AOC on Musk and Trump:

"the girls are fighting aren't they ">AOC: watching the chaos, eyes on the prize

While the Trump-Musk mutual destruction continues, AOC remains laser-focused on what matters: how this billionaire cage match might screw up legislation.

In a town full of performative outrage and endless ego trips, AOC’s mix of sass and seriousness reminds us who’s doing their job. And as she said it best: the girls are fighting. But some of us are still governing.

Trump said a lot without saying much.]]> <![CDATA[

Donald Trump wants you to know that Elon Musk’s “got a problem”—and he might not just be talking about a bruised ego or collapsing Tesla sales.

With recent headlines swirling about Musk’s alleged drug use, Trump is seizing the moment to twist the knife in their increasingly public feud.

Trump wishes Elon “well’ z642h

@cnn

In a phone call with CNN’s Dana Bash, President Donald Trump said he is “not even thinking about” billionaire Elon Musk and won’t be speaking to him in the near future. The comments come a day after Trump and Musk traded barbs on social media as their relationship deteriorated in spectacular public fashion. #cnn #news #trump #elon #musk

♬ original sound – CNN – CNN

During a recent CNN segment, anchor Dana Bash revealed that Trump threw shade with his usual backhanded flair: “I’m not even thinking about Elon. He’s got a problem. The poor guy’s got a problem.” Bash added that Trump said he wouldn’t be talking to Musk “for a while,” but of course wished him well, as if saying “bless his heart” before lighting someone on fire.

This comes amid renewed attention to Musk’s reported behavior, including a New York Times investigation that suggested executives at Tesla and SpaceX were concerned about Musk’s alleged use of ketamine, LSD, and other substances.

While Musk hasn’t publicly denied using ketamine, he’s itted to it in the past for depression, the Times noted growing unease about the billionaire’s erratic management style and potential risk to corporate stability. So when Trump says the guy has “a problem,” it’s not exactly subtle. It’s more like a wink-nudge punch to the face.

Trump and Musk: a messy situationship 1b1o6l

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 5, 2025

Once upon a time, these two billionaires played nice—at least when cameras were rolling. Musk once served on Trump’s business advisory councils during the early days of the istration, only to resign in 2017 after Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Accord.

Fast forward to 2024, and Musk wasn’t just back in Trump’s orbit—he was front and center, endorsing Trump’s presidential bid, actively campaigning on his behalf, and even taking the reins on an avisory level of DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), a libertarian-flavored side project designed to overhaul bloated bureaucracy and meme the federal government into shape.

But just as quickly as he got involved, Musk blew it all up. In a dramatic and abrupt resignation, Musk ditched the Trump campaign without warning, then fired off a series of unhinged posts on X. Among the accusations? That Trump is named in the Epstein files—a nuclear-level allegation Musk broadcast to his 180 million followers with zero context and even less restraint.

This wasn’t just a falling-out—it was a flameout. And it marked a new low in what’s become a spectacularly petty, ego-fueled rivalry. Trump, never one to let a grudge fade quietly, responded by throwing a mix of shade and not-so-veiled threats.

His latest jab—telling CNN he’s not interested in reconciling and calling Musk “a poor guy” who’s “got a problem”—is less a brush-off and more a warning shot. One that strongly hints that Trump believes he’s got dirt on Elon—and isn’t afraid to let it surface

Is Trump playing coy while throwing punches? 706z44

As far as Trump’s comments to CNN, according to Bash, Trump didn’t seem too worried about Musk, but she noted the timing of the “problem’ statement was significant.

“The blast radius from this fallout is really, really big, and very wide,” Bash warned. Meanwhile, co-anchor John Berman offered a blunt interpretation: “He’s telling you, ‘I don’t want to talk to him right now,’ and then he also threw that elbow… So, you know, if Elon Musk is waking up this morning, he might view that, I imagine, as a new insult.”

