For months, Tesla and SpaceX billionaire Elon Musk and President Donald Trump together used the Department of Government Efficiency to seek out and destroy corruption, criminality, fraud and waste in government spending.
Reports suggest that about $170 billion was saved, and work continues even after Musk’s time as a temporary special government employee expired.
But a war of words erupted between the two last week as Congress was considering a plan to put into law the cuts. Musk was furious that there weren’t more cuts, while Trump was working within the reality of a divided Congress where even his own GOP party had fractures.
Accusations went back and forth, with the Epstein files mentions. Threats of impeachment, contract cancelation and more erupted.
But the two intense government and industry leaders now may be heading toward a reconciliation.
Musk has apologized, conceding some of his comments went too far.
And Trump has confirmed he could work through his reactions, and come to “no hard feelings.”
A report from Fox News revealed Trump said in a new interview he’s open to reconciliation.
“Look, I have no hard feelings,” he told “Pod Force One with Miranda Devine. “I was really surprised that that happened. He went after a bill that’s phenomenal. He just — I think he feels very badly that he said that, actually.”
The report noted the two “traded fierce social media barbs” after Musk called the congressional cost-cutter a “massive, outrageous, pork-filled” plan.
The bill has been adopted by the House and is pending in the Senate, it is meant to extend Trump’s 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act as well as provide new funding for the border and defense.
Trump said he is open to mending fences. “I guess I could, but we have to straighten out the country. And my sole function now is getting this country back to a level higher than it’s ever been. And I think we can do that.”
Musk, meanwhile, said, “I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far.”
