He said: “Nobody’s ever mentioned this to me. If I have to, I’ll pay it out of my own pocket.

“I’ll take care of it.”

Trump had previously ordered Elon Musk to ‘go get’ Wilmore and Williams, who he’d claimed had been ‘abandoned in space by the Biden Administration’.

“They have been waiting for many months on Space Station. Elon will soon be on his way. Hopefully, all will be safe. Good luck Elon!!!” he concluded his Truth Social post.
