Any "reconciliation" will inevitably be temporary and short-lived. It's clear that their egos and need to be in control are hopelessly in conflict. And there's no doubt that both of them now hold the other in contempt and distrust. They'll turn on each other again soon enough.

“Several U.S. government agencies in 2022 and 2023 tracked foreign nationals coming and going to Elon Musk’s properties, according to people familiar with the matter.

The investigation included the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department. It focused on people visiting the tech billionaire, from countries in Eastern Europe and elsewhere, who might have been trying to influence him. Until last week, Musk was one of President Trump’s closest advisers.

The investigation didn’t progress to charges and its current status couldn’t be determined. Officials at several agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, had been briefed on it.

The probe, predating the current Trump administration, highlights concerns about the number of foreign nationals in Musk’s orbit.

… Musk traveled with foreigners to such an extent that the staff of his super PAC, which he started last year to help re-elect Trump, became concerned about who was joining him at meetings and events, two people familiar with the group’s operations said.

… The Wall Street Journal reported in October that Musk has been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since late 2022. Musk’s contacts with foreign nationals led SpaceX lawyers to advise him against seeking a higher security clearance, for fear that he might have to explain the relationships or have his clearance revoked entirely, the Journal reported.…”

What interests me most is who leaked this story and why now? It certainly looks like a post-break-up leak, but it is not a great story for Trump Admin vetting to admit Trump’s chief advisor for the first 100 days had been under survey for his extensive network of high ranking foreign contacts.
