[Trump and Musk Fully Mend Relations: Plan to Invest at Least $100 Million to Help Republicans Win Midterm Elections]
BlockBeats News, August 14—According to sources, Trump and Musk have been steadily repairing their relationship after last year's public fallout. They have now resumed regular contact, and Musk plans to invest at least $100 million through the 'America Political Action Committee' (America PAC) to help Republicans retain control of Congress in the November midterm elections.
Reportedly, the two currently speak by phone about once a month, discussing topics such as artificial intelligence, China, and global affairs. In May of this year, Musk reappeared aboard Trump's 'Air Force One' and introduced plans to build new factories in the United States. More importantly, Musk signaled to Trump's team at the time that he would continue to participate in Republican election activities.
Trump and Musk were once key allies during the 2024 presidential campaign, but publicly fell out in June last year over issues such as the government spending bill, engaging in heated exchanges on social media. Musk even accused Trump of being 'ungrateful' and threatened to cut off SpaceX's cooperation with the government. Since then, multiple figures within the Trump administration have worked to repair their relationship. Vice President Vance, Donald Trump Jr., and the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk have all been seen as important intermediaries.
As SpaceX's strategic position within the U.S. defense and national security systems continues to grow, the Trump administration has found it increasingly difficult to ignore Musk's influence. At the same time, the renewed alignment between the two also carries practical political benefits. If Democrats regain control of Congress, Trump and his family could face investigations, while Musk, who heavily relies on government contracts, could also face political pressure.
It is reported that Musk will not replicate the high-profile political role he played during the 2024 campaign, nor will he revisit the radical approaches he adopted while leading the 'Department of Government Efficiency.' Last month, Musk admitted that he had been 'a bit overly involved in politics' previously and acknowledged that he had 'gotten carried away.'
Currently, Trump and Musk have shifted from public discord to limited cooperation, with personal grievances giving way to shared interests in the midterm elections, SpaceX government contracts, and AI-related fields. [Original Link]
