It seems that the "Twitter war" between Tesla and SpaceX CEO Musk and U.S. President Trump, which made headlines globally last Thursday, will end in reconciliation: after Musk publicly retracted his remarks late at night, Trump "liked" his apology. Some media reports suggest that U.S. Vice President Vance and White House Chief of Staff Wyles were key players in the reconciliation between "Muskrump".

On Wednesday, Eastern Time, June 11, Trump acknowledged Musk's recent apology during a media phone interview, saying, "I think he did a good job." When asked whether he was willing to reconcile with Musk without holding any grudges, Trump did not give a clear response.

In an earlier media interview recorded on Monday, Trump hinted at the possibility of reconciling with Musk, saying he did not "blame" Musk for the breakdown in their relationship. However, Musk criticized the tax cut and spending bill proposed by the Republicans—the so-called "Great Beautiful" Act, which left him "a little disappointed".

Trump said:

"These things happen all the time, I don't blame him for anything."

"I have no grudges. I'm really surprised this happened. What he (Musk) pursued was an extraordinary bill... He just—actually, I think he feels very guilty about what he said."

Musk's Clear "Repentance" from Deleting Posts to Explicit Apology

Before Trump's statement, Musk showed the clearest repentance stance since his public break with Trump last week.

According to CCTV News, Musk expressed regret on his social media platform "X" early Friday morning regarding some posts about Trump last week, stating that "the content was too exaggerated".

Musk and Trump had a public feud on social media last Thursday over the "Great Beautiful" Act. Musk reiterated that the bill was "repulsive", accusing Trump of being "ungrateful," and even dropped a bombshell, claiming that Trump was involved in Epstein's case and forwarded related old news content. Trump was furious and threatened to cancel government contracts and subsidies for Musk's companies, responding that the allegations about Epstein were "old news" and denying any association with it.

However, Musk has since shown a posture to ease tensions with Trump. Musk deleted several critical posts targeting Trump over the weekend, including those calling for Trump's impeachment and alleging involvement in Epstein's case.

Wall Street Insight mentioned that Musk recently also retweeted Trump's post about the anti-ICE chaos in Los Angeles, supporting Trump's criticism of California Governor and Los Angeles Mayor, and retweeted Vice President Vance's condemnation of the Los Angeles unrest, emphasizing that "the president would not tolerate violence."

Media Reports That Vance and White House Chief of Staff Urged Musk to End the Dispute on Friday

On Wednesday, there were media reports revealing that U.S. Vice President Vance and White House Chief of Staff Wyles played a key role in promoting the reconciliation between Musk and Trump. The report cited sources as saying that during a call last Friday, Vance and Wyles urged Musk to end his dispute with Trump.

The report stated that during the dispute between Musk and Trump, Vance maintained a low-key approach, supporting Trump while avoiding direct criticism of Musk, allowing him to act as a mediator. This strategy reflects Vance's dual positioning as both an "attacker" and a problem solver as vice president.

In fact, Trump has recently adopted a seemingly more moderate attitude when mentioning Musk.

According to CCTV News, on Monday, June 9, Trump seemed to soften his tone when responding to Musk's related issues. He wished Musk "all the best," expressed hope for ending their public disputes, and mentioned that he might move his Tesla car out of the White House but promised to continue Starlink services in the White House. Trump mentioned that he hadn't considered contacting Musk yet, but if Musk reached out, he wouldn't refuse the conversation.

In response to Trump's statement on Monday, Musk later reacted. CCTV reported that he left a red heart emoji under the video of Trump's speech. CCTV also cited local media reports suggesting that Musk's anger was subsiding and that he might seek to repair relations with Trump.
