President Trump dismisses Elon Musk, accusing him of "totally lost it," and refuses to engage with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO.
President Donald Trump dismissed the idea of engaging with SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk during an interview on Friday, declaring, "Elon's totally lost it." The former president's comments come amid mounting speculation over Musk's growing involvement in political discourse and his recent suggestions about forming a new political party.
Trump made his remarks during a televised conversation with Bret Baier, where he addressed concerns about potential challenges to his influence within the Republican Party. When pressed about Musk's political aspirations and high profile, Trump responded bluntly, stating he has no interest in opening a dialogue with the billionaire entrepreneur.

Trump insisted that his position in the party remains secure, despite recent headlines surrounding prominent figures like Musk voicing criticism and considering new political ventures.
This remains a developing story as both Trump and Musk continue to dominate the national conversation. Updates will follow as more information becomes available.
