Musk–Trump Feud Appears to Cool Again

Elon Musk and President Trump reconciled publicly at a White House dinner with $270 billion in business deals highlighted at the U.S.–Saudi Investment Forum.

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump hosted a White House dinner honoring Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and patted Elon Musk's stomach during the livestreamed event, praising Saudi investment pledges and elevating Saudi Arabia to a `major non-NATO-ally`.
  • Earlier this year, Elon Musk abruptly left the Department of Government Efficiency on May 30, arriving at the White House with a black eye and criticizing the GOP's Big Beautiful Bill, prompting President Donald Trump to accuse him of `Trump Derangement Syndrome` by June 5, 2025.
  • Notable attendees included Paramount CEO David Ellison, Chevron CEO Mike Wirth, Blackstone CEO Stephen A. Schwarzman, General Motors CEO Mary Barra, and Donald Trump Jr., while Trump praised Nvidia and Tim Cook, Apple CEO, noting SpaceX retained federal contracts.
  • Soon after, the Senate deemed the legislation passed without a vote and sent it to President Donald Trump, following the House vote Tuesday 427-1 on Epstein files, with the president's name in recent emails.
  • Observers note Elon Musk is firmly back on the Trump train and the public spat is done, while oligarchs and leaders must work in tandem with Trump's political machine and federal contracts.
