Speaker Johnson hopes Musk and Trump can 'reconcile' their differences after public fallout
House Speaker Mike Johnson said Sunday that he hopes President Donald Trump and Elon Musk can "reconcile" after their public fallout last week. "There's a lot of emotion involved in it, but it's in the interest of the country for everybody to work together," the Louisiana Republican said on ABC News' "This Week." Johnson said that he has not spoken with Musk about the GOP-led "big, beautiful bill" since last Monday. Musk last week went on a rant against the multitrillion-dollar spending package that narrowly passed the House, calling it a "disgusting abomination" that would lead to exploding federal deficits. On Sunday, Johnson brushed aside the Tesla's CEO's criticisms of the bill. "I didn't go out to craft a piece of legislation to please the richest man in the world, what we're trying to do is help hardworking Americans," he said. The spending bill is now with the Senate. Musk's vocal opposition to the legislation was in part what triggered the public clash between Trump and the billionaire SpaceX founder, CNBC previously reported. The two men have not spoken since their feud, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Sunday on "Fox Sunday Morning Futures," adding that she doesn't think Trump "intends to." Trump also told NBC News' Kristen Welker on Saturday that he was not interested in repairing his relationship with Musk following their spat, signaling that their rift could be irreversible. Musk was the largest donor of the 2024 presidential campaign, and his super PAC spent roughly $200 million to propel Trump to the White House. In the midst of Musk's criticisms against the bill, he threatened to "fire all politicians who betrayed the American people." But Trump warned Saturday that Musk would pay "very serious consequences" if he funds Democratic candidates challenging Republicans who support the bill. Johnson, a loyal Trump ally, echoed the president's remarks, saying it would be a "big mistake" if Musk were to back Democratic candidates.

Something Bold Is Coming From Alfa Romeo: New Stelvio Coming?
Alfa Romeo, like Maserati, isn't in a good place right now. The Stellantis-led marque is in dire need of a turnaround plan with the world's fifth-largest automaker confirming that a major strategy review is in the pipeline for the Italian marques, spearheaded by a new CEO. Wasting no time putting that plan into action, Alfa Romeo has announced a big reveal is set to take place on June 10, 2025, at 4:30 PM CEST (10:30 AM EDT) with the following post shared on it social media accounts: "A new chapter is about to begin. Bold, unexpected, unmistakably Alfa Romeo." So, what is the premium Italian brand cooking? It's no secret that Alfa Romeo is working on the next-generation Stelvio, its best-selling model. Despite being hit by an issue concerning the switch to a hybrid powertrain, the timing's just right. The eight-year-old Stelvio is aging, and the automaker needs to entice fans with a new model. The next-gen Stelvio will use Stellantis' STLA Large platform, which underpins the unpopular Dodge Charger Daytona EV – an architecture flexible enough to cater to both pure EV and hybrid setups. The switch from the previous all-electric powertrain plan to hybrid isn't as easy as flicking a switch, though. That said, we don't expect any powertrain details if this is indeed the new Stelvio, only a look at its new design, which was recently shared via the following patent images. But if it's not a new model, then what else could the teaser be referring to? As you can see in the single teaser provided, the imagery shows the Alfa Romeo badge with a glowing red equilateral triangle. Alfanatics will recognize the triangle from Autodelta, Alfa Romeo's historic racing division. Could Alfa Romeo be about to announce a return to motorsport? Or could it be ready to launch a performance model that harkens to classic Alfas that Autodelta worked on. Whatever Alfa Romeo's planning, we only have a couple of days to find out. So stay tuned.
