Elon Musk Apologies for Public Fallout with President Trump

  • Elon Musk and President Donald Trump had a public and messy online spat last week involving insults and political disagreements over a spending bill.
  • The conflict originated when Musk criticized Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' as a 'disgusting abomination,' while Trump accused Musk of having 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' and threatened to revoke his government contracts.
  • After the House, controlled by Republicans, passed the controversial spending bill, Congressman Brett Guthrie met with Musk over breakfast, reporting Musk offered energy and AI insights but did not mention the bill.
  • Musk later expressed regret for some of his posts about Trump, posting a mea culpa on June 11, while Trump acknowledged Musk's regret and warned he would face serious consequences if funding Democrats.
  • This exchange suggests Musk's businesses remain vulnerable to Trump's influence, as government contracts are vital, while both figures' public fallout and partial reconciliation affect political and social dynamics.
