JD Vance on Elon Musk-Donald Trump fight: Hopefully Elon figures it out …, President was frustrated but …

US Vice President JD Vance has now weighed in on the 'escalating' online feud between US President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Commenting on the public dispute, Vance expressed concern over the implications of the high-profile disagreement, saying that Musk made a huge mistake for attacking the President in such a manner. "I think it's a huge mistake for him to go after the president like that," Vance said in an episode of "This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von," which was released on Saturday."I just think it's a huge mistake for the world's wealthiest man, I think one of the most transformational entrepreneurs ever — that's Elon — to be at this war with the world's most powerful man," said Vance, while acknowledging Musk's right to his opinion.The conflict between the

and Trump began last week after Musk criticised the President's "Big Beautiful Bill," calling it a "disgusting abomination."

Vance hints Trump is frustrated

Vance indicated that Trump had been "a little frustrated" by Musk's recent criticisms. He expressed hope that the feud would resolve, stating it would be "bad for the country" and that he hoped Musk "figures it out" and "comes back into the fold.""Hopefully Elon figures it out, comes back into the fold. President was frustrated but I think has been very restrained because President doesn't think he needs to be in a blood feud with Elon & I think if Elon chills out a lil bit, everything would be fine," he said.Vance also provided context for Musk's potential frustration, acknowledging the complexities of the legislative process in Washington. He defended the spending bill, designed to prevent significant tax increases. "I get Elon's frustration. Congress got the spending bill, but main purpose of bill is not spending/cutting,but is to prevent biggest tax increase. It's a good bill, not a perfect bill. If you're a business leader, you get frustrated with that bureaucratic process in DC," he added."Elon is an incredible entrepreneur. The sort of effort to root out waste, fraud & abuse in our country, DOGE is really good. Elon is new to politics, right? His businesses are being attacked nonstop. They're fire bombing some of his cars. I get the frustration there," Vance said.The public dispute escalated when President Trump responded during a White House event, expressing disappointment in Musk and stating he had "helped Elon a lot."
