The White House responds to a reported communication between Trump and Musk amid ongoing tensions.
The White House has addressed the recent communication between former President
Donald Trump and technology entrepreneur
Elon Musk, following a phone call that reportedly took place on Monday.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated that the Biden administration has not taken any steps regarding government contracts related to Musk's companies.
According to reports, Trump received a call from Musk during which Musk expressed regret about certain social media posts he made the previous week.
This phone call comes after a series of public disagreements between the two prominent figures.
Last week, Trump articulated his lack of desire to mend his relationship with Musk, indicating that he believes their interactions are concluded.
Trump remarked that the Republican Party appears to be more united since the disagreements with Musk, asserting that he has no plans to speak with the entrepreneur in the near future.
"I'm too busy with other things.
I have no intention of speaking with him," Trump stated, emphasizing that he feels Musk has shown disrespect towards the presidency.
This latest development occurs against the backdrop of Musk's significant influence in various sectors, including transportation and space exploration, through his companies
Tesla and SpaceX.
The implications of this relationship and its evolution are closely monitored as both figures hold substantial sway in their respective fields.
