President Joe Biden on Tuesday evening tweeted that he would support impeaching former President Donald Trump, a move that was swiftly met with a response from the former president himself.
Trump’s Response
Trump, who has been critical of Biden’s handling of the economy and inflation, stated in a tweet that Biden is "a total disaster" and accused him of being responsible for high gas prices. He also claimed to have "made America great again."
Context of the Exchange
Biden’s tweet followed his criticism of Trump regarding his handling of the economy during his presidency. The president has argued that Trump’s policies led to inflation and high gas prices.
This exchange occurs as Congress prepares to vote on several key pieces of legislation related to healthcare reform and economic stimulus packages. The House is expected to vote on Wednesday on a bill aimed at reducing healthcare costs by allowing Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices with pharmaceutical companies.
Musk Weighs In
Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur and CEO of SpaceX, weighed in on the debate when asked if he would support impeaching Trump. Musk simply replied, "Yes."
Musk has been critical of both Biden and Trump in the past, but it is unclear what motivated his response this time around. Notably, Musk has not always been consistent in his political views or actions.
Musk’s Political History
- In 2020, Musk endorsed Republican candidates for local offices in California.
- He did not endorse either candidate running against Democratic incumbent Sen. Dianne Feinstein or her challenger Kevin de Leon (D-Calif.).
- He also refrained from endorsing candidates running against Democratic incumbents Reps. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) or Katie Porter (D-Calif.).
- Musk donated $100 each year from 2018 through 2021 to their opponents’ campaigns via an independent expenditure committee called Protect Our Future PAC.
This committee was founded by tech mogul Reid Hoffman’s venture capital firm Greylock Partners’ partner David Sacks’ associate Sam Bankman-Fried, highlighting the complex web of political donations and endorsements in Musk’s history.
