WASHINGTON, DC: At the electric vehicle company Tesla's shareholder meeting on Thursday, June 13, Elon Musk, the CEO, talked about his connection with former President Donald Trump. He confirmed that the two have had discussions and disclosed some of the topics they have discussed, stated the New York Post.

About Trump, Musk said, "He does call me out of the blue for no reason. I don’t know why, but he does." Musk claimed that Trump is "very nice when he calls," and he remembered informing the outgoing president that "America's the leader in electric cars" and that EVs are "pretty good for the future."
