WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk are showing no signs of reconciling on Friday, but Republicans are increasingly urging them to settle their dispute. They know what’s at stake — a massive tax and border spending bill from the Republican Party that Musk has been railing against for days. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas says he hopes “that both of them come back together.” Still, the feud between Trump and Musk is probably best described as a moving target. One person familiar with the president’s thinking says Musk wants to speak with Trump, but that the president doesn’t want to do it — or at least, not on Friday.
