President Trump‘s sounding like a guy who wants his ex, Elon Musk, to come groveling back to him — which seems to be happening — but instead of welcoming him with open arms, he’s putting him on the back burner.

Trump claimed he has no hard feelings with Musk, but on Wednesday’s “Pod Force One” episode, he admitted he was “not a happy camper” when his former head of DOGE trashed his spending bill.

Trump said he was shocked by Elon’s outburst because, as he put it, his so-called “big beautiful bill” is so phenomenal. Taking a cue from every guilt-tripping parent in history, the prez very calmly said, “I was disappointed in him.”

Hours before the interview dropped, Elon admitted on X he regretted some posts and maybe went a bit too far. Trump backed that up, saying he thinks Elon feels bad about what went down … so, maybe they’re already talking.

Podcast host Miranda Devine said Musk saw POTUS as a father figure, which might explain why Trump had such a paternal tone … saying he doesn’t blame Elon for any of it and, hey, stuff happens.

Talk about turning down the heat … last week Trump was threatening to pull government contracts with SpaceX, and Musk claimed — without a shred of evidence — that Trump’s name is in the Epstein files.

Now Elon’s deleted that post, and admitted regret … but Trump’s still not ready to kiss and make up, saying he’s focused on fixing the country — clearly referring to ICE raids and getting his spending bill through the Senate.

9:34 AM PT — Assistant Secretary Dept. of Homeland Security, Tricia McLaughlin, has responded to Kim Kardashian.

Kim Kardashian is coming out swinging against the Trump administration’s ICE raids in Los Angeles … calling the president’s immigration policies “inhumane.”

The reality TV star posted a statement on her Instagram story Tuesday, offering her opinion on the violent protests that have erupted in downtown L.A. and Paramount — a largely Latino city in L.A. County — over the past 5 days.

In her post, KK wrote that she was OK with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents removing violent criminals, but not hardworking people ripped from their families.

She also said having grown up in Los Angeles, she has seen how immigrants are “deeply woven” into the fabric of the city and greatly contribute to their thriving communities.

David Thibodeau — a survivor of the infamous 1993 Branch Davidians siege in Waco, Texas — is giving Justin Bieber some sage advice on religion, as some of his former friends question his association with Churchome.

Justin’s inner circle’s been getting smaller, and we’re told part of the reason is former friends believe Churchome, the Christian church he attends, is a cult, and Thibodeau has a lot of experience in that area, having been a member of the Branch Davidians — the David Koresh-led cult that had a weeks-long standoff with the feds before their Waco compound burned to the ground, killing more than 80 members.

Thibodeau told us he sees a lot of good and some bad in the case of Justin and Churchome. He says one major positive is the org is nowhere near as hardcore as the Branch Davidians were.

For starters, Churchome is not a 24/7 operation like the Davidians … in fact, the church only meets once a month — which David says gives Justin time and freedom to research other religions, if he chooses to do so.

Thibodeau warns JB, “Don’t go against that pit in his stomach that says something is right or wrong?” He also cautions Justin to be wary of Churchome’s leadership if they only have him read “the scripture” with no outside influences.

David also mentions Bieber should be thankful he’s older now because younger, less sophisticated people are more susceptible to being lured into a religious group or cult, just like what happened to him with the Davidians.

What’s more, Thibodeau says if Justin’s friends attack the singer’s faith or church — it would only serve to strengthen Justin’s bond with the church. He offers a better approach for those around him who disagree with Churchome.

In our documentary, “TMZ Investigates: What Happened to Justin Bieber?” — available now on YouTube — we told you about Justin’s ex-pal Ryan Good‘s falling out with the singer.

Ryan was a Churchome member, but sources told us he left because he thought it was a cult … something its pastor, Judah Smith, has adamantly denied.

A couple of interesting facts … Thibodeau was just a long-haired hippy when he was led out of the Koresh compound in handcuffs in 1993.
