WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said &#8220;Oh it&#8217;s okay,&#8221; when asked about his very public breakup with former ally and donor Elon Musk, POLITICO reported.
White House aides have, according to the outlet, also scheduled a call with Musk on Friday in the hope of diffusing the situation.
Trump and Musk&#8217;s unlikely political marriage exploded in a fiery public divorce Thursday, with the US president threatening to strip the billionaire of his huge government contracts.
Trump said in a televised Oval Office diatribe that he was &#8220;very disappointed&#8221; after his former aide and top donor criticised his &#8220;big, beautiful&#8221; spending bill before Congress.
The pair traded insults over social media, with Musk &#8211; who was Trump&#8217;s biggest campaign donor to the tune of US$300 million &#8211; claiming the Republican would not have won the 2024 election without his support.
But Trump played down the feud during his brief interview with POLITICO on Thursday.
&#8220;It&#8217;s going very well, never done better,&#8221; Trump told POLITICO before going on to tout his favourability ratings.
The row could have major political and economic fallout, as shares in Musk&#8217;s Tesla car company plunged and the South African-born tech tycoon vowed that he would end a critical US spaceship programme.
