Rapper Kanye West, media personality Piers Morgan and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones have also jumped into the conversation and shared their comments on the dramatic breakup.
US Vice President JD Vance on June 6 took to X to share that he feels "proud to stand beside" Trump.
"President Trump has done more than any person in my lifetime to earn the trust of the movement he leads. I'm proud to stand beside him," he wrote.

June 6, 2025Trump and Musk's relationship took an ugly turn when the Tesla and SpaceX CEO used his social media platform to criticise Trump's signature bill.
On Thursday, Trump, in a post on Truth Social, called Musk "Crazy," claiming that he had asked the billionaire to leave his administration.
"Elon was wearing thin, I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!" Trump said.
Subsequently, Musk accused the US President of being part of the "Epstein Files."
Republican Representative Thomas Massie said that the fallout between the two of them was “inevitable.”
“You don't land rockets backwards or get cars to drive themselves by suffering fools gladly,” Massie wrote on X.
