Trump says he ‘wasn’t happy’ with Elon Musk & reveals moment X boss turned on him…but leaves the door open to reconcile
DONALD Trump has said he is “disappointed” with Elon Musk following their public row last week – but has left the door open to making amends with the billionaire.
The president made the remarks to Miranda Devine on the debut episode of the New York Post’s Pod Force One podcast.
While he made it clear he wasn’t happy with the spat, Trump left the door open to a reconciliation – although said he doesn’t see it as a priority.
“Look, I have no hard feelings,” Trump told the podcast.
“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.”
Musk and Trump’s online row ignited last week, with the pair exchanging barbs over social media channels.
The Tesla and SpaceX boss blasted Trump’s flagship spending bill, which he believes with further balloon the US national debt.
Musk also shared posts on X suggesting Trump was named in the “Epstein files” and calling for the president to be impeached.
He has since expressed regret over “some” of the comments he made during the row.
Trump hit back at Musk on Truth Social, suggesting the billionaire is a “big-time drug addict”.
“I was disappointed in him, but, you know, it is what it is”, Trump told the podcast.
“That happens. Things like that happen. I don’t blame him for anything. I was a little disappointed.”
Just days before their falling out, Trump had held a send-off for Musk in the Oval Office as the billionaire bowed out of his government role.
When asked by Devine whether Trump could get back on warmer terms with Musk, the president didn’t rule out a reconciliation.
He said: “I guess I could, but we have to straighten out the country.
“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 added that “Elon agrees” with the merchandised catchphrase “Trump was right about everything”.
It marks a change of tone from Trump just days after he said Musk had “lost his mind.”
Devine asked him: “You said he had problems. What kind of problems? I mean, is it the drugs?”
“I don’t know what his problem is, really. I don’t know,” Trump replied.
“I haven’t thought too much about him in the last little while, but the bill is so good.”
Musk had been one of Trump’s most ardent supporters during last year’s presidential election.
But he hasn’t shied away from criticising some of the administration’s policies, such as around tariffs.
While Musk has backed down from some of his most strident comments about Trump last week, it remains unclear if the pair will fully reconcile.
Trump had warned there would be “serious consequences” if Musk financially backed his political opponents.

Emma mattress FAQs
Are Emma mattresses any good?
For us at Sun Shopping, the answer to this question is a resounding yes.
Whether you opt for the economical Emma Original or the more luxurious Emma Premium mattress, we think you’re getting value for money and giving yourself the best chance of a good night’s sleep.
It is important to do your research to figure out exactly what specifications you need from a mattress.
In the Emma premium mattress review, our tester noted that “Having a high-quality mattress has truly levelled up my sleep game”.
This will help you buy one that’s right for your requirements and needs, and will hopefully ensure longevity and overall satisfaction.
Which Emma mattress is best?
The Emma NextGen Premium Mattress is a great all-rounder.
It has a combination of memory foam, springs and cooling technology, so it ticks the boxes for anyone wanting the most bang for their buck.
That’s not to say we don’t love the Emma Original Mattress, though, and the single version is ideal for children — check out our Emma Kids’ Single Mattress review to find out more.
Make sure you add the discount code THESUN for an extra 5% off any Emma item.
Are Emma mattresses any good for side sleepers?
Emma doesn’t exclusively reference mattress technology specifically for side sleepers, however, the NextGen Cooling mattress does offer full body pressure relief and support.
The mattress has seven different pocket spring zones, which provide specific support to different areas of the body.
This particular Emma mattress has received plenty of positive reviews online.
Fans have shared their thoughts on the quality of the design and improved sleep, with one reviewer stating it has created an “optimum balance between support and comfort”.
Our own tester, “who sleeps chaotically on all sides,” also gave the mattress top marks in our best cooling mattress roundup.
What is the life expectancy of an Emma mattress?
Emma offers shoppers a 10-year guarantee on all its mattresses, a policy that starts as soon as you receive your mattress.
If you encounter any problems with your mattress, Emma’s customer service will assist you in resolving the issue, including swapping out your faulty mattress for a new one.
A mattress is certainly an investment piece, so Emma customers can also make the most of the brand’s 200-day sleep trial.
It means you get enough time to really road-test your mattress in real life and decide if it works for you.
What is the firmness of an Emma mattress?
Emma’s mattresses are rated using a scale to explain how firm their mattresses are.
The firmness of Emma’s mattresses is the product of premium extra-tall springs aiding support and correct spinal alignment.
A majority of Emma mattresses are scored with a medium-firm rating, and customer reviews suggest that the Simba Hybrid is firmer than Emma mattresses.
However, it is important to do your own research to find a mattress that best suits you.
If you do purchase an Emma mattress, you can trial it for up to 200 days to make sure it is right for you.
What are the disadvantages of the Emma mattress?
While Emma consistently ranks among the UK’s top mattress brands, there are some potential downsides worth considering before you commit.
First, several customers report that Emma mattresses tend to sleep warmer than advertised.
Despite the cooling technology, hot sleepers may find the heat retention problematic, particularly with the all-foam models.
The price point sits firmly in the premium category. Even with impressive discounts, you’re still looking at a significant investment compared to budget alternatives, though the quality generally justifies this.
Some users note a longer-than-average break-in period, with firmness levels feeling excessive during the first few weeks before the materials properly adjust to your body.
