Washington: US President Donald Trump has acknowledged Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s apology for his recent comments, said White House. It signalling a possible cooling of tensions between the two high-profile figures.

US Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt in media conference at White House on Wednesday said that the President acknowledged the statement that Elon put out this morning and he is appreciative of it. We are continuing to focus on the business of the American people.

When asked if the Trump administration had begun reviewing Musk’s Government contracts, something the President had earlier indicated was under consideration, he clarified. Currently no efforts have been made on that front as far as I’m aware, he added.

Musk personally called Trump on Monday night and later issued a public statement on Wednesday expressing regret over his social media remarks that fueled last week’s very public fallout, according to the media reports.
