Could Trump's 'muted' attacks on Musk signal a future makeup – or a plan to prosecute him? | DW News

US President Donald Trump said he has no plans to talk to billionaire Elon Musk following their public feud. Speaking on board Air Force One, Trump said he was "not particularly interested" in speaking to Musk, dismissing reports of a planned phone call to reconcile things. He threatened again to review government contracts with Musk's businesses, which include Space-X and satellite company Starlink. The extremely influential men fell out, after Musk criticized the president's 'big beautiful bill,' which will see a surge in state spending. On Saturday, Trump signalled that there were would be "consequences" for Musk if he were to donate to the Democratic Party.
