Trump’s Latest Remarks on Elon Musk Spark Controversy
According to webangah News Agency, Donald Trump, the US President, stated that while he doesn’t oppose the idea of conversing with Elon Musk, the prominent American billionaire, he currently has no intention of reaching out to him.
When asked if he planned to contact Musk, Trump responded: “I haven’t really thought about it.I assume he might want to talk to me.”
He added: “Maybe he’s already called. You’d have to ask him whether he’s reached out or not. But I have no problem with it.”

The public feud between Musk and Trump escalated on June 5 after X’s owner criticized the former president during a farewell ceremony for a departing White House official.
