Playing It Safe: ‘All-In’ Pod Keeps Mum about Musk-Trump Feud

The “All-In” podcast, hosted by tech bros Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, David Sacks, and David Friedberg, has remained conspicuously silent on the explosive public feud between President Donald Trump and former first buddy Elon Musk.

Calacanis announced on X Friday that he had “decided to take a beat & not comment on the Trump & Elon donnybrook,” using an Irish term for brawl. He suggested such conflicts typically “fade into kerfuffles before you know it.”

There’s a lot of conflict of interest. Sacks currently serves as Trump’s White House AI and crypto czar, he’s also a longtime Musk collaborator, going back to their PayPal days, and he’s also an investor in SpaceX. Calacanis, meanwhile, has been a close advisor to Musk during his acquisition and management of X, then Twitter.

Friedberg and Palihapitiya are investors in Musk’s businesses, with the latter profiting significantly from SpaceX investments through his Social Capital fund. He also co-hosted a $12 million Trump fundraiser with Sacks in June last year.

The Trump-Musk spat erupted publicly Thursday when Musk called Trump’s ‘one big beautiful bill’ a ‘disgusting abomination.’ Trump threatened to cancel billions in government contracts with Musk’s companies, while Musk suggested Trump should be impeached and made claims about the president’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein.

The All In podcast, launched in 2020, has gained significant influence in Silicon Valley and among entrepreneurs for its freewheeling discussions of business, politics, and technology. 

Silicon Valley has remained mostly silent about the high-stakes feud. Musk has since deleted the Epstein-related claim and the impeachment tweet, suggesting it may all blow over soon. Even if Trump says otherwise.
