Elon Musk Reconciles With Trump Amid Los Angeles Immigration Protests

Elon Musk, after a recent public feud with President Donald Trump involving calls for impeachment and allegations related to Epstein, has shifted his stance to support the Trump administration amid violent protests in Los Angeles sparked by ICE raids. Musk deleted his earlier critical posts and began endorsing Trump's hardline immigration policies by reposting messages from Trump and Vice President JD Vance condemning the riots and demanding accountability from California officials Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. The Tesla CEO re-followed Stephen Miller, a key Trump aide on immigration, signaling a reconciliation as Musk aligned with the administration's deployment of the National Guard to restore order. Trump’s posts, amplified by Musk, framed the protests as lawless riots by “illegal aliens and criminals,” calling for decisive federal action to end the unrest. Although Musk’s recent social media activity suggests a thaw in relations, the full extent of their reconciliation remains uncertain given the prior acrimony. This development reflects the complex interplay between Musk’s political influence and the Trump administration’s response to immigration enforcement and civil unrest.
