Trump and Musk Reconnect: A Dinner Signaling a Shift in Climate

Donald Trump and Elon Musk met again for dinner at Mar-a-Lago, signaling a shift in climate in their relationship after months of coolness and public disagreements. Musk posted a photo from the dinner on X, expressing his optimism for 2026. The meeting comes after a period of tension, during which Trump had stated he had no desire to communicate with Musk. However, he later acknowledged that Musk “went through a tough period” and that “deep down he is a good person.” The two men had previously met in September at a memorial service, but the recent meeting appears to have greater political significance. This rapprochement could influence political developments in the United States. At the same time, Musk expressed his support for the people of Venezuela and announced that Starlink would offer free internet access to the country, in a gesture of solidarity amid the crisis.
