President Donald Trump is reportedly dragging his entire MAGA friend group into his war with Elon Musk—and forcing them to choose sides.
Rolling Stone reported that Trump administration officials have launched a Cold War to freeze Musk out of MAGA social circles on the heels of his very public falling with Trump.
“We are taking away Elon’s friends,” a senior Trump administration official told Rolling Stone. “If he wants them back, he will need to kiss Donald Trump’s a-- harder than he’s ever kissed anybody’s a-- before in his entire life.”

The official added, “Even then, it’s not a given he gets to come back from this.”
Musk has reportedly become a pariah since he went scorched Earth on Trump and alleged that the president’s ties to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein are the reason why the “Epstein files” haven’t been released.
“Time to drop the really big bomb,” Musk said in a since-deleted tweet. “@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.”
In response, another source told Rolling Stone that White House staff have been making calls to big donors and high-profile allies to reaffirm their loyalty.
“What some people don’t understand about Trump is that he is a very gregarious person. But when he needs to be the boss, he can switch to that mode pretty quickly,” said pastor and Trump adviser Darrell C. Scott, who has assisted the president on affairs since 2016. He added, “I don’t think Elon was able to deal with that… Now he’s probably got a lot of people in his ear about this right now. All I’ve done since this all blew up on Thursday so far is send him a text, telling him: ‘Be encouraged.’”
Scott said he is Team Trump “all the way.” He added, “He is my friend and he’s my president.”
