President Donald Trump has taken to Truth Social to extend a surprising olive branch to Elon Musk, vowing he doesn’t plan to “destroy” the Tesla CEO’s empire and actually wants him “to thrive.” The shift in tone comes amid an explosive public feud that saw Musk accusing Trump of appearing in Jeffrey Epstein’s secret files—a claim that Trump has tried desperately to deflect.

Elon Musk has weighed back into the Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein drama he helped create with a string of spicy social media posts. On Thursday, the president was pulled back into the Epstein saga after a Wall Street Journal article claimed Trump once sent the sex offender a letter including a drawing of a naked woman.
