From frenemies to 'First Buddy,' here's how Elon Musk and Donald Trump's relationship has evolved

Elon Musk and Donald Trump's relationship has evolved from a distant and somewhat adversarial stance to a more friendly and supportive dynamic. Initially, Musk publicly criticized Trump, particularly during Trump's presidency, and even voted for his opponent, Hillary Clinton, in 2016. However, as Musk's political views shifted more to the right and he faced criticism from the left, his interactions with Trump became more positive. This shift was evident when Musk met with Trump in March 2023 at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, and Trump later praised Musk, suggesting he would be an asset to the country. Musk has also expressed support for some of Trump's policies, such as his stance on China and immigration, and has considered advising Trump if he were to win the 2024 presidential election. This evolving relationship highlights a significant change from their earlier "frenemies" status to what could be described as "first buddies."
