Tesla Shares Recover Some Losses as Musk-Trump Tension Eases

Tesla Inc.’s shares rose Friday after Elon Musk suggested he was open to making amends with President Donald Trump, easing tensions after their simmering feud erupted into a public war of words a day earlier.

The chief executive officer of Tesla and SpaceX agreed with a user on social media platform X that he should “cool off and take a step back for a couple days.” Later, in a separate reply to billionaire Bill Ackman, an ally of Trump and Musk who said they should “make peace for the benefit of our great country,” Musk responded that Ackman was “not wrong.”
