US President Donald Trump has said his relationship with Elon Musk is over.
"I would assume so, yeah", Trump told NBC News on Saturday, when asked if he thought the pair's close relationship had ended. He replied "No" when asked if he wished to mend the damaged ties.
The comments were Trump's most extensive remarks since the epic fallout between him and Musk unravelled on social media.
It came after the tech billionaire - who donated millions to Trump's election campaign and became a White House aide - publicly criticised one of the president's key domestic policies, his tax and spending bill.
A majority of Republicans have fallen in line behind the president, with Vice-President JD Vance saying that Musk may never be welcomed back into the fold because he had "gone so nuclear".
