Vice President JD Vance warned that Elon Musk is making a “huge mistake” by targeting former President Donald Trump in a wave of bitter and inflammatory social media attacks following their fallout.
In an interview released Friday, Vance described Musk’s harsh criticism as the outburst of an “emotional guy” frustrated by the situation.
“I hope Elon eventually comes back into the fold. Maybe that’s not possible now because he’s gone so nuclear,” Vance said.
His remarks follow recent calls from other Republicans urging the former allies, who once spent significant time together, to reconcile.
Musk’s torrent of social media posts attacking Trump came as the former president portrayed him as disgruntled and “CRAZY” and threatened to cut government contracts held by Musk’s businesses.
