#特朗普马斯克分歧

When asked about his public falling out with Musk, Trump said, "Oh, it's fine." He also mentioned that things are going very smoothly, better than ever before.

White House aides have arranged a call with Musk on Friday to facilitate reconciliation and attempt to ease the current tensions. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment late Thursday regarding the possibility of easing tensions.

Earlier, Trump also met with the new German Chancellor Merz in the Oval Office to discuss the tense relations between the U.S. and Europe. He also recalled an event he hosted for Musk last week, noting that his eyes were black at the time. "I asked him if he wanted to put on some makeup? But he said, 'No, I don't think so,' which was interesting and nice," Trump said on Thursday. "He always wants to be himself."
