【Trump and Musk Reconcile: The Latter Plans to Donate $100 Million for the Election】Musk plans to invest at least $100 million to help Trump and the Republican Party mobilize voters ahead of the U.S. midterm elections. According to sources cited by The Wall Street Journal, Trump and Musk currently speak on the phone roughly once a month, though Trump does not believe their relationship can return to the level of closeness it once had.
During the reconciliation process, Vice President Vance and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles played pivotal roles. Additionally, Musk's decision to abandon his plan to form a new political party has also helped ease tensions between the two sides.
However, compared to his high-profile involvement in politics during the 2024 election cycle, Musk intends to reduce his public appearances and participate in political affairs in a more low-key manner moving forward.
Looking back, Trump and Musk publicly broke ties in June 2025, triggered by Trump’s proposed tax and fiscal bill. At the time, Musk dismissed the legislation as “revolting garbage.”
Their dispute quickly escalated from policy disagreements to open personal attacks. Musk supported calls for impeaching Trump and claimed that without his help, Trump would have never won the election; in turn, Trump threatened to cancel government contracts with Musk’s companies.
Nevertheless, Musk later admitted that some of his social media comments at the time were “too extreme.” Trump #Musk
