Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s relationship has taken a dramatic turn—from allies to adversaries almost overnight—and Jake Paul says the fallout is not just embarrassing for the GOP, but damaging to America’s image worldwide.
Taking to his X account, the 28-year-old boxer and social media star shared his candid opinion on the feud between the former President and Tesla/SpaceX CEO, calling for unity rather than online jabs.
“They’re both great,” Jake wrote, “but they need to work together and not make America look bad.”
Jake Paul Slams the “Alpha Male” Drama
Jake, who is a registered Republican and vocal supporter of Trump, didn’t hold back as he criticized the online back-and-forth between the two billionaires:
“We unfortunately have these alpha male egos and leaders who aren’t mature enough sometimes. They’re 50+ years old and diss-tweeting each other.”
He’s not wrong—Musk is 53, and Trump is 78—yet their recent public spat over the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” has escalated into personal attacks, with Musk even suggesting Trump was named in the Epstein files.
Jake Paul: Longtime Trump Supporter
Jake’s comments come as somewhat surprising, given his past public support for Trump. In October 2024, ahead of the general election, he urged his 20 million YouTube followers to vote for the Republican candidate:

“Do the right thing. Vote for Donald Trump. Not because I said so, not because Beyoncé said so, but because it’s what’s right,” Jake stated in a widely viewed video.
He even attended Trump’s inauguration festivities in D.C., rubbing shoulders with stars like his brother Logan Paul, comedian Theo Von, and UFC legend Conor McGregor.
No Signs of Peace Yet
While Jake’s message calls for reconciliation, neither Musk nor Trump seem ready to bury the hatchet. The feud has only intensified, with Musk going “scorched earth” mode and Trump returning fire with his own insults.
Photos from their “happier times”—when they once shared mutual admiration—now feel like distant memories.
Final Thoughts
Jake Paul may not be a traditional political voice, but in this case, his plea for maturity and unity may strike a chord with younger voters tired of the drama. As he put it, “Cooler heads need to prevail.”
???? What do you think? Can Musk and Trump reconcile—or is this political bromance over for good?
