Mr. Trump spoke directly about Elon Musk

While talking to reporters on Air Force One, US President Donald Trump openly shared about his relationship with billionaire Elon Musk.

Mr. Trump affirmed that he still “has feelings” for Elon Musk, even though the relationship between the two sides has become tense many times since the technology billionaire left the White House administration.

Mr. Trump commented that the rift in the relationship between him and Musk was “a very silly moment” in the billionaire’s life.

“Things are fine between me and Elon Musk. I like Elon, and I guess I always will. He’s a good guy and very capable,” Mr. Trump said.

President Trump and billionaire Musk had a close relationship during his 2024 election campaign. At that time, the billionaire financially supported Mr. Trump’s re-election fund of 290 million USD .

After Trump was elected President, Musk was appointed to head the Government Efficiency Agency. However, the relationship between the two men seriously broke down when Trump proposed a plan to increase the national debt ceiling, which Musk strongly opposed.

Elon Musk left the White House shortly after and has had public spats with Trump on social media. Musk has since apologized for some of the false accusations.

Mr. Trump’s latest comments about billionaire Musk show that he still maintains a soft attitude toward Musk. “He has made mistakes, but everyone has,” Mr. Trump said.

In addition, according to Fox News , on October 27, President Trump also revealed his recent health check-up at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

He insisted the results were “perfect,” but declined to say why he had his second checkup in a year. “I had an MRI. It was perfect. I released all the results,” Mr. Trump said.

The president said his medical team had provided a “very detailed report” to the media, but neither Mr. Trump nor the White House have ever publicly announced the specific reason for the unusual visit. According to annual practice, the US president only needs a general checkup once.

“I think the doctors gave you a very complete report, nobody has ever been as open as I am. If it wasn’t good, I would have said so. But the doctors said it was one of the best physicals they’ve ever seen for someone my age,” Trump said.

When reporters tried to ask the reason for the unusual general examination, the US President refused to answer, only saying: “Ask the doctor.”

Mr. Trump is currently 79 years old and is one of the oldest Presidents in American political history.

The White House announced this summer that Mr. Trump had undergone a medical examination due to swelling in his legs. The results showed that he had venous insufficiency, a condition that often occurs in older people.

In addition, Mr. Trump is also often noticed for the bruises often seen on his right hand. White House physician Sean Barbabella said these bruises appear because Mr. Trump has to “shake hands too often,” combined with taking aspirin, a drug that can increase the risk of bruising.
