Reference News Network, October 28 - According to Deutsche Presse-Agentur, on October 27, after a few months of falling out with Elon Musk, US President Trump expressed goodwill towards the tech industry billionaire.
"I like Elon, and I feel I will always like him," Trump said to the media during his visit to Asia.
Musk donated more than $250 million to Trump's campaign last year. In the first few months of Trump's second term, he became a close advisor to the president and was tasked with quickly cutting government spending.
However, in the early summer, their relationship deteriorated due to a major budget bill that Trump pushed for, and they soon began attacking each other on social platforms. Musk then stepped back from his political role.
In July, Musk announced the establishment of his own party, but there has been no news about the party since then.
Since then, Musk's political activities have been limited to expressing right-wing views on the social platform X.
In September, Trump and Musk had a conversation at an event commemorating right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, who was shot.
Trump said that since that memorial event, he had some contact with Musk, but called these contacts "nothing important."
Trump said that the tech industry billionaire was going through "a bad moment" at the time.
"That was a silly moment in his life, very silly," he said.
"I am sure he will tell you that." (Translated by Guo Jun)
