Elon Musk changed his phone number after spat with Trump

Tech mogul Elon Musk changed his cellphone number and stopped returning Mike Johnson’s texts after throwing a titanic fit about the costs included in Republicans’ massive tax-and-spending bill, the House speaker revealed on the latest episode of “Pod Force One,” out Wednesday.

“I sent him a long text message, and then his phone number changed, because after the blow-up, something happened with his,” Johnson told The Post’s Miranda Devine about the bitter billionaire abruptly leaving their chat — right after President Trump and Musk’s bromance went belly-up.

“[Later I] realized I was sending it out into the ether somewhere and he never read it, so I look forward to meeting with him in person,” the speaker said of his former texting buddy. “We got to make that right.”

Though Musk didn’t even give him a heads up before ghosting him, Johnson noted that didn’t stop him from reaching out multiple times through a third party. He was also hopeful that Musk and Trump could mend fences.

“Frankly, I think the president was of that mind as well, but there’s some tension there,” the House GOP leader said of the two billionaires burying the hatchet.

Musk parted ways with the Trump administration at the end of May, then a few days later raged publicly about the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act, grumbling over its impact on the deficit in particular. Deficit reduction had been Musk’s top priority when pulling the strings on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). said.
