Fears grow that the feud could derail legislative priorities.
Concerned about the potential fallout, Republican leaders are encouraging US President Donald Trump and Elon Musk to resolve their differences.
The escalating tension between the two figures could jeopardize the progress of Republican-backed tax and border spending legislation, championed by Trump but criticized by musk.
US vice president JD Vance expressed concern, stating Musk was making a “huge mistake” going after Mr trump.
Vance, in a recent interview, attempted to downplay Musk’s harsh words, attributing them to an “emotional guy” reacting out of frustration.
“I hope that eventually Elon comes back into the fold. Maybe that’s not possible now because he’s gone so nuclear,” Vance said.
Vance’s plea echoes similar sentiments from other Republicans who, despite the recent animosity, recall a time when the two men were allies. They are now urging them to mend their “differences”.
Representative Dan Newhouse, a Republican from Washington state, hopes the situation won’t be a distraction: “I hope it doesn’t distract us from getting the job done that we need to,” said representative Dan Newhouse, a Republican from washington state. “I think that it will boil over and they’ll mend fences.”
As of Friday afternoon, Musk shifted his focus to his various “companies” on social media, avoiding further direct attacks on the president.
Trump left the White House for his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, without addressing reporters’ questions about the dispute with Musk.
Senator Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican, voiced his hope on Fox News with host Sean Hannity: “I hope that both of them come back together because when the two of them are working together, we’ll get a lot more done for America than when they’re at cross purposes,”
