Musk calls for Trump's impeachment

Elon Musk tweeted that President Trump should be impeached and announced that SpaceX would begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft, which is essential to NASA's operation, in response to Trump's threat to cancel government contracts with Musk's companies. The Dragon spacecraft has been used to supply and operate the International Space Station, and shutting it down would leave the ISS reliant on Russia. Musk's tweets were in response to Trump's criticism of his opposition to the president's signature bill, which is projected to add trillions to the national debt. Musk also tweeted about Trump's alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein, claiming that Trump's name is in the Epstein files and that's why they haven't been made public. The feud between Musk and Trump has been escalating, with Musk criticizing the GOP's hypocrisy on deficits and floating the idea of a new political party. Trump, on the other hand, suggested that Musk was upset about the rollback of electric vehicle credits and accused him of having "Trump Derangement Syndrome." The feud has put pressure on the MAGA coalition to pick sides, with some, like Steve Bannon, calling for Musk to be deported. The situation is likely to continue to escalate, with Musk and Trump trading barbs on social media. The outcome of this feud could have significant implications for the country, particularly in terms of space exploration and the economy.
