Thu Nov 20 03:32:39 UTC 2025: Trump and Musk Seemingly Patch Things Up at White House Dinner
WASHINGTON D.C. – In a surprising turn of events, former political rivals Donald Trump and Elon Musk appear to have reconciled, as the tech billionaire joined the former president for a White House dinner alongside Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman. Trump lavished praise on Musk during the business-focused event, even joking, “Has he ever thanked me properly?”
Musk responded by thanking Trump for “all he has done for America and the world” on X, formerly Twitter, along with photos of the gathering. The reconciliation comes after a period of tension between the two, sparked by Musk’s criticism of Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” following his stint as head of the now defunct Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The dinner hints at a renewed alliance, with Musk’s allies reportedly planning a reunion party in Austin for those who worked with him under DOGE. Musk himself is expected to attend the event, signaling a potential shift in his relationship with Trump after months of disagreement.
