President Trump addressed his current relationship with Elon Musk following their public disagreement over the One Big Beautiful Bill. Despite their falling out earlier this year, Trump stated that he still likes Musk and praised his previous support during the 2024 campaign. Musk had played a significant role in the administration, leading efforts to improve government efficiency and advocating for Trump in key battleground states.

Their partnership soured in June when Musk criticized the sweeping legislation signed by Trump, particularly its impact on the national debt and electric vehicle mandates. The disagreement led to a public split, although Musk continued to occasionally support Trump's actions on social media. Recent events have seen the two appearing together at public functions, suggesting a possible thaw in their relationship.

Trump's comments came during a Cabinet meeting, where he reflected on Musk's contributions and their shared history, while acknowledging ongoing differences over policy.
