Vice President JD Vance is reportedly urging Elon Musk to make amends with the White House, admitting he made a "mistake" in choosing to row with President Trump.

Speaking to The Gateway Pundit, Vance expressed uncertainty over whether Musk would currently accept his call, given the tech tycoon's "complicated relationship" with the White House. "I kid," Vance quipped.

"I'm sure he would take my call, but honestly, the drama around him and the White House over the last couple of months ... my hope is that it just kinda cools down a bit."

Vance dismissed the "minor disagreements" between Trump and Musk, stating that he is "pretty big tent about this stuff.

"If you're patriotic, you're not trying to sink your knife in the back of the president, you're not trying to betray the movement, I don't care about these, like, minor, little disagreements," he declared. JD Vance suggested that if Musk were to switch political allegiances and lean towards the left, the Democrats wouldn't welcome him, hence he should seek to reconcile with President Trump and return to the White House.

"My argument to Elon is like, you're not going to be on the left ... even if you wanted to be - and he doesn't - they're not going to have you back, that ship has sailed," Vance asserted. "I really think it's a mistake for him to try to break from the president.

"My hope is, by the midterms, things are kind of back to normal," he added.

Musk departed his position at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) at the end of May, Irish Star reports.

Throughout his tenure leading the department, Musk significantly reduced his target for cutting spending, from $2 trillion to $1 trillion and ultimately to $150 billion, whilst regularly expressing exasperation over resistance to his goals.

Presidential row.

Months following his departure from Trump's administration, the tech mogul and the president found themselves locked in a dispute over Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" and how the "pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination."

Trump hit back, stating he was "very disappointed" in the tech entrepreneur after he repeatedly criticised the president's comprehensive domestic policy legislation.

"Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore," Trump remarked during an Oval Office gathering.

The row appeared to settle for several weeks before Musk rekindled it and declared that the Big, Beautiful Bill would "bankrupt America" and contribute an estimated $3.3 to $4.5 billion to the national debt. Trump hit back on Truth Social, declaring: "Elon may get more subsidies than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa."

He continued: "No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED! ! !".
