House Speaker Mike Johnson revealed that a lengthy text he sent Elon Musk amid his feud with President Donald Trump earlier in 2025 was delivered "into the ether" after the tech billionaire allegedly changed his cell phone number after spatting with the president.
"I sent him a long text message, and then his phone number changed, because after the blow-up, something happened with his โฆ" Johnson, R-La., told New York Post columnist Miranda Devine on her podcast published Wednesday before trailing off that he realized the number was no longer a direct line to Musk.
"I got the number later and realized I was sending it out into the ether somewhere and he never read it," he continued. "So I look forward to meeting with him in person. We got to make that right. I've got nothing against Elon, obviously. I've got great respect for what he's done.
