Tosca Musk’s Passionflix Crashes Amid Elon-Trump Feud Frenzy
What’s being dubbed one of the most prominent “breakups” in recent political-media history—despite no marriage ever existing—is unfolding in full view online. The digital spat between President Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk has captured social media’s attention, igniting memes, speculation, and now, an unexpected side effect: a streaming site crash.
Passionflix, the Romance Platform Run by Elon Musk’s Sister, Buckles Under Sudden Surge
As tensions escalated between Trump and Musk over the passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” netizens flooded online spaces searching for updates. One unexpected destination? Passionflix, the romance-centered streaming service founded by Elon’s sister, Tosca Musk.
Whether curious about the Musk family or simply drawn by the drama, users overwhelmed the site, leading to a temporary outage. Tosca took to X (formerly Twitter), posting: “Stay with us, we’re working on it!”—referencing the platform’s steamy new series premiere, Black Dagger Brotherhood.
From Feud Fallout to Viral Fame: Passionflix Finds the Spotlight
At 50, Tosca Musk is relishing the spotlight—however unexpected. Her platform, described by Variety as “a haven for romance lovers,” features stories ranging from sweet and sentimental to “toe-curling” drama. Available in over 150 countries, Passionflix’s mission is simple: stories crafted “for the female gaze.”
In a prior interview, Tosca said she launched the platform in 2016 because, “I want delicate storytelling. I want women to tell these stories.” The Musk-Trump feud appears to have introduced a whole new audience to those stories.
A Timely Premiere Adds Fuel to the Fire
The timing couldn’t have been better—or more chaotic. The Passionflix outage coincided with the debut of Black Dagger Brotherhood, an adaptation of J.R. Ward’s popular vampire romance novels. The paranormal drama about elite warrior vampires already had a strong fanbase, but the Musk surname may have amplified its exposure to new heights.
Fans quickly rallied online:
“Overload from success. Nice.”
“You should be proud, Tosca. Amazing premiere!”
“Guess they need to start on season 2, 3, 4, and 5 already.”
Elon and Trump’s Digital Duel Takes Over Social Media
Meanwhile, the Musk-Trump digital conflict took center stage. What began with Trump praising Musk by awarding him a symbolic “key to the White House” turned sour in just days. Musk slammed Trump’s spending bill, claiming, “Without me, Trump would have lost… Such ingratitude.”
Trump’s response on Truth Social was swift and cutting: “Elon was wearing thin… I asked him to leave and removed the EV mandate… and he went CRAZY!” He later told reporters during a briefing with Germany’s chancellor, “I’m disappointed in Elon.”
Internet Reacts: “It’s Kendrick vs. Drake, But Both Are Drakes”
The feud has spawned a flood of online commentary and memes. Among the standouts:
“This is like Kendrick vs. Drake but with two Drakes.”
“Imagine being an ICE agent suiting up for your biggest mission.”
“Who gets JD Vance in the divorce?”
“Trump deporting Elon would be the funniest outcome possible.”
Tosca’s Unexpected Moment in the Spotlight
In the middle of it all, Tosca Musk has emerged as an unlikely winner. Passionflix, with its romantic plots and female-focused storytelling, is now enjoying an unprecedented wave of attention. Whether the spotlight will last remains to be seen—but for now, it’s clear that one Musk sibling is enjoying the bump in traffic.
“This is a good thing,” wrote one viewer.
And maybe it is—for Tosca Musk, at least.
