MOSCOW (Sputnik) - American billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk wished US President Donald Trump well amid a feud with him.
Musk was commenting on X on a video where Trump is telling White House press pool reporters about Musk: "I just wish him well."
"Likewise," Musk wrote on X.
A bitter online exchange unfolded on Thursday between Trump and Musk, with the latter claiming that the president would have lost the 2024 election without his support and that the Democrats would have controlled the House.
Trump replied that Musk "just went CRAZY" after he left his role as the head of the US Department of Government Efficiency and added that terminating government contracts and subsidies received by the companies belonging to the US billionaire would have been the "easiest way to save money" for the US budget. Musk has been vocally critical of Trump's One Big, Beautiful Bill on tax cuts and government borrowing limits.
Trump has been attributing Elon Musk’s recent provocative comments to the effects of certain drugs, The New York Times reported, citing sources.
Over the past 24 hours, Trump has been telling his associates that Musk’s "crazy" behavior was linked to his drugs, the newspaper said on Friday, citing two people with knowledge of Trump’s private comments.
Earlier this month, Musk criticized a New York Times article alleging that the tech entrepreneur took drugs when he became one of Trump's closest allies. Musk said on X that the newspaper "was lying" and that he only tried prescription ketamine a few years ago.
In 2023, the Wall Street Journal published an article claiming that Musk was taking ketamine. In January 2024, the publication reported, citing sources, that Musk continued to use a variety of drugs, especially ketamine, which could have serious consequences not only for his health, but also for the companies under his leadership.
Trump said earlier this week that Musk "just went crazy" after he left his role as the head of the US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
