After the public dispute between US President Donald Trump and American entrepreneur and former head of the Office of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk, escalated into a verbal spat across social media on Thursday. According to ABC News, citing sources, Musk has not yet responded to calls from the Trump administration, and the red Tesla car purchased by Trump in support of him is still parked at the White House.

ABC reported that two sources revealed that as of Thursday morning local time, Musk and President Trump had not yet spoken. Additionally, multiple sources told the media that during the period when Musk was criticizing the "Big and Beautiful" bill, several officials from the US government attempted to contact Musk and his representatives, but their calls and messages went unanswered. Previously, House Speaker Mike Johnson said he called Musk late Tuesday night but did not get an answer, and would continue to reach out to him.

ABC also cited sources saying that the red Tesla car purchased by Trump in support of Musk is still inside the White House building, but it is unclear whether it will remain there. The Associated Press (AP), which also reported this news, released a photo titled "Trump's Tesla Still Parked at the White House."

Reportedly, so far, the White House has declined ABC's request for comment, and Musk's side has not replied.

Trump commented on Musk on Thursday, saying he didn't know if he could maintain a good relationship with him. Trump expressed that he was "very disappointed" with Musk. After Trump made these remarks about Musk, Musk quickly responded and refuted them on social media, saying, "Completely wrong! I have never seen this bill, and it was rushed through late at night!" From Musk publicly supporting Trump in July 2024 to the breakdown of their relationship, within less than a year, they have reached a "complete estrangement" over a bill dubbed the "Big and Beautiful" act.
