A public fight between U.S. Vice President JD Vance, who shared his worries about the possible harm to both men and the country. Vance told podcaster Theo Von that Musk’s criticisms of Trump were a “huge mistake,” showing he believes the conflict is bad for everyone involved, including the nation.
According to Politico, Vance said, “I’m always going to be loyal to the President, and I hope that eventually Elon comes back into the fold. Maybe that’s not possible now because he’s gone so nuclear.”
Vance’s comments showed his concern for the country’s well-being. He argued that the fight between two influential figures was not only hurting their own reputations but also not helping the nation. He said that while people have the right to disagree, the current level of hostility was causing unnecessary harm. He believed that if Musk had just “calmed down,” things could have improved, and a solution might have been possible.

The disagreement started when Musk openly opposed a spending bill ed by Trump, which Musk said would make the national deficit worse. This argument quickly turned into a public back-and-forth, with Musk posting several messages on social media. Some of these posts Trump fired back with his own attacks on Musk, threatening to affect Musk’s government contracts and even questioning his mental health.
The Vice President said that even though he disagrees with Musk on some issues and s Trump, he doesn’t think Musk has to agree with everything the President says or does. He stressed the importance of respect and better communication, suggesting that finding common ground and avoiding pointless fights would help everyone involved.
The situation shows a deeper split within the Republican Party, with many defending Trump. Vance’s public statement adds to this, reinforcing his for the President and his worry about the worsening public feud. This division has become more complicated because some Republicans who originally backed Trump’s spending bill have since changed their minds. The ongoing conflict highlights the tricky politics of the moment and the huge influence both Trump and Musk have.
