Elon Musk took some major steps to distance himself from the Donald Trump administration when he understood that he was at a point of no return, the way he waged his war against the president and his ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’. While he unfollowed several members of the administration, he also changed his phone number to remain unreachable. Speaker Mike JohnsMon revealed on the latest episode of Pod Force One that he did not know that Elon changed his phone number and sent him a long message after the big blow-up. But the messages were going somewhere else and he never read them, Mike revealed. “I sent him a long text message, and then his phone number changed, because after the blow-up, something happened with his,” Johnson told The New York Post’s Miranda Devine. “[Later I] realized I was sending it out into the ether somewhere and he never read it, so I look forward to meeting with him in person,” the Speaker said. Elon Musk was reached out to through a third party, Johnson confirmed. On what irked Elon Musk so much that he went to the extent of registering a third party ‘America Party’, Johnson said Elon Musk got unhappy over a very short period of time. “I mean, he generally knew what we were doing, and we talked about it. I mean, he knew for months, many months we worked on this, and I was keeping him apprised of it.”“The final product maybe didn’t meet all of his expectations in terms of what we’re doing, for example, with electric vehicles and the Biden mandates and all of that,” Johnson told Devine. “But there are other things as well.”“But look, I let other people judge that. I’ve got to keep my eyes on the prize and keep going forward, and I’m trying to be a peacemaker in all of it.”“Look, Elon is a genius,” the Speaker said. “He does things that I can’t even fathom, but one of his fields of expertise was not necessarily crafting legislation, right?”Will there ever be a patch-up?Johnson said there will not be any overnight patch-up between Trump and Musk. “We can’t fix this stuff overnight, but we have a plan to do it, and I think that’s going to be pleasing to everybody who’s worried about our deficit and our debt,” Johnson said.
