Peace offering rejected as Trump-Musk row deepens

Donald Trump is “not even thinking about” Elon Musk and may get rid of his showpiece Tesla Model S he said yesterday, signalling a continuation to their explosive and potentially expensive public feud.

The president reasserted his hostility after a spectacular and undignified social media spat with the billionaire, who spent $300m and claims to have helped Mr Trump win the US election.

Yesterday in Washington, Mr Trump was asked about reports of a peacemaking phone call with Mr Musk, to which he responded: “You mean the man who has lost his mind?

“I’m not even thinking about Elon. He’s got a problem, the poor guy’s got a problem.”

Shares in Tesla recovered slightly yesterday after dropping 14 per cent and losing $150bn in value following Mr Trump’s threat to cut off government contracts with Mr Musk’s companies.
