U.S. President Donald Trump is not interested in talking with his former ally Elon Musk, amid a bitter feud over the president’s sweeping tax-cut bill, a White House official said on Friday, adding that no phone call between the two men is planned for the day.
A separate White House official had said earlier that Trump and Musk were going to talk to each other on Friday.
Update:
Elon Musk has deleted an X post claiming that US President Donald Trump’s name was in the sealed Jeffrey Epstein files, suggesting that this is the real reason they remain classified.
On Thursday, Musk wrote: “Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.” He added: “Have a nice day, DJT! Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”
In another inflammatory post no longer visible in the entrepreneur’s X account, Musk responded “yes” to a message that said “Trump should be impeached” and Vice President JD Vance “should replace him.”
