President Trump today praised Elon Musk and Tesla, calling Elon "a friend of mine," after Elon Musk wrote on X that: "I regret some posts aimed at President [Trump] last week. They went too far."

President Trump stated that he was surprised when Elon supported him, even though he had rolled back the mandatory electric vehicle regulations, but Elon said: "As long as it applies to everyone, I can still compete."

When asked about the possibility of reconciliation, President Trump replied: "I have no animosity at all."
