‘The gloves are off’: John Curley analyzes the Musk v. Trump social media feud

Elon Musk and President Donald Trump engaged in a social media feud on Thursday. Elon called out Trump over a bill involving tax credits and spending cuts.

“You got two guys that don’t give a rip about anything, because they’re some of the most powerful guys in the world,” John Curley, host of “The John Curley Show” on KIRO Newsradio, said. “They’re just letting loose. It is nuts.”

Musk vs. Trump social media battle

The battle over social media included Trump referring to Musk’s hatred for cutting the EV Mandate.

“Then it gets personal. Bad. I mean, then all of a sudden, the gloves come off, and Elon is getting really personal. ‘Trump would not have won without me,’ he also said, ‘Impeach Trump,'” Curley explained.

Musk then hinted at Trump’s potential ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Time to drop the really big bomb:@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.

Have a nice day, DJT!

“Probably the biggest bomb that went out, and he even described it as a big bomb, which was the reason the Epstein file has not been released completely, is because Trump is in it,” Curley said. “If Trump really was in there, they would have made that thing public, right? They would have been all over with that.”
