Elon Musk and President Trump will not be talking to each other anytime soon.
A new report has surfaced that President Trump will not call Elon Musk on the phone.
In a statement to CNN, Trump shared that he won’t be talking to Musk for a while.
CNBC provided more details on the story:
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, which is pending in the Senate.
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.”
Musk also said that SpaceX would decommission its Dragon spacecraft, the only current U.S. method of transporting crew to and from the International Space Station. Musk later said Dragon would not be decommissioned.
“No. I won’t be speaking to him for a while I guess, but I wish him well,” Trump told CNN, that outlet reported Friday morning.

Yesterday, Politico reported White House aides were attempting to reach out to Musk for a call.
Per Politico:
Signs of a truce are emerging in the increasingly bitter clash between two of the world’s most powerful men.
ADVERTISEMENTPresident Donald Trump projected an air of nonchalance in an interview Thursday with POLITICO during a day of sparring over social media with Elon Musk.
Separately, White House aides, after working to persuade the president to temper his public criticism of Musk to avoid escalation, scheduled a call Friday with the billionaire CEO of Tesla to broker a peace.
“Oh it’s okay,” Trump told POLITICO in a brief telephone call when asked about the very public breakup with his onetime megabacker. “It’s going very well, never done better.” Trump went on to tout his favorability ratings saying, “The numbers are through the roof, the highest polls I’ve ever had and I have to go.”
It was a marked contrast to what appeared for all the world to be an ugly online feud between Trump and Musk over his “big beautiful bill,” the legislation now in the Senate that incorporates his presidential agenda, from tax cuts to immigration enforcement.
