A Timeline of Elon Musk's and Donald Trump's Bromance

Musk backed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016 and former President Joe Biden in 2020, but did work with Trump at times during his first term. He said in 2017 that simply attacking Trump would "achieve nothing," calling for "open channels of communication" with the president.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump's relationship has evolved from Musk's initial support for Trump's presidency in 2016, where he advised on economic and manufacturing policies, to a more critical stance as Musk publicly disagreed with Trump's decisions, such as withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement. Their interactions have included both public spats, like when Trump criticized Musk's use of government subsidies, and moments of apparent camaraderie, such as when Musk visited Trump at the White House. Over time, Musk's relationship with Trump has been characterized by a mix of cooperation and conflict, with Musk eventually endorsing other political figures and distancing himself from Trump, especially evident during the 2020 election and its aftermath, where Musk criticized Trump's handling of the election results and the January 6th Capitol riot.
