Trump is talking about Musk again — but not inviting him to the White House
“He’s got 80% super genius, and then 20% he’s got some problems.”
Are the boys fighting again? President Donald Trump is at least talking about Tesla CEO Elon Musk after their multiple blowouts this summer sent Tesla’s stock into a tailspin.
“He’s got 80% super genius, and then 20% he’s got some problems,” Trump said of Musk on conservative talk radio program “The Scott Jennings Show,” which aired yesterday.
“I always liked him. I like him now. But he went off the reservation and he wished he didn’t do it,” Trump said, calling Musk “a man of common sense.” Trump added that he thinks Musk will rejoin the Republican Party after his own third party, the America Party, didn’t get off the ground.
Before this, one of the last things Trump said publicly about Musk was that he’d gone completely “off the rails” and was a “TRAIN WRECK.”
Separately, The Hill reported last night that the White House has snubbed Musk by not inviting him to a dinner Thursday for leading tech executives in the Rose Garden. Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, Apple’s Tim Cook, Google’s Sundar Pichai, Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, and OpenAI’s Sam Altman are all on the list. Musk, who previously worked at the White House, is not.
We’ll see if Musk takes the bait — either from the comments or the snub —this time, but as of 9:45 a.m. ET, Musk has not posted about the president on X.
