Trump says Elon Musk "has lost his mind" following explosive public feud
Good evening and it's great to have you with us here Friday night.
We'll get to these storms, the tornado threat and that scene at LaGuardia Airport here in New York City and images of the storm hitting Boston all of it in a moment here.
Lee, of course, has the forecast.
But we do begin tonight with President Trump talking to ABC News about Elon Musk.
Tonight, President Trump telling our Jonathan Karl that Musk, quote, "has lost his mind."
And what the president said just moments ago about whether he has any plans to talk with Musk.
ABC's chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Correll leading us off, after talking with the president about Musk amid this explosive feud between the two men.
A day after his explosive breakup with Elon Musk, President Trump told me, "Musk is quote the man who has lost his mind, adding that Musk wants to talk to him, but he's quote not particularly interested in talking to Musk right now."
In just a moment to go, ABC's Rachel Scott asking Trump about Musk.
"You have any plans to speak with Mr. Musk?
This was one of his closest advisors."
I don't have any plans.
Sources close to the president tell me Trump is telling people that Musk's outburst happened because he's using drugs.
I asked Trump about that, but he wouldn't comment on the record.
The president later told CNN about Musk, quote, "He's got a problem.
The poor guy's got a problem."
This after yesterday's spectacle, which began when Trump in the Oval Office reacted to Musk's escalating attacks on his budget bill, which Musk has called a, quote, disgusting abomination.
I'm very disappointed in Elon.
I've helped Elon a lot.
Musk was watching and while Trump was still speaking, he fired back.
Posting, without me, Trump would have lost the election, such in gratitude.
Trump responded on his own social media, suggesting Musk was just another disgruntled former employee, saying, quote, "Elon was wearing thin.
disgruntled [dɪsˋgrʌnt!d] adj. 不满的;不悦的
wear thin 逐渐失去作用或消失
I asked him to leave."
He also threatened to cut Musk's $20 billion dollars in government contracts.
Musk went nuclear, suggesting Trump should be impeached and then going even further, linking Trump and notorious sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein.
go nuclear: to get extremely angry and start behaving in a forceful or irrational way as a result
Time to drop the really big bomb Musk posted on X.
Real Donald Trump is in the Epstein files.
That is the real reason they have not been made public.
That explosive accusation caught everyone by surprise.
FBI director Cash Patel, hearing what Musk had said while he was in the middle of an interview with podcaster Joe Rogan.
Jesus Christ, that's a crazy thing to say.
How does he know?
Does he know that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files?
Or does he have access to the Epstein files?
I don't know how he would, but I'm just staying out of the Trump-Elon thing.
That's way outside my lane.
What the fuck are they doing?
I know my lane and that ain't it.
But overnight, it seemed like both Musk and the President were trying to tone things down.
tone down 讓…緩和
When one of Trump's top supporters posted, they should make peace for the benefit of our great country.
We are much stronger together than apart.
Musk responded, "You're not wrong."
And sources tell ABC News that the White House is considering either selling or giving away that red Tesla Model S that Trump bought with some fanfare back in March as a show of support for Elon Musk.
fanfare [ˋfæn͵fɛr] n. 夸耀;炫耀
Trump was just asked about this on Air Force One and he said he hasn't really thought about it.
John Carl and the conversation, John, thank you.

We ask about that brazen drone attack on Russia.

"You had Russian drivers who had no idea."
"They didn't know."

"The drivers didn't know what they do."
"Yeah, they just did their job."
And three years into this bloody war, we ask the Ukrainian leader to respond to this comment from President Trump comparing it to two children fighting in the park.
Sometimes you see two young children fighting like crazy.
They hate each other and they're fighting in a park.
And you try and pull them apart.
They don't want to be pulled.
Sometimes you better off letting them fight for a while and then pulling them apart.
Do you think the president is getting that message when he says things like it's two children fighting?
"It's not about President Trump, Zelensky told me.
It's really about any person who is thousands of miles away and cannot fully feel and understand this pain.
Adding, we are not kids with Putin at the playground.
He is a murderer who came to this park to kill the kids."
And, David, President Zelensky telling me he does not believe that Putin wants peace and is urging President Trump and world leaders to put much stronger sanctions on Russia.
Meanwhile, here in Ukraine, those intense Russian bombings continue.
David.

She'll be in Kiev.
