Jake Paul criticized Donald Trump and Elon Musk for their online feud calling it immature and harmful to America’s image in a post shared Tuesday.
Jake Paul stepped into the political ring this week, weighing in on the escalating feud between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk by calling their online bickering immature and embarrassing for the country.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer posted on X that while he respects both men, their public spat is doing more harm than good.
“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,” Jake Paul wrote. “They need to work together and not make America look bad.”

The clash between President Trump, 78, and Musk, 53, has intensified in recent days, with both men trading barbs online.
The feud has also drawn commentary from President Trump loyalist Steve Bannon, who took aim at Musk in an interview with The New York Times.
“They should initiate a formal investigation of his immigration status because I am of the strong belief that he is an illegal alien, and he should be deported from the country immediately,” Bannon said.
Paul’s remarks come as tensions between the former president and the Tesla CEO continue to dominate headlines, raising questions about the future of conservative alliances ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Paul, a registered Republican, didn’t hold back in his criticism of the behavior despite previously endorsing Trump ahead of the 2024 election.
“Do the right thing, vote for Donald Trump,” Paul told his 20 million YouTube subscribers last fall. “Not because I said so, not because Beyoncé said so, but because it’s what’s right.”
