Donald Trump Says Elon Musk Fallout 'Hurt' Him, Vows 'Never' to Trust Billionaire as $100 Million GOP Push Looms

Donald Trump admits his nuclear fallout with Elon Musk "hurt" him.

According to The Wall Street Journal, "Privately, Trump says he and Musk will never be as close as they once were, according to the president’s aides."

A little while back, Trump tapped Musk to oversee DOGE in an attempt to cull government spending.

While that attempt was unsuccessful, it did not take long for the duo's relationship to sour. This even resulted in the centibillionaire stating in a tweet that Trump's name was all over the Epstein files and "that is the real reason they have not been made public."

Meanwhile, reports from the WSJ also say that Musk is planning to save Trump's approval ratings, which are currently in the gutter ahead of the midterms.

Apparently, the Tesla CEO is planning to spend at least $100 million through a PAC on a voter-turnout scheme, as reported by Axios.

He is also reported to be reviving his dormant fundraising organization, America PAC, to invest heavily in door-knocking, digital advertising, and direct mail aimed at energizing conservative voters who are less likely to cast ballots in off-years.

Trump's senior political advisor, James Blair, already commented on how much America PAC helped previously, saying it was an "essential partner for our historic GOTV operation in 2024, and their return for 2026 is a huge boost for Republicans across the country."

After all that drama where the two men publicly traded withering barbs, new reports suggest that the mutually beneficial relationship between Trump and Musk might not be dead after all.

Trump’s aides said he still remembers the fallout with Musk. While he may accept Musk’s financial support, they said their relationship will never be as close as it once was.

Still, according to people who know about their phone calls, Trump and Musk are reportedly back on talking terms, though tentatively, just once a month. Plus, the calls are strictly work-related, with them discussing China, world events, and artificial intelligence.

A spokesperson also told WSJ that the current President "has built the greatest coalition in the history of American politics, full of patriots like Elon Musk who are deeply committed to preserving all of the historic accomplishments of this administration."
