The world’s richest person, Elon Musk, denied a report that he communicated with former President Donald Trump regarding his purchase of Twitter, with the CEO of Trump’s Truth Social platform saying media outlets misreported his statements.

In response to a New York Post article published Friday, Musk wrote on Twitter that a claim that he spoke with the former president “is false” and he’s had “no communication, directly or indirectly, with Trump, who has publicly stated that he will be exclusively on Truth Social.”
