The spectators are all waiting for this call. Will Trump and Musk have the "reconciliation of the century"?

While Wall Street was still digesting the shockwaves of the public rift between Trump and Musk, the White House had quietly launched crisis public relations - arranging a call between Trump and Musk tonight. Aides suggested that Trump focus on pushing the "Big Beautiful" bill through the Senate rather than the conflict with Musk.

While Wall Street was still digesting the shockwaves of the public fallout between Trump and Marshall, the White House had quietly initiated crisis public relations - would a phone call scheduled for Friday lead to the "reconciliation of the century" between the two sides?

Last night, the American political stage took a dramatic 180-degree turn. On the same day that Musk bombarded Trump's "big beautiful bill", the US president acted calmly in an interview with overseas media.

"Oh, that's all right," Trump said in a telephone interview with the media today when talking about his public break with the former super-donor. "Everything is going well. It has never been better." He then began to brag about his approval rating, saying, "The numbers are off the charts. This is the highest poll I've ever had."

This understatement is in stark contrast to the heated exchange between the two on social media a few hours ago. More importantly, Trump's staff has arranged a call between the president and Musk tonight to try to broker a peace.

Wall Street tycoons rush to put out fire

When the feud between the two most powerful men in the world threatens to derail a multi-trillion-dollar legislative process, financial heavyweights are getting restless. Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman was the first to call for a ceasefire on the X platform.

"I support Trump and Musk, and they should reconcile for the good of our great country."

Musk's response is intriguing: "You're right."

Netizen Alaska advised both to calm down and take a step back. Musk responded: Good suggestion, I will not retire the Dragon spacecraft.

This subtle statement was interpreted by the market as a positive signal of reconciliation, indicating that Musk is open to easing tensions. Well-known media person Joe Weisenthal lamented that a small account with only 184 followers "promoted the easing of tensions between the two most powerful people in the world."

Can the grudge ever come to an end?

According to media reports, citing sources close to the White House, Trump's aides have been persuading the president to tone down his public criticism of Musk to avoid further escalation. This effort was effective on Thursday - Trump clearly restrained his words on his Truth Social platform.

"I don't mind Elon being against me, but he should have done it months ago," Trump wrote, before shifting gears to emphasize the importance of the bill:

"This is one of the greatest bills ever put before Congress."

White House aides advised Trump to focus on pushing the bill through the Senate rather than the conflict with Musk.

The dispute centered on Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" -- legislation that consolidates the president's core agenda, covering everything from tax cuts to immigration enforcement. Musk expressed strong dissatisfaction with the bill's projected cost of adding $2.4 trillion to the deficit, a disagreement that led to a public standoff between the two men.

As the bill faces a crucial vote in the Senate, any political noise that could affect its passage is seen as an unacceptable risk. Friday's call may determine whether the ambitious legislation can move forward smoothly and whether the personal feud between the two business tycoons will give way to larger political realities.
