Trump, Musk Mend Fences As Musk Commits $100M+ To Boost GOP In Midterms
President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have repaired a once-shattered relationship that appeared beyond saving.
Nearly a year after Musk publicly blasted Trump and their alliance collapsed in a spectacular social media feud, the two men shared a friendly flight aboard Air Force One to China in May.
According to people on the plane, Musk discussed plans to build new factories in the United States while Trump asked about one of Musk’s young sons and recalled a recent space-launch video.
Then came the news Trump’s team had long hoped to hear: Musk intends to aid Republicans in the November midterms.
People familiar with the strategy say the Tesla and SpaceX leader plans to spend at least $100 million on a voter-turnout operation aimed at keeping the GOP in control of Congress.