The New York Times report on Musk’s alleged drug use didn’t mince words. Executives expressed concerns about his judgment, particularly at SpaceX, which holds multibillion-dollar contracts with NASA and the U.S. military. Musk reportedly uses ketamine for depression and may engage in recreational use as well.

And in classic Musk fashion, he hasn’t exactly denied it—he’s leaned in, tweeting memes and defending psychedelic drugs as treatment alternatives. But for Trump, who’s always been teetotal and fond of spotlighting opponents’ perceived weaknesses, this storyline is pure gold.

Politics, power, and petty billionaire drama 423449

This isn’t just a petty squabble—it’s a potential power struggle ahead of 2024. Trump is running for president again. Musk controls X, and his influence on political discourse is real, even if his reputation is in flux.

As the feud escalates, it’s splitting their shared fanbase: hardcore MAGA loyalists now view Musk as a flaky, drug-fueled liability, while Musk’s libertarian defenders paint Trump as an outdated, paranoid blowhard.

One thing’s clear: Trump isn’t just mad. He’s making sure the world knows why Musk might be spiraling. And in Trump-speak, “the poor guy’s got a problem” might as well mean, “I know something you don’t.”

Musk's ex has some tips for the president.]]> <![CDATA[

The sudden public disagreement between Elon Musk and Donald Trump has taken a surprising turn, with Musk’s former partner, Ashley St. Clair, giving breakup advice to the former president. She made this offer in a social media post on X as the argument between Musk and Trump grew more intense. This marks a major change in what was once seen as a strong alliance between the two men.

The public clash started over Trump’s proposed budget bill, which Musk strongly criticized. Musk also claimed that without his help during the 2024 election campaign, Trump would have lost. This statement, along with Musk accusing Trump of being ungrateful, made their already tense relationship worse. Musk also made a serious accusation in a now-deleted tweet, suggesting Trump’s name appears in the unreleased Jeffrey Epstein files.

St. Clair’s offer of breakup advice to Trump comes during this heated situation, as reported by Page Six. Her post on X can be seen as a response to the very public Musk-Trump feud and possibly a quiet remark on how quickly their relationship has changed. The fact that she posted this during the peak of their dispute is significant.

Donald Trump gets advice offer from Elon Musk’s ex v6q1o

This claim, referring to the convicted sex offender, added even more fuel to the conflict. While Trump’s past connection to Epstein has been reported before, Trump has said that any association ended long before Epstein’s death.

Adding another twist to this ongoing drama is the involvement of St. Clair, who has a son, Romulus St. Clair, with Musk. Their relationship has included major financial discussions. In April, St. Clair revealed that Musk offered her a one-time payment of $15 million, plus a monthly payment of $100,000 until their son turns 21, in exchange for her silence about their child’s paternity.

hey @realDonaldTrump lmk if u need any breakup advice

— Ashley St. Clair (@stclairashley) June 5, 2025

Ashley St. Clair refused the offer, saying she did not want their son to feel hidden. This rejection shows the complicated personal dynamics at play and suggests there may be deeper issues than what has been shared publicly.

Looking at the bigger picture, this situation shows a major shift in how people viewed Musk and Trump’s relationship. Once seen as allies, their interactions have now turned hostile. Even MAGA is angry by the turn of events, and this advice situation is just one event in a snowball that has been rolling.

A billionaire's feud ignites an unexpected offer of political asylum. ]]> <![CDATA[

A surprising offer of political asylum from a Russian official has appeared during the growing public fight between Elon Musk and Donald Trump. The conflict, which started because of disagreements over how Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” affects the US public debt, has quickly turned into a bitter and highly visible argument across social media and traditional news. This sudden breakdown in their relationship has left Musk, who once seemed like a political er of Trump, in a vulnerable position and has created an unexpected opportunity for Russia to get involved.

