Former President Donald Trump admitted that he met recently with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk at Mar-a-Lago, adding that he wasn't sure if the X owner would support his second bid for the White House.

In a call-in interview on CNBC's 'Squawk Box', Trump was asked if he would get Musk's "verbal and monetary" support.

To this, the Republican frontrunner said: "I don't know. I've been friendly with him over the years." He, however, added that Musk may not support him because they both have "opposing views" on electric cars.

"I helped him. I've liked him. We obviously have opposing views on a minor subject called electric cars. I'm all for electric cars, but you have to have all of the alternatives. Also, you can't just go to electric. I mean, you have a grid system in this country that's obsolete, and a disaster," Trump said in reference to Musk.

: Will billionaire Elon Musk bankroll Biden or Trump for US presidential campaigns? Here's the answer

Trump-Musk's recent meeting increased the speculations that the billionaire would lend financial support to the Trump campaign as he is facing monetary challenges following a judgment in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case.

Musk, who has been critical of President Joe Biden over US immigration policy, cleared on X (formerly Twitter) that he will not be donating money to either candidate for president.

"Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for US President,' Musk tweeted last week," Musk tweeted after their meeting.

Raising his voice against a ban on TikTok, Trump asserted that thousands of youngsters are using the Chinese-app and they "will go crazy without it".

He admitted that there are pros and cons of TikTok, adding that he considers Facebook as "an enemy of the people, along with the media".
