Elon Musk Makes A Very Public Return To Trump’s Fold
HuffPost
The tech executive attended a White House dinner Tuesday in a sign of a detente.
Weeks after the two men were spotted exchanging pleasantries at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service, Tesla CEO Elon Musk appeared to solidify his truce with President Donald Trump by attending a White House dinner in honor of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Tuesday.
Trump was seen tapping Musk on the stomach as he walked into the event and the tech chief was also captured chatting with other attendees at the black-tie dinner. Apple CEO Tim Cook, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff and Palantir CEO Alex Karp were among the other tech executives in attendance alongside journalists from Fox News, Trump Cabinet members and the crown prince’s delegation, according to a White House guest list.
Musk’s attendance marks the latest indicator of a detente between the two men after they had an explosive falling out over Trump’s tax bill in June.
At the time, Musk derided the legislation as an “abomination” given how much it would add to the deficit. The feud between the two also escalated to the point of Musk alleging that Trump was in convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s files and threatening to start his own third party.
Since then, Musk hasn’t quite delivered on the third party, though he’s made other forays into politics, according to a New York Times report.
