Trump's Cold Shoulder: No Love Lost Between Him and Musk
In a turn of events, US President Trump and Tesla CEO Musk find themselves locked in a public dispute, with both parties not afraid to throw some serious shade. Despite a call to mend fences, Trump seems less than thrilled about the whole idea.
According to ABC News, Trump expressed little interest in speaking with Elon Musk after their recent war of words. During a call on Friday morning, Trump claimed Musk had "lost his mind" and stated he wasn't exactly eager to chat. The White House backed up Trump's sentiments, confirming that the President doesn't want to engage with his former buddy.
In response to a question about a scheduled phone conversation with Musk on the same day, Trump said with a snicker, "You mean the guy who's gone crazy?" Needless to say, Musk seems eager for a chat, but Trump remains unimpressed and unwilling.

For months, it seemed like Musk and Trump were tight as two peas in a pod. But their cozy relationship has since disintegrated into a messy public spat. The feud was ignited by Trump's tax law, which Musk opposes due to its aim to axe tax credits for electric vehicles.

Trump branded Musk as having "gone crazy" over his scathing criticisms, which the world's richest man took to his platform, X, to fire back. Things got so heated between the two that Trump threatened to yank government contracts away from Musk's company, while Musk suggested it was high time for some impeachment proceedings against Trump.
