It’s been about a month since President Trump and Elon Musk had a very public falling-out with each other over the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill.’
But today, President Trump softened his tone towards his former ally.
Speaking to reporters at a White House event with Apple CEO Tim Cook, President Trump said that he believes Elon Musk is “a good person” who just had a “bad moment.”
Watch for yourself:
HEART-TOUCHING: President Trump just refused to attack @ElonMusk, instead calling him a “good person.”
“I think Elon Musk is a good person. I think he had a bad moment. But he’s a good person, I believe that.”

Backup via Rumble:
In that clip, President Trump was asked about a recent Gallup poll that said Americans view Elon Musk as the world’s most unpopular public figure.
For some background, The Daily Mail has more details on that poll:
A new poll has found Elon Musk to be the most-hated public figure among a list of prominent American and global personalities.
In July, Gallup surveyed Americans on their views of 14 powerful public figures, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., JD Vance, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Benjamin Netanyahu, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the country’s own Commander-In-Chief, President Donald Trump.
But it was Trump’s former ‘first buddy’ who topped the list as the most disliked, the results revealed.
A staggering 61 percent of Americans reported an unfavorable view of Musk, while just 33 percent saw him in a positive light. Six percent had no opinion at all.
His popularity dipped even lower than that of the Israeli Prime Minister, who faced a 52 percent unfavorable rating and a net score of -23.
In case you’re curious, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was second on Gallup’s list of “most unpopular public figures,” followed by Marco Rubio, then President Trump.
I’m not really buying the credibility of that poll.
And, President Trump doesn’t appear to be, either.
However, his response to it is very telling.
His kind words for Elon Musk have many wondering if a reconciliation is in the works.
Take a look at these replies on X:
Could Trump and Elon be getting back together?

Now would be a great time for President Trump to band back together with Elon Musk — especially in light of the recent attack on DOGE employee ‘Big Balls.’
Or, perhaps, there never was a real feud in the first place…
Bc there was never a feud in the first place, only kayfabe, & just like that, the D’s stopped attacking Teslas
