Musk feud blew up, a key DOGE-minded lawmaker in Congress had some pointed words about the world's richest man.

Speaker Mike Johnson is mounting a multi-front rebuttal to the billionaire's criticism — and trying to keep the backlash contained.

Elon Musk clashes with President Donald Trump and GOP leaders over spending cuts, questioning their commitment despite promises to reduce the nation's $37 trillion debt.

A senior White House official told NBC News earlier Friday that the president is "not interested" in a call with the tech billionaire.

Musk and Trump, ostensibly political allies over cuts to federal spending, publicly clashed on June 5 in a series of exchanges across social media and in comments to reporters. The origin of the dispute is the impact Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill has on U.S. public debt.
