President Trump: Elon Musk Is “80% Super Genius, 20% Problems…I Always Liked Him. I Like Him Now.”

After falling out with Elon Musk a few months ago, President Trump appears ready to welcome him back into the fold.

Speaking to Scott Jennings, President Trump just revealed that he believes Elon Musk will re-join the Republican party instead of starting his own third party.

“I don’t think he has a choice,” President Trump said, “What’s he gonna do? He’s gonna go with the radical left lunatics? They’re lunatics.”

He also called Elon Musk “80% super genius, and then 20% he’s got some problems.”

However, President Trump said he has “always liked him” and still likes him now.

It would be great to see Elon Musk re-united with President Trump.

Hopefully, we will see it happen before midterms.

However, notably, Elon Musk was not invited to an upcoming tech CEO dinner that President Trump will host at the newly-renovated Rose Garden on Thursday night.

Mint reported on the guest list:

“The guest list is set to include Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and a dozen other executives from the biggest artificial intelligence and tech firms,” according to the White House.

One prominent name missing from the guest list is Elon Musk, a former close ally of Trump who was once appointed to lead the government-cutting Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The two had a public falling-out earlier this year.

The dinner is set to take place in the Rose Garden, which Trump recently renovated—replacing the grassy lawn with an arrangement of tables, chairs, and umbrellas that closely resemble the outdoor setup at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

“The Rose Garden Club at the White House is the hottest place to be in Washington, or perhaps the world. The president looks forward to welcoming top business, political, and tech leaders for this dinner and the many dinners to come on the new, beautiful Rose Garden patio,” White House spokesman Davis Ingle said in a statement.
