Elon Musk, Donald Trump

White House chief of staff Susie Wiles is opening up about US President Donald Tump’s rift with former billionaire buddy Elon Musk.

Wiles said that most of the conjecture she’s seen is wrong.

“I know that what has been said doesn’t ring accurate to me,” she told New York Post columnist Miranda Devine. “But I don’t know.”

Devine said Musk seemed very comfortable around Trump, but that it also seemed a “blow-up” between the two was inevitable.

“How did you see that relationship?” she asked Wiles, who gives few interviews.

“The president was very very kind to him and Elon had so much to offer us. He knew things we didn’t know. He knew people and technologies that we didn’t know,” she said. “It was a great thing when it was a great thing. And had a very, I think, a very troublesome ending.”

Wiles praised Musk for being not just the world’s richest man, but also possibly the smartest, and said she “enjoyed” working with him.

“But certainly came to not a good ending,” she said.
