Johnson chastises Musk over Trump feud: "I don't argue with him about how to build rockets"

House Speaker Mike Johnson said Friday on CNBC that he hopes the stunning feud between Elon Musk and President Trump is quickly resolved.Why it matters: Musk personally targeted Johnson (R-La.) in a series of posts on Thursday. Johnson refers to Musk as a friend, and said he and Musk had a "very friendly conversation" as recently as Monday. Johnson said he and Musk can have "policy differences," but it "shouldn't be personal.""I don't argue with him about how to build rockets. And I wish he wouldn't argue with me about how to craft legislation and pass it," Johnson said. "I respect them both," Johnson said of Trump and Musk.Editor's note: This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