According to Newsweek, Dmitry Novikov, a well-known Russian official, suggested that Russia would be willing to give Musk political asylum if he ever needed it. While Novikov said it was unlikely Musk would require such protection, the offer itself is important. The asylum offer should be seen in the wider context of US-Russia relations, which are already tense because of the war in Ukraine and other global conflicts.

Russia’s move could be seen as a deliberate attempt to take advantage of the division in American politics, possibly to weaken the US both at home and abroad. By offering safety to a famous American figure, Russia might be trying to present itself as a more stable and welcoming place compared to the US, which appears divided and unstable.

Russia wants Musk now that he’s fighting with Trump 3k5vi

Several factors may have led to Novikov’s statement. The public nature of the Musk-Trump fight likely played a part, giving Russia a chance to insert itself into a high-profile American political drama. Additionally, Musk’s business interests and technological skills make him a valuable person, and having him in Russia could bring major economic and technological benefits.

His knowledge of space exploration and electric vehicle technology could help Russia’s own goals in these areas. This is especially true since the stock is falling.

For Musk, the asylum offer creates a difficult situation. While he probably won’t need it right now, it represents a major change in his relationship with the US and might signal the end of his earlier political for the Trump istration. Accepting asylum would mean giving up his American citizenship and facing serious legal and personal consequences. However, rejecting the offer doesn’t change the fact that Russia is sending a message about Musk’s increasingly uncertain position in the US.

The impact of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” on this situation is huge. The law, meant to deal with the US public debt, seems to be at the center of the Musk-Trump dispute. Their different opinions on whether it works and what it means may have made existing tensions worse, leading to the growing conflict and eventually opening the door for Russia to get involved.

Perfect timing, as always.]]> <![CDATA[

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s latest fundraising effort centered around DOGE has unexpectedly intersected with an escalating conflict between former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. The timing of the fundraising message has drawn attention from Republican circles, particularly among MAGA ers who interpreted it as DeSantis taking sides in the dispute.

According to Politico, the fundraising pitch, sent through text and email by DeSantis’s political committee, called for ers to “help elect real conservatives who will finish the job” of the Department of Government Efficiency efforts. The message was distributed just as Trump and Musk engaged in a heated exchange over the One Big Beautiful Bill Act on social media.

The committee’s message specifically highlighted how Musk “stood tall and took the hits,” a statement that gained additional significance amid the deteriorating relationship between Trump and the Tesla CEO. However, Taryn Fenske, spokesperson for DeSantis’s political operation, clarified that the fundraising language had been approved on May 29, before the current dispute erupted.

Relations between DeSantis, Trump, and Musk become increasingly complex 222a51

The situation has highlighted the delicate balance DeSantis must maintain in his relationships with both Trump and Musk. The Florida governor, who launched his 2024 presidential campaign with Musk’s on X Spaces, has been working to repair his relationship with Trump following their competition for the Republican presidential nomination.

Yeah except you got the sequence of events wrong.

Trump’s 2016 Presidential run is what kicked off this chain of events that led to the creation of Doge.

Without Trump there wouldn’t be a governor Desantis. Without Trumo there wouldn’t be DOGE.

— JDW (@JDW604) June 6, 2025

DeSantis has demonstrated his alignment with DOGE initiatives, proudly noting that Florida was “DOGE before DOGE was cool” and highlighting the state’s return of federal dollars in February. He has also been vocal about his frustrations with Congress’s lack of progress on DOGE cuts, expressing disappointment that “not one cent in DOGE cuts have been implemented by the Congress” despite Republican control.

The timing of the fundraising message has raised concerns among Republican donors, with some worried that the DOGE-focused fundraising could “piss off Trump.” This comes at a particularly sensitive time as the feud between Trump and Musk has escalated to include discussions about government subsidies and references to Jeffrey Epstein’s investigation files.

The situation reflects broader challenges within the Republican party, as noted by a GOP operative who spoke anonymously, describing both Musk and DeSantis as having “checkered national reputations among MAGA base.” The operative also pointed to their recent campaign failures, with Musk in Wisconsin and DeSantis in the GOP primary, suggesting difficulties in forming a traditionally conservative populist coalition.

