Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s friendship seems to have rekindled as Musk publicly expressed gratitude towards the president. The two had a public falling out some time ago, despite initially campaigning together for Trump’s presidency.
Musk took to Twitter to thank President Trump for his contributions to America and the world, signaling a possible end to their feud. This gesture followed Musk’s attendance at a White House dinner with Saudi Arabian Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The post garnered significant attention, with many noting Musk’s change of heart. Previously, Musk had made controversial remarks implying Trump’s involvement in certain files. The rift between Musk and Trump had been building since Trump’s election, with reported clashes between the two.
After leaving his government position, Musk openly criticized Trump and his policies. He denounced a Congressional spending bill as a “disgusting abomination” on Twitter, expressing his strong disapproval.
Despite their past disagreements, Musk later announced the launch of the American Party to challenge Republicans, drawing criticism from Trump. However, the two were seen together at a memorial event in September, briefly engaging in conversation.
Throughout their ups and downs, Musk and Trump’s relationship has seen shifts, with moments of tension and reconciliation.
