Recent exchanges between Elon Musk and Donald Trump indicate a deepening rift, as Musk has openly criticized one of Trump's key economic policies—tariffs. On a Thursday afternoon, Musk voiced his concerns on X, predicting that Trump's tariffs could trigger a recession in the latter half of this year. This statement marks Musk's most severe critique yet of Trump's economic strategies, emphasizing his disapproval of the policy.

Beyond economic policies, Musk has also hinted at more drastic political measures. In response to a post that contemplated a physical confrontation between Musk and Trump, and went on to suggest Trump's impeachment along with Vice President JD Vance stepping into the presidency, Musk's response was a succinct yet affirming, "Yes."

The public discourse between Musk and Trump adds a dramatic twist to their already strained relationship, capturing the attention of political and economic observers alike.