The fundraising effort also signals DeSantis’s potential involvement in the 2026 primary and general elections, with his political committee, Restore Our Nation, being repurposed following his unsuccessful presidential campaign. Despite his proven fundraising abilities, DeSantis’s political future remains uncertain amid Republican strife in Florida and an abundance of Trump-aligned candidates for 2028.

Harvard 1, Trump 0.]]> <![CDATA[

A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order blocking President Donald Trump’s recent attempt to prevent international students from entering the United States or obtaining visas to attend Harvard University. The order came just hours after Harvard expanded its existing lawsuit against an earlier Trump istration move regarding foreign students.

According to Politico, U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs ruled that Harvard would face immediate and irreparable harm if Trump’s Wednesday proclamation were allowed to proceed. The proclamation had authorized the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department to effectively ban foreign nationals from studying or teaching at Harvard.

“Harvard is refusing to provide the federal government with information about crimes and misconduct committed by its foreign students,” Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Chief of Staff Chad Mizelle wrote on X.. “This is a threat to national security, and we will vigorously defend @POTUS’s proclamation.”

Harvard claims Trump’s actions are retaliatory and unconstitutional k3r3q

Harvard’s legal team has argued that Trump’s actions are not aimed at protecting U.S. interests but rather represent a “government vendetta” against the university. The school’s amended lawsuit points to recent presidential statements on social media and in the Oval Office as evidence of unconstitutional retaliation for Harvard’s decision to challenge his istration in court.

Trump loses in court—again—and his followers scream “remove rogue judges!” That’s not law and order, it’s fascism with a flag.

— Fatima Khan (@Fatima_Khatun01) June 6, 2025

The dispute between Harvard and the Trump istration has primarily centered on the university’s handling of campus antisemitism. While the istration claims Harvard has failed to protect Jewish students from harassment, the university contends that the istration’s demands go beyond addressing antisemitism and seek to control the institution’s governance, curriculum, and ideological direction.

The impact of Trump’s proclamation, though temporarily blocked, would have been significant for Harvard’s international student community, which comprises approximately 27 percent of total enrollment. More than 6,700 international students were enrolled at the university as of fall 2024. While the order did not immediately revoke existing student visas, it threatened to prevent new foreign students and faculty from entering the U.S. for the fall semester.

The Justice Department has indicated it will continue to challenge Harvard’s legal efforts to overturn Trump’s directive. This comes as the State Department recently announced enhanced vetting procedures for foreign students seeking to attend Harvard, despite the court’s initial restraining order. Harvard’s lawyers note that this increased scrutiny is part of what they describe as an “unprecedented, government-wide campaign” against the university.

All according to plan. ]]> <![CDATA[

Signs of a potential truce are emerging in the escalating conflict between former President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, as White House officials work to ease tensions between the two influential figures. The dispute centers around legislation currently in the Senate that encomes Trump’s presidential agenda, including tax cuts and immigration enforcement.

The clash between the two billionaires has grown increasingly bitter on social media platforms, prompting White House aides and allies to intervene. In response to the situation, officials have scheduled a Friday call with Musk in an attempt to broker peace between the two parties.

When asked about the public falling out with his former er during a brief telephone interview with Politico, Trump maintained a casual demeanor, stating, “Oh, it’s okay. It’s going very well, never done better.” He proceeded to highlight his favorable polling numbers before concluding the conversation.

White House takes steps to defuse tension as bill hangs in the balance r3j2j

Behind the scenes, White House aides have been working to persuade Trump to moderate his public criticism of Musk, fearing further escalation could jeopardize the legislation’s progress. The bill, which Trump refers to as his “big beautiful bill,” is projected to add $2.4 trillion to the deficit, a point of contention for Musk.

