Want Elon to thrive like never before: Trump walks back on threats to Musk

Following the recent fallout with business tycoon Elon Musk, US President Donald Trump has softened his stance on the SpaceX owner and said that he wants him and his businesses to thrive. In a Truth Social post on Thursday, Trump refuted claims that he will destroy Elon Musk’s companies by withdrawing the large-scale subsidies received by his companies from the US government.

Trump clarified that he wants Musk and all businesses within the United States to thrive like never before.

“Everyone is stating that I will destroy Elon’s companies by taking away some, if not all, of the large scale subsidies he receives from the U.S. Government. This is not so! I want Elon, and all businesses within our Country, to THRIVE, in fact, THRIVE like never before!” he wrote.

He also wrote that the growth of the US depends on the growth of the nation’s businesses and the whole country will benefit out of it.

“The better they do, the better the USA does, and that’s good for all of us. We are setting records every day, and I want to keep it that way!” said Trump.
