The US president and the world’s richest man continue to trade barbs after falling out in an extraordinarily public fashion
Donald Trump is not interested in talking with Elon Musk, a White House official said on Friday, signalling that the US president and his former ally might not resolve their feud over a sweeping tax-cut bill any time soon.
The White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said no phone call between Trump and the Tesla CEO was planned for the day. Earlier, a different White House official had said the two were going to talk.
In interviews with several US media outlets, Trump said he was focused on other matters.
“I’m not even thinking about Elon. He’s got a problem, the poor guy’s got a problem,” he told CNN.
