This conflict escalated following a series of strong statements from both parties, where Trump dismissed Musk&#8217;s relevance in the upcoming 2024 elections and threatened to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >end federal contracts related<\/a> to Musk&#8217;s businesses. Musk retaliated by suggesting Trump wouldn&#8217;t have succeeded in past elections without his support and alleged that Trump was withholding certain documents that could implicate him in scandals.<\/p>\n<p>Following the public fallout, Trump took a calmer tone in later interviews, expressing sympathy for Musk&#8217;s perceived issues and downplaying any urgency for reconciliation. He noted that he wasn&#8217;t particularly interested in resuming dialog with Musk. Meanwhile,Musk showed a desire for peace,agreeing with calls for the two to reconcile and emphasizing their combined strength. However,he reiterated critical points regarding Trump&#8217;s past actions and their potential consequences.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump tries to put Musk feud behind him: &lsquo;Won&rsquo;t be speaking to him for a while&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2141333\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump\">Donald Trump<\/a> <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">sought to put his&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3432816\/trump-musk-simmering-feud-tax-bill-ev-mandates\/\" target=\"_blank\">explosive feud<\/a>&nbsp;with former ally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/elon-musk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Elon Musk\">Elon Musk<\/a> be<\/span>hind him, saying the tech mogul had &ldquo;lost his mind&rdquo; and that he &ldquo;won&rsquo;t be speaking to him for a while.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-worst-sin-in-the-world-the-worlds-orthodox-churches-condemn-russias-war-on-ukraine\/\" title=\"\u2018The Worst Sin In The World\u2019: The World\u2019s Orthodox Churches Condemn Russia\u2019s War On Ukraine\">simmering feud<\/a> between Trump and Musk <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3433203\/one-big-beautiful-breakup-elon-musk-donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"erupted dramatically\">erupted dramatically<\/a> on Thursday, with a series of extraordinary statements.
