JAKARTA - Elon Musk's father hopes that the dispute between Donald Trump and Elon Musk will end soon. Elon Musk-Trump's hostility is getting hotter even though the two of them were friends.
Trump and Musk began insulting each other last week on social media, Musk called the draft tax law and the president's broad spending "dirty ferocity".
When asked if his son had made a mistake by being involved in a public dispute with the president, Errol Musk said people sometimes couldn't think clearly in a heated situation.
"They have been under severe stress for five months," Errool Musk told Reuters at a conference in Moscow, Monday, June 9.
"With all the opposition removed and only two people left in the arena, all they've ever done is get rid of everything and now they're trying to get rid of each other - well, that has to stop," he continued.
He believes Elon Musk and Trump's dispute is coming to an end. "Oh, it will end well - soon."
Neither the White House nor Musk could be reached for a statement outside of US normal working hours.
Musk's father told reporters he supports his son.
"Elon sticks to the principle but you can't always stick to your principles in the real world," Musk's father said.
"Sometimes you have to give and receive," he said.
Speaking alongside Russian businessman who was sanctioned by Konstantin Malofeyev, Musk's father praised President Vladimir Putin as a very stable and fun person.
He accused "false media" in the West of projecting "empty nonsense" about Russia and describing it as an enemy.
