Former U.S. President Donald Trump has dismissed claims of a rift between himself and Tesla and X (formerly Twitter) CEO Elon Musk, stating that the media cannot drive a wedge between them. In a recent Fox News interview, Trump revealed that he and Musk had discussed how the media portrays their relationship, calling out reports of tension as exaggerated and misleading.
Trump insisted that he has respect for Musk, especially for his contribution to technology, business, and innovation. Although there have been disagreements between the two in the past, Trump played down the existence of any current conflict, positing that media stories tend to make unnecessary drama between powerful personalities.
Musk, who has publicly supported free speech and criticized media bias, has previously expressed mixed views about Trump’s policies and leadership style. However, both figures share a common stance on censorship, corporate influence, and media accountability, fueling speculation about their dynamic in the political and business landscape.
As Trump gears up for the 2024 U.S. presidential election, speculation continues about whether Musk will take a more active political role. Despite past disagreements, both remain key figures shaping political, technological, and economic discourse, making their relationship a subject of ongoing media interest.
