### JD Vance Criticizes Elon Musk's Attacks on Trump, Calls for Amends

JD Vance has condemned Elon Musk's recent social media outbursts targeting Donald Trump, describing them as a "huge mistake" and suggesting that Musk acted out of frustration. However, Vance also tried to soften the impact of Musk's remarks by referring to him as an "emotional guy" who might have simply lost his cool.

"I hope that eventually Elon comes back into the fold. Maybe that's not possible now because he's gone so nuclear," Vance commented, emphasizing the need for reconciliation. This sentiment echoes recent appeals from other Republicans who want the strained relationship between Musk and Trump mended.

Musk's harsh criticism came after Trump labeled him "CRAZY" and threatened to cut government contracts held by Musk’s businesses. The billionaire entrepreneur, who oversees Tesla, Starlink, and SpaceX, not only lambasted Trump's key tax cuts and spending bill but also insinuated that the government was hiding information about Trump’s connection to the notorious Jeffrey Epstein. Though Musk's posts on the matter appeared to be deleted by Saturday morning.

"This stuff is just not helpful," said Vance regarding Musk’s inflammatory social media posts, which included a call for Trump's impeachment and replacement with Vance himself. Vance stood by Trump, asserting that the president has been "very restrained" in his responses to Musk's criticisms.

The conversation occurred during an interview with Theo Von, known for his controversial comedy. Vance laughed along with Von as he made edgy jokes about historical figures like Frederick Douglass, further highlighting the informal and provocative nature of the discussion.

Vance also defended the contentious spending bill that Musk had criticized, arguing that its main objective was to extend the 2017 tax cuts initiated during Trump's first term. While acknowledging that the bill was not perfect, he rejected the notion that lawmakers had insufficient time to review it, calling such claims "ridiculous."

As Vance and Von explored other topics, including a playful exchange about election night celebrations, the overall interview painted a picture of Vance’s loyalty to Trump and his desire to see Musk and Trump resolve their differences.
