Elon Musk Rejoins Trump Orbit, Predicts Next Two Term President [WATCH]

Elon Musk told attendees at a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) reunion last month that he believes President Donald Trump’s administration will be followed by two terms of a JD Vance presidency, according to Politico.

Musk joined the event virtually and said the country was at the beginning of a “great 12-year span.”

Politico reported that Musk told the group he elected to appear remotely because the gathering had become public and he viewed himself as one of the most likely assassination targets in the United States, ranking himself behind only Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

Attendees at the reunion had their phones secured in pouches during the event and were not given them back until they boarded buses leaving the venue.

Musk’s relationship with Trump experienced tensions earlier this year following disagreement over the “Big Beautiful Bill,” a wide-ranging legislative package the president signed in July.

Despite that dispute, Trump said Tuesday that he still holds Musk in positive regard.

When asked during a Cabinet meeting whether Musk was again “in [his] circle of friends,” Trump said, “Well, I really don’t know. I mean, I like Elon a lot.”

He also noted Musk’s endorsement during the 2024 campaign and pointed to their policy differences on electric vehicles.

Musk played a prominent role in the early months of the second Trump administration.

He served as a special government employee and was the de facto leader of DOGE, an initiative focused on identifying and reducing federal overspending, fraud and mismanagement.

He frequently attended Cabinet meetings, appeared at public events with the president and participated in administrative reviews.

His tenure at DOGE concluded at the end of May.

During the 2024 election cycle, Musk campaigned for Trump by visiting battleground states that ultimately voted for Trump over Kamala Harris.

Trump repeatedly commended Musk’s DOGE efforts, which had drawn criticism from federal employees and Democratic officials earlier in the year.

The relationship between Musk and Trump encountered renewed strain in June when Musk began criticizing the legislative package the administration had been advocating.

Musk wrote on X that the bill would become the “BIGGEST DEBT ceiling increase in HISTORY,” and also posted a personal accusation involving Trump, writing that “@RealDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files.”

Trump has previously said the pair’s relationship changed when he announced plans to eliminate electric vehicle mandates.

In June, the president signed three congressional resolutions ending California’s diesel engine rules and its electric vehicle sales mandates, saying the action “will kill the California mandates forever.”

Following their public disagreement, Musk provided intermittent support to Trump’s actions on social media, including praising a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas in July.

Musk later attended a Trump-hosted event at the White House on November 18, where Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia joined dozens of business leaders for a dinner.
