The sudden feud between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump may be ending, or at the very least appears to be softening slightly.
Musk’s response to a clip of the president wishing him “very well” was only one emoji, but it was enough to signal that the relationship between the two isn’t irreparably broken. Trump was asked by a reporter if he plans to “get rid of the Tesla and Starlink service” at the White House, and his response was nothing but class.

“No, I haven’t heard that. I mean, I may move the Tesla around a little bit, but I don’t think we’ll be doing that with Starlink, it’s a good service,” Trump answered.
“Where are you going to move [the Tesla] to? Move it around, what do you mean?” the reporter pressed.
“I have a lot of locations,” the president smiled. “I have so many locations, I don’t know what to do with them all.”
“About the Tesla, did you ever see Elon Musk get physical with the treasury secretary?”
“No, I didn’t. No, I didn’t, I didn’t see a lot of physicality there,” Trump said.
“There was this New York Times report that he didn’t want to talk about, Elon Musk, that alleged that he, during the end of his time in the White House, he was blurring the lines between recreational use of drugs and medicinal. Do you think he ever had drugs here at the White House?”
“I really don’t know, I don’t think so. I hope not. Look, I wish him well, you understand, we had a good relationship, and I wish him well. Very well, actually,” the president concluded.
Responding to the video, Musk simply commented with a heart emoji:
