Musk Warms Up to Trump After Public Spat, Reposts MAGA Messages Amid L.A. Chaos.
After torching bridges with the very president who once rolled out the Oval Office red carpet for him, Elon Musk is singing a new tune — and it sounds a lot like “Trump was right.”
Just days ago, Musk went nuclear, attacking President Trump’s economic bill, even dredging up long-debunked Epstein conspiracies in a scorched-earth tweetstorm that had MAGA world up in arms. But now, in the heat of real crisis — with Los Angeles aflame and ICE under siege — Musk appears to be walking it all back. Fast.
Let’s call it what it is: a high-profile backpedal from a man who knows power when he sees it. And in America right now, power wears a red tie and doesn’t blink under fire.
The Flip: From “Impeach Trump” to “He Was Right All Along”
Musk’s reversal has been swift and public. Over the weekend, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO reshared President Trump’s blistering Truth Social statement:
“Governor Gavin Newscum and ‘Mayor’ Bass should apologize to the people of Los Angeles for the absolutely horrible job that they have done… These are not protesters; they are troublemakers and insurrectionists. Remember, NO MASKS!” — Donald J. Trump, Truth Social
Then Musk added a gut-punch of his own. He posted a now-viral image of a masked rioter waving a Mexican flag atop a burning vehicle, declaring:
“This is not ok.”
No room for ambiguity. No caveats. Just Musk publicly agreeing with the president’s crackdown on anti-ICE riots — riots fueled by open-border chaos and leftist leadership failure.
JD Vance, Rapid Response, and the Musk Echo Chamber
If there was any doubt Musk is trying to patch things up, consider what else he shared. He amplified a post from Senator JD Vance:
“People who were already violating the law are only violating the law because President Trump started enforcing the law. This is the logic of Newsom and his stooges.”
And he boosted the Rapid Response 47 team, who dismantled L.A. Mayor Karen Bass’s shameful claim that immigration enforcement — not violent rioters — was to blame for the chaos.
Musk didn’t just click “like.” He put his 220+ million followers behind the message. That’s not subtle. That’s strategic.
Why the Sudden Shift?
Was it pressure from billionaire Bill Ackman and other mutuals urging unity for the “sake of the country”? Was it a realization that he picked a fight with the one man who doesn’t need Silicon Valley approval to lead the free world?
Or maybe — just maybe — Musk looked around at the wreckage in L.A., saw ICE officers under attack, saw the Mexican flag flying over scorched pavement, and realized something President Trump has said for years:
We either have a country or we don’t.
Trump Was Right. Again.
The chaos in Los Angeles — broken windows, Molotov cocktails, masked mobs — didn’t start because of Trump. It started because America finally started enforcing the law again after years of being told it was racist to have borders.
As one of Musk’s own reposts put it:
“The riots in LA aren’t happening because ICE broke the law. They’re happening because ICE is actually enforcing the law.” — Jeffery Mead
And when state leaders like Newsom and Bass refused to back ICE, the president acted. Trump didn’t flinch. He federalized the National Guard, deployed Marines, and told the truth no one else dared say:
“These Radical Left protests, by instigators and often paid troublemakers, will NOT BE TOLERATED.”
The Real Message: Strength Wins
Trump’s message hasn’t changed. He believes in borders, law and order, and the safety of American citizens. Period. Whether the Left or Elon Musk likes it or not.
Musk may not be ready to admit he overstepped — but his feed is doing the talking. And if history tells us anything, it’s that many critics eventually circle back when Trump proves right.
They don’t have to like him. But they can’t ignore what leadership looks like.
Final Thought
In the battle between Silicon Valley posturing and presidential backbone, the scoreboard doesn’t lie.
America saw chaos in L.A.
Trump saw a job to be done.
And now? Even Elon Musk sees it too.