The intervention of prominent figures such as hedge fund manager Bill Ackman demonstrates the high stakes involved. Ackman took to X (formerly Twitter) to encourage reconciliation between the two, writing, “I @realDonaldTrump and @elonmusk and they should make peace for the benefit of our great country.” Musk’s response, “You’re not wrong,” suggested an openness to de-escalation.

Following guidance from White House aides to focus on the legislation rather than the personal conflict, Trump’s social media presence showed signs of restraint. On his Truth Social platform, he wrote, “I don’t mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago,” before shifting attention to the bill’s merits and concluding with his signature “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

The White House strategy appears to be working on two fronts: maintaining focus on ing the significant legislation through the Senate while simultaneously attempting to repair the relationship with Musk, who had previously been a notable er of Trump. The success of these efforts could prove crucial for the istration’s legislative agenda moving forward.

The enemy of my enemy.]]> <![CDATA[

The growing tension between former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk has finally reached its breaking point. The schism has forced several key Republican figures to carefully consider their allegiances as they navigate the political landscape.

According to Politico, the conflict has particularly highlighted Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s position, who, despite his previous rivalry with Trump during the 2024 presidential campaign, had maintained public for the former president after dropping out of the race.

In a recent fundraising email from one of DeSantis’s political committees, the governor explicitly sided with Musk, stating that “Elon Musk stood tall and took the hits to lead the fight on DOGE, cutting wasteful spending and exposing bloated government programs.” He went further to criticize the Republican megabill, calling it “a betrayal of the voters.”

The 53-year-old tech entrepreneur has emphasized his long-term influence over Trump’s, stating on X that while “Trump has 3.5 years left as President,” he will “be around for 40+ years,” suggesting Republicans should consider their future carefully when choosing sides.

The impact is particularly significant for figures like JD Vance, who, as vice president and potential heir to Trump’s political movement, must carefully balance maintaining Musk’s donor while not alienating Trump’s base. Vance had previously predicted that Trump and Musk would remain close, a forecast that now appears increasingly unlikely.

The split has also created complicated dynamics for other Republican figures, including Senator Thom Tillis, who faces a tough reelection battle and could benefit from both Trump and Musk’s . Tillis has attempted to maintain neutrality, acknowledging Musk as a “brilliant guy” with resources while continuing to work on the contested Republican megabill.

The rift extends beyond political figures to affect key istration staff, notably the Miller couple. Stephen Miller, Trump’s deputy chief of staff, has become a defender of the Republican megabill, while his wife Katie Miller recently left her position as Musk’s aide to continue working with the entrepreneur, creating potential personal and professional complications.

Democracy in action.]]> <![CDATA[

A bipartisan sanctions bill targeting Russia‘s oil and gas revenues has gained significant in the Senate, with 82 senators backing the measure co-sponsored by Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal. The bill aims to diminish Russia’s ability to fund its ongoing war in Ukraine by targeting countries that continue to purchase Moscow’s energy resources.

According to Politico, Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Speaker Mike Johnson have expressed their for confronting Russia, creating what appears to be a crucial moment to pressure Vladimir Putin toward peace negotiations. However, President Donald Trump’s reluctance to endorse the measure has created a notable divide between congressional Republicans and the White House.

During an Oval Office meeting on Thursday, Trump made his position clear, stating of GOP lawmakers: “They’re waiting for me to decide on what to do.” This came after he itted he hadn’t yet reviewed the bill, despite having discussed it multiple times with Senator Graham.

Senate Republicans seek alternative path forward 4l1s1o

Despite the White House’s lukewarm response, Senate Republicans are considering moving forward with the bill independently. Senator Kevin Cramer, a Trump ally, suggests ing the measure to provide leverage, arguing that Trump could later decide its fate in the House while allowing the Senate to make its statement.

Trump will never cross Putin.

Trump asked the Senate to delay voting on a bipartisan Russia sanctions bill, Republican Senator Roger Wicker said.
"I know that Trump asked Majority Leader John Thune not to bring the bill to a vote this week," Wicker said.

