Trump rebuked the attacks in his conversation with NBC, calling the Epstein angle “old news” and that he had “nothing to do with” Epstein. “That’s called ‘old news,’ that’s been old news, that has been talked about for years,” he said.

Steven Bannon, the influential Trump adviser who has long been critical of Musk, crowed that the tech billionaire’s attacks on Trump were so personal that he won’t be forgiven by the MAGA crowd. “Only the fanboys are going to stick with him—he’s a man without a country,” Bannon told us.

In an interview with NBC News, the president also said he assumes his relationship with the tech billionaire is over following their recent falling out.
