We've been cleaning up after sloppy ,men for ten thousand years."

It would be funny, true, and non threatening to misogynist "traditionalists." We'd need to run a woman with the soul of a rabid wolverine who sees her purpose in office as going after the billionaires, their monopolies, and their corporations that should have been heavily regulated as public utilities decades ago.

Hey, I can dream, right?

[slightlv]

28. Your dream... my dream, too, warpy!

They keep trying to build this "warrior" culture today. Only they think only men have what it takes to be a warrior. Bah! Mother Bear with Cub ring a bell? I have an idea! Let's run an Amazon warrior! They can have one of the greatest warriors of all times and genders as president. Of course, I wouldn't put a dime on the reputation of men afterwards. But hea, after all this time, turn about is fair play. Let's interfere with their reproductive rights. Let's make it so they need a woman's permission to buy a car, buy a house, rent an apartment, or file for a divorce. Oooh... this *could* be fun, in a retributive type of way.
