Donald Trump Refuses to Reconcile With Elon Musk for Now

Elon Musk's backtracking seems to have fallen on deaf ears. Briefly News reported that Donald Trump and Elon Musk are still not on speaking terms following the deterioration of the relationship.

Trump stated that he has no plans to speak to the world's richest man yet, as he aims to get rid of his Tesla.

The feud has also proven to be costly to Musk as Tesla shares fell by 14% in one day. The car company’s shares plunged by $152 billion following the public spat. It wasn’t just Musk’s company that suffered; his personal net worth also dropped. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, the decline in Tesla’s share prices also knocked about $8.73bn off Musk’s total net worth.

Trump shared that the SpaceX owner wanted to talk to him, but that he was not interested. Musk has hinted at de-escalating the war of words, as noted by his response to fellow multibillionaire Bill Ackman. Ackman called for both men to make peace, saying the country was much stronger if both men were together than apart.

“You’re not wrong,” Musk replied.
