On Monday, Trump spoke up. Although Musk did some confusing things earlier this year, his relationship with the world's richest man is still quite good.

Trump also revealed that since they were photographed talking at Charlie Kirk's memorial in September, they have chatted intermittently a few times. While on Air Force One flying from Malaysia to Japan, Trump told reporters, "I really like Elon, I've always liked him."

In June, the two had a public and intense argument. Trump felt that Musk was in a bad state at the time, going through a rough patch, and that it was just a moment of confusion, which he considered to be a particularly foolish moment in his life; Musk would probably say the same. Nevertheless, Trump stated that he likes Musk and believes he will continue to like him.

Since this summer, Musk has criticized Trump less and has rarely mentioned what he previously said about forming a new third-party political party once Trump's massive bill passes. #加密市场观察
