Tonight, the onlookers are all waiting for this call: Will Trump have a "historic reconciliation" with Musk?

While Wall Street is still digesting the shockwave of "Te Ma" publicly tearing apart, the White House has quietly initiated crisis public relations—arranging for Trump to speak with Musk tonight. Staffers suggested that Trump focus on pushing the "Big Beautiful" bill through the Senate, rather than the conflict with Musk
While Wall Street is still digesting the shockwaves of "Te Ma" publicly tearing apart, the White House has quietly initiated crisis public relations—will a scheduled phone call on Friday achieve a "century reconciliation" between the two sides?
Last night, a dramatic 180-degree turn unfolded on the American political stage. On the same day that Musk bombarded Trump with criticism over the "Big Beautiful Bill," the American president appeared calm and collected during an interview with overseas media.
"Oh, it's fine," Trump said in a media phone interview today when discussing the public break with his former super donor, "Everything is going smoothly, never been better." He then began to boast about his approval ratings, claiming, "The numbers are off the charts; this is my highest poll ever."
This nonchalant attitude sharply contrasts with the fierce exchanges the two had on social media just hours earlier. More importantly, Trump's aides have arranged for the president to speak with Musk tonight, attempting to mediate a peace.
Wall Street Tycoons Urgently Extinguish the Fire
When the feud between the two most powerful men in the world threatens a legislative process involving trillions of dollars, heavyweight figures in finance can no longer sit idly by. Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman was the first to call for a ceasefire on the X platform.
"I support Trump and Musk; they should reconcile for the sake of our great country."
Musk's response was intriguing: "You are right."
Netizen Alaska advised both to calm down and take a step back. Musk replied: Good suggestion, I won't retire the Dragon spacecraft.
This subtle statement was interpreted by the market as a positive signal for reconciliation, indicating Musk's openness to easing tensions. Notable media personality Joe Weisenthal remarked that a small account with only 184 followers "drove the reconciliation of the two most powerful people in the world."
Will the Feud Come to an End?
According to media reports citing sources close to the White House, Trump's aides have been persuading the president to tone down his public criticism of Musk to avoid further escalation of the situation. This effort showed results on Thursday—Trump noticeably restrained his language on his Truth Social platform.
"I don't mind Elon opposing me, but he should have done it months ago," Trump wrote, then shifted to emphasize the importance of the bill:
"This is one of the greatest bills submitted to Congress."White House aides suggest that Trump focus on pushing the bill through the Senate rather than on his conflict with Musk.
At the heart of this dispute is Trump's "Great Beautiful Bill"—a piece of legislation that integrates the president's core agenda, covering various aspects from tax cuts to immigration enforcement. Musk has expressed strong dissatisfaction with the bill's projected cost of adding $2.4 trillion to the deficit, a disagreement that has directly led to a public confrontation between the two.
As the bill faces a crucial vote in the Senate, any political noise that could affect its passage is seen as an intolerable risk. Friday's call may determine whether this ambitious legislation can move forward smoothly and whether the personal feud between the two business titans will give way to larger political realities
