Donald Trump weighed-in on his very public feud with billionaire Elon Musk and claimed he is open to forgiving his former ‘first buddy.’
The president said he has ‘no hard feelings’ but was ‘surprised’ when Musk turned against him over massive spending legislation dubbed the Big Beautiful Bill.
Asked by Pod Force One host Miranda Devine if he could forgive Musk, Trump said: ‘I guess I could.’
‘I have no hard feelings,’ he admitted. ‘But I was really surprised that that happened.’
‘He went after a bill that’s phenomenal, it’s the best thing we’ve ever signed in this country,’ Trump told the New York Post podcast host. ‘And when he did that I was not a happy camper. So, it’s too bad.’
Musk admitted overnight that he was wrong to publish some of the posts he made last week that kicked off a civil war within the MAGAverse.
President Donald Trump says he has ‘no hard feelings’ against Elon Musk after a week of the pair of billionaires publicly slinging insults back-and-forth
‘I regret some of my posts about President DonaldTrump last week. They went too far,’ the SpaceX and Tesla boss posted to his social media platform X just after 3:00 a.m. on Wednesday morning.
He did not specify which posts he regretted making but the pair of billionaires exchanged multiple public insults as their spat exploded into the public earlier this month.
The public signal of contrition from Musk brings some relief to Republicans on Capitol Hill, who are desperate to avoid divisions as they continue work on Trump’s signature tax‑and‑spending legislation.
Musk even claimed on X that Trump didn’t want to publish the Epstein Files fully because he is named in them. He also posted support for impeachment, but has since deleted that one.
Trump told ABC News that Musk had ‘lost his mind.’
Devine pressed Trump in the podcast interview published on Wednesday on what he thinks is wrong with the tech billionaire.
‘I don’t know what his problem is really, I don’t know,’ Trump replied. ‘I haven’t thought much about it in the last little while. I think he feels very badly, he said that, actually.’
It seems the whole ordeal stemmed from Trump’s massive spending legislation that passed the House on May 22. Musk disagreed with the bill and said that it flew in the face of the efforts he made as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
In the feud, Musk began reposting sentiments from Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who is vocal in his opposition of the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
