Trump says he “could” reconcile with Elon Musk, but it's not a top priority right now. On the debut episode of Pod Force One, he said:
“I have no hard feelings… I was a little disappointed… I don’t blame him for anything,” and said Musk likely “feels very badly” about how… pic.twitter.com/egTI4Bf04k

🇺🇸 PRESIDENT TRUMP ON WHETHER HE COULD RECONCILE WITH ELON MUSK:
– I GUESS I COULD
— Evan (@StockMKTNewz) June 11, 2025
Elon Musk is walking back his explosive feud with Trump, admitting that some of his posts “went too far”. The billionaire’s sudden reversal comes after a week of relentless attacks on the president, including calls for impeachment and claims that Trump was tied to the Epstein files.
The fallout was immediate. Musk’s posts triggered a $150 billion drop in Tesla’s market cap, rattling investors and fueling speculation about his political future. Trump wasted no time responding, warning that Musk could face “serious consequences” if he backed Democrats in upcoming elections. The president even hinted at cutting Musk’s lucrative federal contracts, a move that could shake SpaceX and Tesla to their core.
Musk’s retreat signals a shift. After days of escalating tensions, he deleted several of his most controversial posts, including the Epstein allegations. His latest statement on X suggests he’s looking to de-escalate, but the damage is done.
The alliance between Musk and Trump is fractured. Once a close confidant, Musk now finds himself on the outside, scrambling to repair the relationship. Whether Trump accepts the olive branch remains to be seen, but one thing is clear—Musk’s influence in Washington has taken a hit.
