They’re just “Friends.”
Ex-Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel compared President Trump and Elon Musk’s bitter falling out to the on-again, off-again relationship between “Friends” characters Ross and Rachel.
“I’m hoping it’s like a Ross and Rachel thing. That it’s just a break and they come back together. You know, we all panicked when they broke up on ‘Friends’ and I hope that they come back together,” McDaniel told NewsNation’s “Cuomo” on Thursday.
The iconic duo, played by David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston, were known for their tumultuous relationship throughout the long-running sitcom’s 10 seasons.
“I hope they come back together. I think Trump’s … you’ve seen Trump forgive people who have said things about him. You’ve seen these two men work very closely together,” McDaniel added.
“Elon was a big part of this election. He came in, their businesses have both suffered, they’ve been attacked, they’ve taken a lot of personal hits for coming out politically, and I hope in the end they call a truce.”
The escalating spat between Trump and Musk exploded on social media on Thursday after the president criticized the Tesla billionaire for denouncing the administration’s sweeping “Big Beautiful Bill.”
Threats quickly started to fly as Trump vowed to end Musk’s government contracts and the world’s richest man suggesting Trump should be impeached.
Musk even accused the administration of withholding documents related to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein because the president would be mentioned.
“Time to drop the really big bomb: Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!” Musk posted on X.
The commander-in-chief insisted Friday he had has zero interest in speaking to Musk amid reports they had planned to hash it out.
“You mean the man who has lost his mind?” Trump told ABC News when asked about reports he was slated to call Musk at some point on Friday.
Trump added that he was “not particularly” in speaking to his former ally — even though he said Musk wants to talk to him.
