🚀🔥 Musk 'apologizes' to Trump – Has last week's drama come to a close?
• Last week: Elon Musk fired up on Twitter, criticizing the economic bill 'Big Beautiful Bill' and downplaying Trump's leadership achievements.
• Climax: Musk continuously 'replied' to Trump, accusing the president of manipulating the release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein; while boasting that he is the key to winning in 2024.
• Trump responded immediately: calling Musk 'crazy', threatening to review defense-space contracts between NASA, SpaceX, and the Pentagon.
• After being advised by close aides, Musk deleted numerous tweets, made private calls to Vice President JD Vance and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles to 'put out the fire'.
• Wednesday: Musk posted a new tweet – officially apologizing, admitting that his comments "went too far" and hoping to 'cool down' tensions.
• Trump spoke for 5 minutes with the New York Post, appearing 'surprised', asserting 'no hard feelings' but admitting to being 'slightly disappointed'.
• Key point: Trump maintains his stance that his 2024 victory will not be thanks to the support of any billionaire, while Musk wants to assert his personal weight in the political arena.
• Observers suggest that the apology is necessary for Musk to protect the interests of SpaceX (Starship, Starlink) and Tesla in the upcoming U.S. administration.
🤔 In your opinion, does this “drama” really impact the 2024 voter ballot, or is it just a temporary online storm?
