Trump and Musk had a public falling out this week after the billionaire, who worked part-time for the federal government until last month, waged a war on the president's tax bill over it's projected $2.5 trillion price tag.

The fight spiraled as the pair traded attacks, and the two men stopped speaking. Trump told reporters on June 6 that he was not interested in reconciling with Musk.

“Honestly, I’ve been so busy working on China, working on Russia, working on Iran ... I’m not thinking about Elon Musk," Trump told reporters riding with him on Air Force One to his New Jersey golf club.
