Expert responds to Elon Musk’s calls for Donald Trump

Elon Musk has called for President Donald Trump’s impeachment, escalating their feud following Musk’s strong criticism of Trump’s “big beautiful bill,” which includes tax exemptions on Social Security, overtime, and tips. Musk labeled the bill a “disgusting abomination” and later accused Trump of being linked to unreleased Epstein files—a claim the White House dismissed. Musk also endorsed a tweet suggesting Trump should be replaced by Vice President JD Vance, simply replying “yes.” This marks a dramatic fallout between the two, who were recently aligned politically.

Legal expert Michael J. Wynne responded to Musk’s impeachment demand, stating there’s no constitutional basis for it. He explained impeachment must be grounded in treason, bribery, or high crimes, and Musk’s claims lack any such evidence. Wynne dismissed the calls as “self-aggrandizing rhetoric.” Meanwhile, Trump accused Musk of losing his temper after being asked to step down from his role in DOGE and having his EV mandate revoked—claims Musk called “an obvious lie.” When asked about reconciling with Musk, Trump scoffed, saying Musk had “lost his mind” and added, “I’m not even thinking about Elon.” The feud continues to draw public attention with no sign of resolution.
