- Musk attended Tuesday’s dinner with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, marking his first public White House visit since the summer feud with President Trump.
- The event was only their second joint public sighting since the rift, following a brief exchange at Charlie Kirk’s memorial in September.
- The fallout stemmed from debates over the “Big Beautiful Bill,” which Musk criticized for adding to the national debt as Republicans pointed to EV incentive phase-outs.
- No formal reconciliation or return to an administration role has been announced, though Musk has recently dialed back public criticism.
- Other prominent guests included Apple’s Tim Cook, AMD’s Lisa Su, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, and, per Reuters, Cristiano Ronaldo.
