Jake Paul has urged Elon Musk and President Donald Trump to end their very public feud and has called for more maturity from the two biggest high-profile figures in the US at the minute.

The boxer and influencer, 28, weighed in after a heated exchange between the Tesla CEO and the President on Thursday, which saw Musk call for Trump’s impeachment and Trump threaten to revoke federal contracts and subsidies for Musk’s companies.

‌

The disagreement stemmed from a Republican-backed spending bill, which Musk described as a “disgusting abomination” that would deepen the U.S. deficit.

‌

Posting on X, Paul wrote: “One of the problems with the Republican Party is on display today… (As a current Republican) 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… Elon and Trump are great but they need to work together and not make America look bad,” he added.

Kanye West also appeared to call for peace, writing: “Broooos please noooooo. We love you both so much.” Comedian Jon Stewart offered a more critical perspective, mocking Trump’s decision to give Musk access to sensitive government systems during his time in office. “Good thing Trump didn’t willfully hand over the entirety of our country’s operating system to Elon and his… oops,” Stewart posted.

The online row began after Musk claimed credit for Trump’s re-election, writing: “Without me, Trump would have lost the election… Such ingratitude.”

Trump then responded by criticising Musk’s opposition to the spending bill, saying: “I’m very disappointed with Elon… He had no problem with it. All of a sudden he had a problem, and he only developed the problem when he found out we’re going to cut [the] EV mandate.”

Earlier this week, Trump urged to “deport Elon Musk immediately” amid the pair’s blistering row. Trump has also been encouraged to scrap all of the tech billionaire’s contracts and launch several investigations into the world’s richest man.

Musk, 53, had this week denounced Mr Trump’s signature domestic policy bill as an “abomination” and, since then, tensions between the pair have escalated. Musk quit his role as advisor, after previously admitting he “probably spent a bit too much time on politics”. The comment came during an interview after another SpaceX rocket exploded on a test launch in Texas, US.
