Elon Musk and Donald Trump have been trading sharp words recently. But now, Musk reshared a Trump post blaming California leaders for the LA riots. This might hint at a thaw in Musk-Trump tensions.
The post Trump shared criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass. Trump called them out for failing to control the riots, calling the protesters “troublemakers and insurrectionists.” He even demanded they apologize to the people of Los Angeles.

On Sunday, the city saw intense clashes after Trump sent 2,000 National Guard troops to calm the unrest. This move used a special federal law that allows the president to take charge of the National Guard. However, Governor Newsom called Trump’s action a serious breach of state rights. He said, “We didn’t have a problem until Trump got involved,” and asked Trump to revoke the order.
The riots began after immigration raids sparked protests. Police responded with tear gas and rubber bullets, escalating tensions.
Now, what does all this mean for the average person? For Californians, it’s a chaotic scene with politics mixing into public safety. For Musk and Trump, this is more than just about LA—it’s a political showdown played out on social media.
Not long ago, Musk and Trump were allies. They backed each other publicly and promised to “Make America Great Again.” But last week, things changed. Musk criticized the government’s “Big, Beautiful Bill,” and the two started a bitter war of words.
In a surprising twist, Musk recently ran a poll on his social platform, X, about creating a new political party called the America Party. The poll showed 80% support.
Adding to the drama, Trump’s former special advisor deleted posts linking Trump to the Epstein files, fueling rumors of a possible Musk-Trump reconciliation.
So, could this resharing of Trump’s post by Musk be the first sign of peace? Or is it just another chess move in a bigger game?
One thing’s clear: these two billionaires know how to keep us watching. As Musk and Trump play their political chess, the rest of us are left wondering what’s next.