The White House has reportedly indicated it won’t obstruct the Senate’s efforts to pursue the measure, though it hasn’t offered explicit encouragement. According to Republicans close to the discussions, the istration’s message has been more ive, suggesting they won’t interfere if senators feel compelled to act.

Thune has publicly stated his willingness to bring Graham’s bill to the floor before the July 4 recess. With over 80 co-sponsors, the bill demonstrates rare bipartisan unity in an otherwise deeply divided Senate, suggesting strong congressional determination to confront Russia’s actions in Ukraine.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who maintains with Trump, suggests that even Senate age alone would send a strong message to Moscow. The proposed legislation represents a significant shift in congressional approach to Russian aggression, though its ultimate fate remains uncertain as Trump continues to express reluctance to single out Putin for criticism, suggesting instead that sanctions could potentially target both Russia and Ukraine, noting that “it takes two to tango.”

Winning the information war by forfeit.]]> <![CDATA[

The Trump istration’s decision to significantly reduce operations of foreign news services in Asia has created a significant shift in regional information dynamics. The cuts, which took effect two months ago, have particularly impacted Radio Free Asia and other news outlets funded by the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM).

According to The Washington Post, the reduction in U.S.-backed media presence has left a noticeable void in areas where these outlets previously provided coverage, including regions where they reported on Beijing’s treatment of ethnic minorities. This gap in coverage has provided an opportunity for Chinese state media to expand its influence across the region.

According to an analysis prepared for a USAGM grantee, China is building toward a “regional propaganda monopoly,” taking advantage of the space left by the withdrawal of U.S.-backed media operations. The analysis, based on publicly available data, highlights the growing concern about China’s increasing control over information flows in Asia.

China expands media influence as U.S. presence diminishes ol3o

The withdrawal of U.S.-backed media has been particularly impactful in areas where Radio Free Asia previously provided critical coverage of sensitive issues related to China’s domestic policies. These areas are now experiencing an increased presence of Chinese state media, which presents news and information aligned with Beijing’s official positions.

Dear Trump, scrapping EV mandates doesn’t hurt Elon — it helps China. You're not defending Detroit, you're inviting Beijing to dominate the future of mobility. While you rant, China builds. The third eye sees your surrender. @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/K9mpejtvYn

The analysis indicates that China has been quick to fill the programming void left by the reduced operations of USAGM-funded outlets. This expansion of Chinese media influence comes at a time when independent coverage of certain regions and issues has become increasingly important.

The shift in the media landscape represents a significant change in how information is disseminated throughout Asia. The reduction of U.S.-backed media operations has effectively limited alternative sources of news in regions where state-controlled media dominate the information space.

The developments highlight the broader implications of the Trump istration’s decision to scale back U.S. media operations in Asia. As China continues to expand its media presence, concerns grow about the long-term impact on information access and the balance of media coverage in the region.

They're desperately trying to keep him off Truth Social.]]> <![CDATA[

We all know Donald Trump is a thin-skinned drama queen with a talent when it comes to insults and nicknames. All of which means it’s surprising that he’s been so restrained during the ongoing Musk meltdown.

The Trump we’re familiar with would be ready with a brutal put-down via a few taps of his fingers with a post on Truth Social, particularly after Musk dropped a bombshell alleging he’s involved in child sex crimes with Jeffrey Epstein.

But, so far, he’s been surprisingly subdued. His only comment on TruthSocial is: “I don’t mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago”, before moving on to his ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’. When asked about Musk directly by a journalist, Trump struck a calm tone: “Elon and I had a great relationship. I don’t know if we will any more.”

Now we may know what’s going on in the Oval Office. As per a report in Politico, Trump is, in reality, incandescent with rage about Musk and wants nothing more than to hit back hard with a brutal Truth Social post to put him in his place. But, knowing this risks tossing gasoline on an already raging fire, White House aides have been pleading with him to stay calm, at least in public.

