U.S. President Trump continued to fire shots at Musk on the 6th, calling Musk 'pathetic' and 'problematic', and stated that he will not be speaking with him for the time being.
In an interview with CNN, he said: 'He (Musk) has problems, this pathetic guy has problems. I will not speak to him for now, but I wish him all the best.'
Trump also stated in a Fox News interview that Musk is 'out of control.'
Despite media reports that the White House had arranged for Musk and Trump to have a phone call on the 6th to ease tensions, White House officials have denied this, saying 'the President does not intend to speak with Musk that day' and is even considering selling the red Tesla he bought in March this year.
A 'war of words' between Trump and Musk publicly erupted on the 5th, with both parties exchanging increasingly harsh rhetoric. Trump called Musk 'crazy', while Musk called Trump 'ungrateful.'
