Elon Musk signaled a truce with Trump late Thursday after a dramatic public feud rattled markets, wiped $34 billion from Musk’s net worth, and sank Tesla shares 14%, according to Bloomberg. Musk had earlier called for Trump’s impeachment and accused him of hiding ties to Jeffrey Epstein, prompting Trump to threaten SpaceX and Tesla’s federal contracts. The feud forced Republican lawmakers to navigate tensions between a major party donor and the GOP’s dominant political figure. White House aides scheduled a Friday call with Elon Musk to help ease tensions between him and Trump, according to Politico. The White House did not immediately comment on the effort Thursday night.
