Billionaire Elon Musk has intensified his criticism of U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration by launching a viral poll on Thursday.
The poll quickly gained traction, amassing over 4.1 million votes, with a striking 81% responding in favor of the idea.
Musk further stirred the conversation by responding to a prominent conservative who warned that Republicans might be forced to choose between Trump and Musk. In a sharp retort, Musk remarked, “Oh, and some food for thought as they ponder this question: Trump has 3.5 years left as President, but I will be around for 40+ years…”
The public feud between the two figures dates back to Trump’s remarks from the Oval Office, where he told reporters he was “disappointed in Elon” for opposing his “Big Beautiful Bill.”
Trump accused Musk of acting out of self-interest, claiming he “went CRAZY” over the bill’s cuts to electric vehicle tax credits and his lost access to the Oval Office.
