Peace Call: Trump and Musk on Phone, Amidst Public Squabble Stir
Two influential figures, Donald Trump and Elon Musk, ought to engage in a telephone conversation, fostering potential harmony between them.
In an attempt to calm the bustling feud between Donald Trump and tech titan Elon Musk, White House advisors have reportedly planned a phone call between the two. According to Politico, a conversation is scheduled to mend the public spat, which has stirred quite a commotion.
Meanwhile, President Trump appears unbothered by his rift with Musk, who supported him during his election campaign and served as a government advisor until recently. When asked about the dispute, Trump's nonchalant response was, "Oh, that's fine. It's going very well, never better." Musk echoed a similar sentiment, acknowledging the call for peace in response to a tweet by hedge fund manager Bill Ackman: "You're not wrong."
Tesla Tides Turn with Call Anticipation
Following the report of the planned call, the Tesla stock increased by more than five percent at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The disputes between Trump and Musk have been primarily centered around bills proposing comprehensive tax and spending reforms, which would implement large parts of Trump's political agenda but significantly increase the national debt.
Trump had threatened to withdraw government contracts from Musk's company, while Musk expressed support for an impeachment procedure against Trump. The disagreement arose in response to Trump's objections to the bill's elimination of tax credits for electric vehicles, a point that Musk critically opposed, labeling the bill a "disgusting abomination."
Interestingly, last week, Trump praised Musk's work as head of the cost-cutting task force Doge, which resulted in thousands of job cuts and secured government contracts worth billions.
While there's no widely reported instance of advisors scheduling a call between Trump and Musk specifically concerning the U.S. debt crisis, both figures have been actively engaged in political and economic discussions. Musk has advocated for more progressive taxation and has sometimes criticized policies harmful to the environment, whereas Trump has campaigned for lower taxes, fewer regulations, and a protectionist trade policy.
