Mars Finance News, on June 10th, over the weekend, Musk deleted some of his most inflammatory posts about Trump on the X platform, including calls for impeachment and claims without evidence that Trump's name appeared in crime-related documents of sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein. Musk seemed to fully support the Trump administration's stance on the Los Angeles situation, adding an American flag emoji under a post by Vice President J.D. Vance stating that "the President will not tolerate riots and violence". Long-standing, Musk has consistently supported border closure, stopping illegal immigration, and deportation actions, which align with the Trump administration's position. Musk also reshared a screenshot of Trump's post on Truth Social, suggesting that California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass "should apologize to the people of Los Angeles" - at a time of ongoing local conflicts, burning vehicles, and escalating protests. He commented "cool" on a video of Vance being interviewed, where Vance said he believed "everything would be fine if Elon was a bit calmer". Additionally, the Tesla CEO refocused on White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller - who was considered one of the primary architects of Trump's immigration policies, after previously unfollowing Miller during a conflict with Trump last Thursday. However, this does not mean Musk has completely returned to a positive attitude towards the Trump administration. He continues to oppose Trump's domestic policy bill (in a more subtle manner), which has passed the House and is currently under Senate review. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives commented, "Ultimately, Trump needs Musk to remain in the Republican camp, and Musk needs Trump for many reasons, including paving the way for a federal autonomous driving framework."
