Forbes: Trump's relationship with Musk has partially repaired, but it can never return to what it was before

According to Forbes, after Trump and Musk publicly fell out last year, they currently talk about once a month, often discussing topics such as artificial intelligence and international affairs. However, Trump privately admits that their relationship "will never be the same as it was before."

The late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and Vice President JD Vance have pushed for repairing the relationship between Trump and Musk, believing that this relationship is too important to lose.

In May of this year, Musk visited China with Trump and other business executives, where they discussed Musk's plans to build new factories in the U.S., family matters, and Musk's plan to invest $100 million to help the Republican Party win the November elections.

In an interview with The Economist last month, Musk stated that he had previously "been a bit too involved in politics, and frankly, it got a little out of control." During the fallout last year, Musk publicly criticized Trump administration policies and even called for Trump's impeachment at one point, later deleting some related posts and expressing regret for some of his criticisms of Trump.
