Elon Musk and President Donald Trump appear to reconcile after political tensions over federal spending, sharing a "lovely dinner" at Mar-a-Lago following disagreements.

"I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore," Musk said in a June 3 post about Trump's Big Beautiful Bill.

"This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it," Musk complained.

Trump shot back that he was "very disappointed" in Musk's criticism of his bill at the time before adding, "Elon and I had a great relationship. I don’t know if we will anymore."

Musk shot back on X saying, "Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate."

At one point, Musk suggested he could form a new political party. But by late 2025, both sides appeared to strike a more conciliatory tone.

In September, the two were seen shaking hands at Charlie Kirk's memorial service in a box at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

Musk was also seen at a White House dinner in November as Trump hosted Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

FOX Business’ Edward Lawrence also asked Trump at a cabinet meeting on Dec. 2 if Musk was "back in [his] circle of friends" after their falling out.

"Well, I really don't know. I mean, I like Elon a lot," Trump replied.
