Well, the wait is over—Vice President JD Vance has officially weighed in on the Trump vs. Musk feud, and let’s just say, he’s not mincing words. After a few days of watching Elon Musk spiral into a social media meltdown, Vance finally broke his silence during a podcast interview with comedian Theo Von. And what did he have to say about Musk’s anti-Trump tirade? In short: “huge mistake.”
That’s right. Vance didn’t dance around it. When Theo Von brought up Musk’s Twitter (sorry—“X”) rampage, which included wild accusations about Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, Vance acknowledged what most rational people were already thinking. Elon lost his cool, went nuclear, and now he’s burning bridges faster than a SpaceX rocket launch gone wrong.
“I hope that eventually Elon comes back into the fold,” Vance said, trying to offer a sliver of optimism. “Maybe that’s not possible now because he’s gone so nuclear.” That’s a pretty polite way of saying, “This guy just lost his mind.”
Just a few months ago, Musk and President Trump were tight—talking policy, sharing stages, and even floating ideas about tech and infrastructure. But now? Musk is posting eyebrow emojis, Epstein videos, and even talking impeachment. Over what? Because he doesn’t like Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill that’s slashing taxes, rebuilding American industry, and (God forbid) cutting Elon’s precious EV subsidies?
KSAT reports that the final straw was Trump calling Musk “CRAZY” and saying he was “wearing thin.” Trump even threatened to re-evaluate Musk’s government contracts. And that’s when Elon went full scorched-earth, slamming Trump’s policies and making accusations without a shred of evidence.
But Vance isn’t buying into the drama. He chalked up Musk’s behavior to emotion. “He’s an emotional guy who got frustrated,” Vance said, even admitting he’s “flown off the handle way worse” in the past. Maybe, but let’s be clear: accusing a sitting president of being part of a sex trafficking cover-up isn’t just an emotional outburst. That’s defamation territory, and Vance knows it.
Bottom line? JD Vance made it clear that while he’s open to reconciliation, Elon crossed a major line. You don’t smear President Trump with baseless garbage and expect a warm welcome back. If Musk wants to return to the conservative fold, he’s got a long way to go—and a whole lot of groveling to do.
