Tesla CEO Elon Musk and President Trump launched a war of words at each other Thursday over Musk’s criticism of the Republican’s “One Big, Beautiful” tax bill
—
President Donald Trump is “not interested” in having a call with Elon Musk to resolve their feud, a senior White House official told NBC News on Friday morning.
Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, separately told NBC that “there are no plans for that today,” when asked about a report by Politico that White House aides “scheduled a call Friday with the billionaire CEO of Tesla to broker a peace.”
But an administration official told NBC, “There could be anything – I’d like to de-escalate a very unfortunate situation.”
“There are no calls on the books at least not now,” the official said.
