The plot twist is too fast! In just a few hours, Musk suddenly softened, and Trump's response is even more confusing.
When asked about his public fallout with Musk, Trump said, "Oh, it's no problem." He also mentioned that things are going very smoothly, better than ever.
White House aides have arranged a call with Musk on Friday to facilitate reconciliation, attempting to ease the current tense situation. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment late Thursday regarding the potential easing of tensions.
Earlier, Trump also met with new German Chancellor Merz in the Oval Office to discuss the tense relations between the U.S. and Europe, while recalling an event held for Musk last week, pointing out that at that time his eyes were dark. "I asked him if he wanted to wear some makeup? But he said, 'No, I don't think so,' which was funny and nice," Trump said on Thursday. "He always wants to be himself."
