Billionaire Elon Musk seemingly put aside his differences with President of the United States of America (US) Donald Trump. The X boss praised Trump for resolving several serious conflicts around the world.
In a tweet, Musk said he will give credit where credit is due. He was responding to a message shared by Trump on his social media platform, Truth Social. The post read that Trump’s representatives had a long and productive meeting with the Israelis today on Gaza.
“Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize the 60 Day ceasefire, during which time we will work with all parties to end the war. The Qataris and Egyptians, who have worked very hard to help bring peace, will deliver this final proposal. I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this deal, because it will not get better,” wrote Trump.
TRUMP THREATENS TO “DEPORT” MUSK
Earlier, the pair were in a spat over the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which US Senate passed, yesterday. Musk strongly opposed the bill. However, Trump shared that he was aware of the bill before endorsing him for president.
“Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa. No more rocket launches, satellites, or electric car production, and our country would save a fortune,” Trump shared.
The US president also added that perhaps the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) should investigate Musk. He claimed that lots of money could be saved.
MUSK CALLS REPUBLICANS A “PORKY PIG PARTY”
Before his unexpected praise for Trump, Musk had criticised the Republican Party on X, calling it a “Porky Pig Party” over its support of the new bill. He warned that the legislation would raise the debt ceiling by $5-trillion and described it as “debt slavery.”
He also floated the idea that it might be time to form a new political party, accusing the Republicans of failing to act in the interests of American citizens.
