Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) on Thursday referred to the feud between tech billionaire Elon Musk and President Trump as a circus sideshow as the Senate focuses on passing Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.”
“This is a little speed bump, it’s a little side circus show,” Marshall told NewsNation’s Blake Burman on “The Hill.” “We are absolutely locked in on passing the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill.’”
On Thursday, Trump and Musk’s relationship quickly fell apart in a very public way. In an Oval Office meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, the president told reporters that he was “very surprised” and “very disappointed” in Musk, who has recently mounted a campaign against the president’s signature policy bill.
In response, Musk claimed on social media that he was behind the president’s November 2024 election victory. He also alleged in a mid-afternoon post on X that Trump had ties to convicted sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein.
“We’ll prevent the largest tax increase in American history,” Marshall said of the “big, beautiful bill.” “We’re going to kick illegal aliens off of Medicaid. So, there’s so many great things in this bill that we have to get it through.”
Musk also backed a call to impeach Trump on Thursday, a move that marked a notable reversal from the apparently tight relationship the tech billionaire and the president appeared to have even just earlier this year.
“President vs Elon. Who wins? My money’s on Elon. Trump should be impeached and JD Vance should replace him,” Ian Miles Cheong, a Malaysia-based right-wing writer, said in an afternoon post X.
“Yes,” Musk said in response to Cheong’s post about 20 minutes later.
The Hill has reached out to Tesla for comment.
