Amid the ongoing feud between US President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk, a claim has gone viral on social media that states the Vice President JD Vance is resigning from his role in the Trump administration. But how true are these viral claims? Let's have a fact check.
The vice president, JD Vance, appeared to wade into the increasing tension between Trump and Musk by sharing a cryptic post on social media.
On Friday, Vance shared a photo with comedian Von, where he appeared to subtly allude to the highly publicised fallout between the former president and the tech billionaire that's currently making the headlines.
The viral claims are reportedly false, as there have been no reports of Vance resigning from his post, as per Times Now. Moreover, the claim that surfaced on social media is based on a theory that the fallout between Donald Trump and JD Vance is related to a larger fallout between the Trump administration and the Silicon Valley entrepreneurs.
JD Vance is generally looked upon as someone close to Silicon Valley because of his past work as a venture capitalist and his link with the PayPal owner, Peter Thiel.
Amid this, several misleading posts about JD Vance resigning are going viral on the internet. Here are some of them:
JD Vance has so far maintained his silence over the ongoing public feud between Donald Trump and Tesla owner Elon Musk, who have been throwing punches at each other.
Additionally, even though a wide rift has emerged inside the Trump campaign, with supporters choosing to support either Musk or Trump, the former senator from Ohio has not responded to it.
The fallout between the US president and Tesla owner came in the wake of the 78-year-old drumming up support for the GOP-backed budget and government spending bill. The package's drastic tax cuts and federal budget cuts have drawn criticism from Musk and other opponents, who estimate that the bill would increase the national debt by over $2.5 trillion.
Meanwhile, the billionaire demanded Trump's impeachment on Thursday, even going so far as to say that Trump would not have won the election without his backing.
