President Trump has said he “could” patch things up with his former billionaire buddy, Elon Musk, but a potential reconciliation isn’t a top priority. Speaking with Post columnist Miranda Devine on the debut episode of “Pod Force One,” Trump said he doesn’t “blame” Musk for the blow-up of their alliance, but is “a little disappointed.” “Look, I have no hard feelings,” Trump, 78, said during a wide-ranging interview recorded Monday. “I was really surprised that that happened. He went after a bill that’s phenomenal. …He just — I think he feels very badly that he said that, actually.” Every week, Post columnist Miranda Devine sits down for exclusive and candid conversations with the most influential disruptors in Washington.

Things like that happen. I don’t blame him for anything. I was a little disappointed.” Musk, 53, publicly erupted in fury last week over the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which the Congressional Budget Office projects will add $3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade. The world’s richest man had spearheaded the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) cost-cutting initiative in an attempt to tackle the country’s soaring national debt, which is near $37 trillion. This past Thursday, Musk sniped that the president wouldn’t have won the 2024 election without him and accused Trump of displaying “such ingratitude.” Six days before the epic, public falling-out, Trump had convened a chummy Oval Office send-off for Musk as the Tesla and SpaceX CEO’s time as a special government employee came to a close. Trump had showered a black-eyed Musk with praise during the event and teased that his then-pal was “not really leaving.” “I guess I could, but we have to straighten out the country,” the president replied when asked if he and Musk could ever get back on good terms. “And my sole function now is getting this country back to a level higher than it’s ever been. And I think we can do that.” Trump had previously told reporters that Musk had “lost his mind” and gone “crazy.” The commander in chief even publicly mused about cutting off federal contracts for the tech mogul’s companies. “The poor guy’s got a problem,” Trump told CNN of his onetime ally in a brief phone call Friday, without elaborating. “You said he had problems. What kind of problems? I mean, is it the drugs?” Devine asked Trump. “I don’t know what his problem is, really. I don’t know,” the president replied. “I haven’t thought too much about him in the last little while, but the bill is so good.” Former Trump White House strategist Steve Bannon, who has pushed to deport Musk and have the federal government take over SpaceX, recently claimed that the tech mogul had body-checked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during a heated exchange in mid-April. The purported tussle came after Trump sided with Bessent’s choice over Musk’s pick to serve as acting IRS commissioner. Bessent had called Musk a “total fraud” before the billionaire rammed into Bessent’s rib cage “like a rugby player,” Bannon told the Washington Post. “Well, they had, not a fistfight, you know, but I guess they had a little bit of a shouting match,” Trump told Devine about the Musk-Bessent quarrel. “But that’s typical.” Musk has since made several public overtures towards Trump, responding with a heart emoji to a video clip the president wishing him “very well” at a White House event Monday.
