According to foreign media such as The Beast Daily in the United States, on the 11th, U.S. Vice President Vance stated that he hopes that American entrepreneur and former "Department of Government Efficiency" chief Elon Musk will return to Trump's camp before the midterm elections in Congress. According to Vance, if an American is patriotic, they would not "stab the president in the back."

A video interview published by the U.S. conservative right-wing website Gateway Pundit on August 10 shows that Vance mentioned that his relationship with Musk has been tense since the U.S. President Trump facilitated the passage of the "Big and Beautiful" tax and spending bill by Congress.

"Clearly, his relationship with the Trump administration is now very complicated," said Vance. "My view of Elon is: even if you want to stand on the (political) left, it's impossible, they will never accept you. That path is no longer viable. Therefore, I think his attempt to break away from the president is wrong. I hope that by the midterm elections, he can return to this camp."

In the interview, Vance said, "I don't know if he will answer my call now," then clarified that he was just "joking," he said, "I believe he will answer my call, but honestly, the dramatic events surrounding him and the White House over the past few months... I hope there can be some easing."

Vance also mentioned that Musk helped the Republican Party win the U.S. election, and cited Trump's statement that Musk's behavior reflected his personal frustration.

"My attitude is to be as magnanimous as possible on such matters," Vance added. "For example, if you are patriotic, you won't stab the president in the back, you won't betray this movement. I don't care about these trivial differences and issues. We must win the victory together with the entire movement. This is the attitude I strive to uphold."
