Elon Musk has responded to Mike Johnson‘s complaints that the Tesla CEO wasn’t taking his calls.
Johnson told reporters on Wednesday that he had tried to call Musk on Tuesday, after his very vocal criticism of President Donald Trump‘s budget bill, but that he had not picked up. The House Speaker added that Musk still had not returned his call, as of Wednesday morning.
On Wednesday afternoon, Musk responded to a post on X with a clip of Johnson’s comments and quoted him as saying, “I called Elon Musk last night and he didn’t answer.”
While Musk did not address his lack of communication directly, he wrote, “We need a new bill that doesn’t grow the deficit.”
