Trump ‘not interested’ in call with Musk, White House official says
CNBC ^ | June 6, 2025 | Dan Mangan

President Donald Trump is “not interested” in a call with Tesla CEO Elon Musk to resolve their feud, a senior White House official told NBC News on Friday morning.

The two billionaires launched a war of words on Thursday over Musk’s continued criticism of Trump’s proposed tax bill.

Trump said that Musk, who until a week ago was one of his top government advisors, had gone “crazy” and threatened to kill federal contracts with his companies, which include SpaceX.

Musk, in turn, said Trump could not have been elected president without his massive financial support, and accused the Republican of ingratitude for that, and for lying in saying that he had ousted Musk from the White House because the CEO was “wearing thin.”

If someone publicly accused me of being a pedophile I don’t think I would talk to him either.

Seems likely that Elon Musk had his "breakdown" due to his drug use.

Probably needs to check himself in to rehab.

The tweet about Epstein wasn’t going to result in Trump wanting to talk to Musk. And if Musk really believes that, why would he want to talk to Trump?

It will take awhile for this burned bridge to be rebuilt, if ever. It simply got too personal, too fast. Although, there is hope...Cruz and Trump made up, at least professionally, after Trump made accusations that his father was involved in the JFK assassination.

I’m firmly on Tram Trump here.

Sounds like he’s just giving Musk a timeout, however. He’s famous for letting people back in his circle, but somwtimes under changed terms. (See: Bannon)

The media doing all it can to keep their National Enquirer image up with the Trump Musk spat it’s a non issue.

Trump has a job to do.

He knows that.

He’s been attacked harder and better than by the likes of Musk.

Trump was a reality TV star and WWE HOF before he became POTUS.

Most folk might say those experiences might not be valuable for a POTUS.

But then again, who knew the Deep State had so many fictional scripts to attack Trump with.

The media loves this stuff and will make way more of it than it is.

Musk got his feelings hurt and he has not developed the interactive social skills to deal with the most profound emotions.

When it comes to the history of Trump’s second term Musk will be nothing more than a footnote.

Musk has real problems.

The future of EV’s and rocket ships may not be as bright as one thought.

I wish him well.

He did America a great service by buying Twitter and dismantling it as a Deep State propaganda tool.
