Last week saw the internet’s biggest showdown with a fight between ‘MAGA’ voices, President Donald Trump, and business tycoon Elon Musk. A week after, the fire has seemingly fizzled out, and the matter now seems open for a mature reconciliation. The speculation comes in as Musk posted on X, saying, “I regret some of the posts I made about Trump last week. The content was too over-the-top.”
Did Elon Musk, Donald Trump make up?
I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 11, 2025
Last week, Musk frequently took to social media to engage in virtual exchanges with Trump. His most stinging blow to Trump was his post: “It’s time to drop the real bombshell: Trump shows up in Epstein’s files. That’s the real reason why those files haven’t been released. Have a great day, DJT!”
Finally speaking on the matter, yesterday, US President Trump stated, “I haven’t thought about having a conversation with Musk. I guess Musk might want to talk to me.”
Polymarket Doubles Down on Elon Musk–Donald Trump Beef
The impeachment speculations on Polymarket were fuelled after Elon Musk publicly agreed that US President Donald Trump “should be impeached” and Vice President JD Vance should replace him. This claim led to the prediction probability of the ‘President Trump to be impeached this year’ event on Polymarket rising to 10%. Note that, at present, the odds are at 9%.
But this is just one of the Trump vs. Musk market odds on Polymarket. Another one, ‘Trump and Elon publicly reconcile by Friday?’ currently sees a 18% chance.
Another market prediction, “Trump x Epstein files made public in 2025?” shows odds of 17%, which have grown by 4%.
The online spat began after the passage of the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’. In just a matter of hours, the two prominent figures launched serious attacks on each other. Trump, during a White House press briefing, criticized Musk while endorsing legislation that could severely harm electric vehicle manufacturers, Tesla chief among them.
Musk, too, did not mince his words, reminding the President that his seat in the Oval Office was largely secured thanks to Musk’s significant financial backing and vocal support during last year’s election. According to Musk, he invested hundreds of millions of dollars to help secure Trump’s victory.
Tesla’s stock took a serious hit following the bill’s passage. Musk unleashed a load of critical posts online, calling the legislation “The Big Ugly Bill.” Tesla stocks dropped by 14%, which drained $153 billion off Tesla’s market valuation.
