Elon Musk Shares Trump Posts Once More: Feud or Rapprochement?
Elon Musk publishes an additional Trump speech transcript online.
In a surprising turn of events, Elon Musk, the renowned tech entrepreneur, seems to be softening his stance towards Donald Trump, the former US president, on at least one shared issue. After a heated exchange in recent days, Musk has been sharing posts supportive of Trump, notably a screenshot of an article penned by Trump himself addressing the ongoing unrest in Los Angeles.
The article criticizes California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Bass, stating that they should apologize for their poor management and the continued protests in Los Angeles. The unrest, according to the article, is not a peaceful protest but rather troublemakers and rioters.
Musk also shared a post by US Vice President JD Vance, containing a Trump post declaring a firm stance against an alleged "migrant invasion" in Los Angeles. It appears that both Musk and Trump hold comparable views regarding migration.
This apparent rapprochement comes after Musk deleted a contentious post about Trump in their feud, which began over differing opinions on Trump's tax policy. Musk criticized the policy, arguing it would drive America into bankruptcy and increase the national debt. During the row, Musk also suggested that Trump's name in the files about Jeffrey Epstein was the real reason they weren't fully released.
Epstein Post Deleted Again
Musk has since deleted the post once more. In a stern warning, Trump cautioned Musk about "very serious consequences" if he were to back Democrats in the future. "If he does, he will have to pay the price," Trump told NBC News in an interview.
Meanwhile, Musk's father, Errol Musk, has weighed in on the situation. Speaking to Russian media, Errol attempted to downplay the severity of the feud, attributing it to the stress and pressure both Musk and Trump have been under for the past five months. He dismissed the confrontation as a temporary outburst, predicting that it would soon come to an end.

Despite their disagreement on Trump's tax policy and Elon Musk's subsequent deletion of posts, they now seem to align on issues such as migration and criticism of certain political figures.
