When Kevin O’Leary, a.k.a. Mr. Wonderful, speaks — the business world listens. And this time, he’s got Donald Trump and Elon Musk in his crosshairs.
In a scorching hot take caught on camera by TMZ, the “Shark Tank” star wasted no time diving into the headline-grabbing feud between the former president-turned-sitting commander-in-chief and the tech titan behind Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter).
Sliding on his shades like he’s about to walk into a Wall Street boardroom, O’Leary hit America with a blunt truth bomb:
“Elon and Trump need to kiss, make up, and move on. This is childish—and frankly, we need both of them.”
Trump & Elon: Titans at War
The drama started when Elon Musk made a series of X posts that seemed to throw Trump under the bus by linking him to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. While Trump didn’t take the bait publicly at first, he’s reportedly furious behind the scenes, with some insiders suggesting a “blacklist” may be in the works.
But Kevin isn’t here for the petty.
“Elon went too far dragging Trump’s name into that Epstein mess,” O’Leary said. “He owes Trump an apology. Period.”
O’Leary made it clear: Elon is the king of AI, robotics, and space innovation — and Trump, love him or hate him, is still one of the most influential political leaders in the world. If these two keep beefing, the only winner is China.
“You want America to stay competitive? These two need to get in a room, shake hands, and figure it out.”
Apologies, Tariffs, and Tension
Interestingly, Elon has already walked back some of his controversial comments, admitting on X that “maybe I took it too far.”
Meanwhile, Trump — in classic Trump fashion — hasn’t directly responded, but insiders say he’s open to reconciliation, especially if it benefits his administration’s goals on technology, manufacturing, and space dominance.
Right now, though, Trump’s got his hands full with:
- Tariff negotiations
- ICE raids and immigration crackdowns
- And, of course, campaigning for 2028 (yes, it’s already starting…)
Why This Feud Matters
Kevin O’Leary isn’t being dramatic for nothing. The Trump-Musk dynamic affects real-world outcomes. Think:
- AI policy
- Space Force funding
- EV market growth
- Tech job creation
- National security through innovation
“It’s like Apple and Microsoft refusing to talk. It hurts everyone. Grow up and do what’s best for the country,” O’Leary warned.
Can They Bury the Hatchet?
Stranger things have happened. Remember when Trump and Kanye were buddy-buddy? Or when Musk and Mark Zuckerberg teased a cage fight? In the world of ego and influence, grudges are rarely permanent if power and profit are on the line.
If Musk and Trump reunite, it could reshape:
- How America leads the AI race
- The future of Mars colonization
- The private-public partnership in U.S. infrastructure and defense
Mr. Wonderful’s Final Word
“This isn’t high school. It’s global leadership. You want to beat China? You want to build the future? Then act like adults. Put the beef aside.”
And with that, O’Leary threw on his sunglasses, dropped the mic, and walked off into the metaphorical boardroom sunset.
