Trump ‘Not Interested’ In Talking As Musk Continues To Make Case Against BBB

Trump ‘Not Interested’ In Talking As Musk Continues To Make Case Against BBB

Musk made postings on X that suggested he was open to a path forward

After Thursday’s grand meltdown between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump over the Big Beautiful Bill, it looked like things were set to simmer down – with Musk posting several things on X that suggested he was open to a path forward, while the Trump White House had scheduled a call with Musk, Politico reported.

On Friday morning, however, it was clear that Trump isn’t ready to mend fences – he doesn’t want to talk to Musk, and is looking to sell his Tesla – while Musk spent the morning (so far) making clear that Congress needs to fix government spending or America is going to be in a world of hurt. 

“I’m not even thinking about Elon. He’s got a problem. The poor guy’s got a problem,” Trump told CNN in a brief phone call. When asked if he had a call with Musk, Trump replied “No. I won’t be speaking to him for a while I guess, but I wish him well.”

To recap:

• Earlier in the week, Musk came out against the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ – which raises the debt ceiling by $5 trillion, and either raises the deficit by $2.4 trillion, or lowers it by $1.4 trillion – depending on who you believe, and fails to address any of the waste, fraud and abuse found by DOGE. 

• Thursday morning, Trump was asked about Musk’s opposition to the bill, telling reporters on Thursday that he’s ‘very disappointed in Elon,’ and that Musk only opposes the bill because they eliminated electric vehicle tax credits from it.

• Trump then suggested he might pull government funding from Musk’s companies such as SpaceX, which owns the only operational US spacecraft capable of transporting astronauts to and from the International Space Station. 

“The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!” -President Donald Trump via Truth Social

• Musk went ballistic – announcing he would ‘immediately‘ decommission the Dragon program (which he later walked back Thursday night), proposed a new political party (that’s still his pinned post on X), endorsed another Trump impeachment, and said Trump is ‘in the Epstein files,’ which is why they haven’t been released. 

Peacemakers emerged – such as former State Department official Mike Benz, who defended Musk and called for the two to patch

“The only thing that I can say about President Trump is that he is the only person who, in 2009… is the only person who picked up the phone and said, let’s just talk.”

We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
