Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s friendship seems to have been rekindled as Musk publicly expressed gratitude towards the President. Earlier, their relationship had soured after a public fallout, surprising many as they had previously worked together to support Trump’s election campaign.
Musk took to Twitter to thank President Trump for his contributions to America and the global community, signaling a potential end to their feud. This gesture came after Musk attended a White House dinner with Saudi Arabian Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The post garnered over 51 million views, with many commenting on Musk’s sudden change of stance. Previously, Musk had made controversial remarks in June, suggesting Trump’s involvement in the Epstein Files, hinting at undisclosed reasons for their rift.
Their fallout had been brewing since Trump’s election, with reported clashes between Musk and the President. Musk, who had a role in the government’s Department of Government Efficiency, left the position on May 30.
Following his departure, Musk openly criticized Trump and his policies, particularly denouncing a Congressional spending bill as wasteful and irresponsible on Twitter. Despite launching the American Party to challenge Republicans, Musk faced criticism from Trump, who questioned his actions and hinted at repercussions.
However, in a turn of events, Musk and Trump were spotted together at a memorial event in September, briefly engaging in conversation. The incident hinted at a possible reconciliation between the two figures.
