Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DONALD Trump has said he is "disappointed" with Elon Musk following their public row last week - but has left the door open to making amends with the billionaire. The president made the remarks to Miranda Devine on the debut episode of the New York Post's Pod Force One podcast.

"Look, I have no hard feelings," Trump told the podcast. "I was really surprised that that happened. He went after a bill that's phenomenal. "He just — I think he feels very badly that he said that, actually." Most read in The US Sun FINAL BREATH Death row killer made last hand gesture before being suffocated to death Musk and Trump's online row ignited last week, with the pair exchanging barbs over social media channels. The Tesla and SpaceX boss blasted Trump's flagship spending bill, which he believes with further balloon the US national debt. Musk also shared posts on X suggesting Trump was named in the "Epstein files" and calling for the president to be impeached. He has since expressed regret over "some" of the comments he made during the row. Musk posted on X that some of his comments "went too far". Trump hit back at Musk on Truth Social, suggesting the billionaire is a "big-time drug addict". "I was disappointed in him, but, you know, it is what it is", Trump told the podcast. Trump crushes 'peace talk' hopes with Musk as he insists Elon has 'lost his mind' and 'vows to get rid of his Tesla' "That happens. Things like that happen. I don't blame him for anything. I was a little disappointed." Just days before their falling out, Trump had held a send-off for Musk in the Oval Office as the billionaire bowed out of his government role. When asked by Devine whether Trump could get back on warmer terms with Musk, the president didn't rule out a reconciliation. He said: "I guess I could, but we have to straighten out the country. "And my sole function now is getting this country back to a level higher than it's ever been. And I think we can do that." Trump added that "Elon agrees" with the merchandised catchphrase "Trump was right about everything". It marks a change of tone from Trump just days after he said Musk had "lost his mind." Devine asked him: "You said he had problems. What kind of problems? I mean, is it the drugs?" "I don't know what his problem is, really. I don't know," Trump replied. "I haven't thought too much about him in the last little while, but the bill is so good." Musk had been one of Trump's most ardent supporters during last year's presidential election. But he hasn't shied away from criticising some of the administration's policies, such as around tariffs. While Musk has backed down from some of his most strident comments about Trump last week, it remains unclear if the pair will fully reconcile. Trump had warned there would be "serious consequences" if Musk financially backed his political opponents.

Sky News hit with 1200 Ofcom complaints for host's controversial comment
Over 1,270 complainants were lodged from viewers. Sky News has received 1,270 Ofcom complaints over one host's comments about a vessel delivering aid to Gaza. The episode in question was On Today with Samantha Washington on June 7, where there was coverage of the Madleen vessel. The Madleen vessel was halted before landing in Israel this week, with activist Greta Thunberg claiming she was "kidnapped" and calling on the Swedish government to help. The news of the vessel delivering aid was covered on Sky News on Saturday, writes The Mirror. Ofcom have now unveiled that they received 1,270 complaints from viewers who alleged that a comment by the presenter misrepresented the peaceful nature of the mission. The comments were made on Today with Samantha Washington. During an interview with Activist Thiago Avila, Samantha said: "What you're actually carrying is really a drop in the ocean to what people in Gaza need, so really it's a symbolic mission rather than a humanitarian one." Thiago then replied: "It's a humanitarian mission. There's a very big effort to be bigger than what we are." The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), the organisation which was responsible for the yacht, said it was carrying humanitarian aid and said the vessel was "prepared for the possibility of an Israeli attack" and they claimed that it was "forcibly intercepted" by Israeli officials. The vessel was stopped at approximately 160 nautical miles from the Gaza coast. Defence minister Israel Katz had said that the state would "act against any attempt to break the blockade or assist terrorist organisations". It had been intercepted at 5.30am local time near the Egyptian coast. Thunberg said that the team was "intercepted and kidnapped in international waters" by "forces that support Israel" and urged her loved ones to "put pressure on the Swedish government" for a response. She said: "I urge all my friends, family and comrades to put pressure on the Swedish government to release me and the others as soon as possible." Israel Katz, Israel's Minister of Defence, said on social media that it was a "hate flotilla". He said: "I have instructed the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] to act to prevent the 'Madeleine' hate flotilla from reaching the shores of Gaza - and to take whatever measures are necessary to that end." He sensationally then claimed that members of the crew were "anti-Semitic". He wrote: "To the anti-Semitic Greta and her fellow Hamas propaganda spokespeople, I say clearly: You should turn back - because you will not reach Gaza. Israel will act against any attempt to break the blockade or assist terrorist organisations – at sea, in the air, and on land." The Palestinian defence ministry said that the activists' actions were "noble" and said it "salutes the international solidarity activists aboard the ship attempting to break the siege on the Gaza Strip".
