US President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk have restored relations after their public clash in 2025, and now communicate regularly. Musk was one of Trump’s most important allies during the early months of his term, when he headed the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
However, their relationship deteriorated after political disagreements and clashes over the administration’s policies. The clash reached its peak when Musk publicly accused Trump of obstructing the release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, while Trump threatened to cancel government contracts for the billionaire’s companies.
Musk: Koha për ta hedhur bombën e madhe, Trump është në dosjet Epstein – kjo është arsyeja e vërtetë pse ato nuk janë bërë publike According to the Wall Street Journal , US Vice President JD Vance and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles played a role in the efforts to repair relations.
Conservative activist Charlie Kirk also worked to bring the two figures closer together before his assassination in September 2025. A key moment in their reconciliation was their meeting at Kirk’s memorial service, where Trump and Musk were seen chatting and shaking hands. This was their first significant public contact since the fallout.
Musk has also dropped the idea of creating a new political party and has pledged to invest at least $100 million to support Republican efforts in the November elections. Although relations have improved, Trump, according to his advisers, believes his relationship with Musk will no longer be as close as it once was.
The two are said to speak about once a month, mainly about artificial intelligence, China and world developments. /Telegraph
