The tension that once characterized the relationship between former President Donald Trump and entrepreneur Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, seems to be diminishing. In recent statements, Trump indicated that his relationship with Musk is 'good,' despite describing some of Musk's actions earlier this year as 'foolish moments.'
Trump revealed that he had spoken with Musk 'intermittently' since their meeting at Charlie Kirk's memorial service in September. 'I like Elon, I've always liked him,' he added. These remarks came during Trump's flight on Air Force One from Malaysia to Japan.
Trump referred to the public disagreement that arose between them last June, which was exacerbated by Musk's opposition to the 'big and beautiful bill,' shortly after Musk left the administration after leading the DOGE initiative. Trump described that period as a 'tough time' for Musk, considering his actions at the time 'just a foolish moment, very foolish.'
Since last summer, Musk has significantly reduced his criticism of Trump, and has rarely referred in recent months to the new third political party he had promised to form after the passage of Trump's massive bill.
However, this did not prevent Musk from criticizing other members of the Trump administration. Last week, Musk clashed with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy over who would lead NASA, after Duffy announced the opening of a contract for SpaceX.
Musk described Duffy as trying to stifle NASA. He criticized Duffy's proposal to integrate NASA into the Department of Transportation, as well as the continuation of the Secretary of Transportation to lead the agency, instead of Jared Isaacman, the fintech billionaire and Musk's longtime ally, taking the position. Musk's statements came just one day after Duffy expressed his disappointment with the progress made in the development of Musk's lunar lander, noting that NASA is opening a contract to competitors.
