From Politico: U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters Monday that he’s been in touch with Elon Musk, saying the two have spoken “on and off” since sitting together at conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s funeral last month in Arizona and that their relationship is “good.”
“I’ve always liked Elon,” Trump said in response to a question from POLITICO aboard Air Force One en route to Japan. “He had a bad spell. He had a bad moment. But I like Elon, and I suspect I’ll always like him.”
The comments are the latest sign of a notable thaw between two men after a summer of public feuding.
Trump and Musk clashed repeatedly, exchanging personal insults and political threats as the tech billionaire and X owner said he might back candidates to run against Republicans, and even form a political party named the “America Party.”
Musk later issued an apology on X for some of his comments, writing, ““I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far.”
When the two spoke at Charlie Kirk’s funeral in September, it appeared they had truly buried the hatchet.
Aboard Air Force One on Monday, the reporter asked Trump if he has talked to Musk since Kirk’s service.
“On and off, a little bit, nothing much,” Trump said. “He’s a nice guy, and a very capable guy.”
