Musk De-escalates Trump Feud After Call from JD Vance, Susie Wiles

Vice President JD Vance and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles intervened to help de-escalate the public feud between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk by urging Musk to repair their relationship during a phone call last Friday. Following the discussion, Musk removed his most critical social media posts about Trump and expressed regret over some of his remarks, signaling a retreat from the conflict. Sources indicated that by the time of the call, Musk had already begun to back off, and President Trump was less upset than initially. While Trump stated that reconciling with Musk is not a priority, he acknowledged the possibility of making amends in the future. White House officials suggest there remains an open door for the two to eventually mend their alliance, despite the earlier dramatic fallout. This development highlights efforts within the administration to manage tensions between the president and influential tech figures.