So far, they’ve succeeded, arguing that any public blow-ups will distract from his ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ getting through the Senate. They’re probably right, though we doubt Trump will remain muzzled for long. No doubt right now he’s simmering in the Oval Office as cutting insults spin through his mind, his fingers twitching as he fights the urge to pull out his phone and transmit them to the world.

Are you really going to just take this?! 5p4v2r

I can only urge him to do so. C’mon, Mr President! Are you really going to let this jumped-up, drug-addled loser insult you in public and get away with it? Everyone should know that disrespecting Donald J. Trump comes with major consequences, and this creepy little weirdo who’s been hanging around the White House like a bad smell more than has it coming. So, sneak off to the bathroom, whip out that phone, and give us a dose of the freewheelin’ Trump that used to dominate Twitter!

Every minute that es, he’s laughing harder at you, and the respect of your fans is draining away. You cannot – will not – let this insult stand! It’s time to fight back. Now!

This is a lesson in discernment. ]]> <![CDATA[

Former attorney for Jeffrey Epstein, David Schoen, has taken to Twitter/X to declare Donald Trump innocent of being involved in anything dubious concerning his client, who reportedly 4 took his own life while awaiting trial.

Everywhere you look right now, there’s a lot of commentary from people being pretty self-congratulatory because they “predicted” that the Tesla CEO and the president would have a falling out. But there’s a far more important lesson here, and that lesson is discernment. It’s something we all need — and something we are sadly lacking in today’s culture.

But back to the main story here: David Schoen’s defense of President Trump. The evening of the havoc between Trump and Elon Musk was truly entertaining — the two attacked each other over who lies more and who is more predatory to the American public. Spoiler alert: it’s both. Everyone in the conservative influencer market, and even the manosphere, was quick to pick sides. At one point, Elon Musk even called for the impeachment of Trump. But by far, what took the cake was when he claimed that the truth about Trump and Epstein would soon come out. That’s when Schoen fired off his tweet in defense of Trump, which started with, “I was hired to lead Jeffrey Epstein’s defense as his criminal lawyer nine days before he died.”

I was hired to lead Jeffrey Epstein’s defense as his criminal lawyer 9 days before he died. He sought my advice for months before that. I can say authoritatively, unequivocally, and definitively that he had no information to hurt President Trump. I specifically asked him!

— David Schoen (@SchoenDavid) June 6, 2025

Which is fine — if that’s what he said and that’s the truth. It’s veering a bit close to attorney-client privilege, but it’s really nothing Trump’s own Michael Cohen hasn’t done in the past. Where discernment comes in, however, is in looking at who else Schoen has defended in his career. Schoen defended Trump in his second impeachment trial, and when he delivered his closing arguments, CNN reported that he was moved to tears over the man. So, do we really think this is someone who would be neutral about Trump?

Schoen also defended Trump’s special advisor in court over the Jan. 6 insurrection attempt. And considering all the public distrust surrounding all three of his most high-profile clients, there’s not a single credible reason to take his tweet seriously. Like the rest of these guys, the man is motivated by self-interest — he serves the strongest person in the room and will say whatever is needed of him at any given time.

As things stand, whether you believe Elon Musk or not, there’s no publicly accessible information to prove Trump innocent or guilty. These are unverified claims from someone in Trump’s circle who is emotionally invested in the man and wants to keep his place in the inner ring. He may present himself as a neutral, credible source — but he is far from that.

Elon Musk and President Trump’s egos are so huge that it’s like a case of a snake with two heads competing to devour their t tail faster. People were right about the two: they were never going to survive co-existence, because neither can play second fiddle. All we can do now is sit, wait, grab your popcorn, and watch them irreparably destroy their characters.

Anyone else who tries to salvage either of their reputations — first, take a step back and ask what they have to gain, and then decide whether to believe them or not. That’s discernment.
