Elon Musk is back to cheering President Donald Trump on — for now.
On Sunday night, amid protests in the Los Angeles area, Musk posted a screenshot of a Truth Social post from Trump denouncing California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass.
The president and his allies have cast the ongoing demonstrations, which began in response to immigration raids, as an “insurrection.” His administration ordered the deployment of 2,000 National Guard members to the LA area over Newsom’s objections.

Earlier on Sunday night, Musk reposted a Truth Social post screenshot from Vice President JD Vance about the administration’s response, adding two American flag emojis.
He also shared an image of a masked protester waving a Mexican flag on top of a damaged vehicle, writing: “This is not ok.”
The posts come just days after the feud between Musk and Trump reached a fever pitch last week. At one point, Musk approvingly shared a post suggesting that Trump be impeached, while Trump floated revoking Musk’s companies’ government contracts.
The public fighting between the two men largely subsided over the weekend, and Musk deleted some of his posts, including one declaring that Trump was in the “Epstein files.”
Trump has said that he has no plans to repair his relationship with Musk.
The feud began after Musk departed his role as the informal leader of the White House DOGE Office, with the tech titan criticizing Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” for adding trillions to the deficit over the next 10 years.
