Donald Trump, the former U.S. President, is having a big argument with Elon Musk, the head of Tesla and SpaceX. Because of this fight, Trump is now thinking about selling his Tesla car. This news was shared by CBS, a partner of the BBC in the U.S.
There were early reports that Trump and Musk might talk on the phone. But later, the White House said Trump has no plans to speak with Musk today.
Trump gave interviews to many American news channels. He called Musk “a man who has lost his mind.”
Elon Musk did not say much. He only replied “exactly” to a message online. That message said Musk only criticized Congress, but Trump is now attacking Musk personally.
This fight became public on Thursday. It started when Trump said he was upset with Musk for criticizing his government spending bill. Musk replied and said Trump was being ungrateful. Musk even claimed, “Without me, Trump would have lost the election.”
Musk owns many businesses, like Tesla and SpaceX, which do work for the U.S. government.
No More Friendship Between Trump and Musk
Trump and Musk used to be friendly. During the election campaign, they supported each other. But now, they are clearly not on good terms. It doesn’t look like they will become friends again soon.
CBS reports Trump might sell his Tesla car because of the argument. Some people thought the two might have a phone call, but Trump later said he has no interest in talking to “the man who has lost his mind.”
Musk Calls Steve Bannon a Criminal
Today, Musk didn’t speak much about Trump. Instead, he spoke against Steve Bannon, a former Trump aide. Musk called Bannon a “criminal.” This happened after Bannon said on his podcast that Trump should take over Musk’s company SpaceX.
Other Leaders Speak Out
Senator JD Vance said he stands strongly with Trump. House Speaker Mike Johnson said he hopes Trump and Musk can fix their relationship.
But there is also trouble from the other side. Democrats are asking for answers because Musk made a serious claim without any proof. Musk said that Trump’s name appears in secret government documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire who did bad things and later died in jail. The White House said Musk’s statement is false.
