Trump Says He Expects Elon Musk To Back Trump Accounts
Speaking in an interview with CNBC’s Joe Kernen from the Oval Office, Trump said he has not spoken with Musk recently but maintains a positive relationship with the Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) and SpaceX CEO despite their recent policy disagreements.
“I haven’t,” Trump said when asked whether he had spoken with Musk since the entrepreneur became a trillionaire. “I wrote him a note. I said, ‘Congratulations, very good.’ I have a very good relationship with Elon.”
Trump acknowledged that the two clashed over his administration’s rollback of electric vehicle mandates.
