Trump also expressed disappointment in Musk while speaking to the journalists, CNN reports.
The US president said he was "very disappointed" with Musk because he did not approve the president's tax and spending bill.
"Elon and I had a great relationship. I don’t know if we will anymore," the American leader added.
According to the president, Musk knew all aspects of the bill in detail and had no complaints about it until his resignation.
Earlier, it was reported that Donald Trump was impressed by the Special Security Operation of the Security Service of Ukraine called 'Spiderweb'.
As a reminder, US Senator Lindsey Graham proposed an exception to the sanctions for countries that support Ukraine. This refers to the Graham-Blumenthal bill, which imposes a 500% tariff on countries that purchase energy from Russia.
