Elon Musk sends 'thank you' note after Trump gave billionaire brutal reminder

The Elon Musk and Donald Trump bromance could be back on after the billionaire publicly thanked the US President for 'all he has done'.

Now, this friendship is seriously giving us whiplash and it feels like these two have been on and off again more times that Rachel and Ross.

For those who need a reminder, earlier this year, from January until May 30, the Tesla founder, 54, and Republican leader, 79, were getting on like a house on fire while Musk fronted the Department of Government Efficiency.

However, when it came to an end over a fallout about the Big Beautiful Bill, the two became embroiled in a feud, non-stop hurling insults at each on social media.

It's safe to say things got heated as Trump threatened to deport Musk out of the United States, while the tech mogul accused the Republican of being 'in the Epstein files'.

But then, things seem to be going in a positive direction again after the two sat next to each other at Charlie Kirk's funeral and on Tuesday (18 November) Musk attended a black tie dinner at the White House.

Also in attendance were Apple CEO Tim Cook, Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo and his fiancé Georgina Rodríguez, as well as First Lady Melania and a number of Trump's staff.

Then, on Wednesday (19 November), Trump, gave an address at the US-Saudi Investment Forum and spoke about the 'Big Beautiful Bill' - a touchy subject for himself and Musk.

He announced that there would be deductions on domestic car purchases within the government’s spending plan.

Trump elaborated: "If they buy a nice Tesla car and borrow the money” but then he cut himself off to say, "You are so lucky I am with you, Elon," before going on to ask: "Has he ever thanked me properly?"

Well, after the speech, Musk seems to have well and truly put the past behind him as he did just that.

Taking to Twitter, he wrote a gushy message of praise for his pal after they made up, which is a stark contrast from what we've seen in the past year.

He penned: “I would like to thank President Trump for all he has done for America and the world," alongside a photo of the duo with other leaders and businessmen at the forum.

It comes after the news that the world's richest man could be about to become a whole lot richer.

The billionaire is on track to earn a whopping $1 trillion, making him the first ever trillionaire.

Musk won a shareholder vote earlier this month that would give the Tesla CEO stock worth one trillion dollars (£760 billion) if he hits certain performance targets over the next decade.

The vote followed weeks of debate over his management record at the electric car maker and whether anyone deserved such unprecedented pay, drawing heated commentary from small investors to giant pension funds and even the pope.

In the end, more than 75 percent of voters approved the plan as shareholders gathered in Austin, Texas, for their annual meeting.
