Trump Has No Plans to Speak with Musk Amid Tax Bill Feud

US President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk are embroiled in a public feud centered on a sweeping Republican tax-cut and spending bill that Musk has criticized as harmful and fiscally irresponsible. Despite their prior close political alliance, Trump has stated he has no plans to speak with Musk and is reviewing Musk's extensive federal contracts, including Tesla's subsidies and SpaceX's government deals. Trump has expressed that he hopes Musk does well with Tesla but suggested he might sell the red Tesla Model S he purchased earlier this year. Musk, meanwhile, continues to voice his opposition to the bill on social media and has called for a new political party to represent middle Americans. Sources suggest Musk's anger has begun to subside, and there may be potential for reconciliation, though Trump remains focused on other national and foreign policy issues. The dispute marks a significant deterioration in relations, with Trump also reportedly questioning Musk's recent behavior privately.
