Trump Says He Wants Musk’s Companies to ‘Thrive Like Never Before’

‘The better they do, the better the USA does, and that’s good for all of us,’ the president said.

President Donald Trump on July 24 said that he does not want to revoke tech billionaire Elon Musk’s contracts with the U.S. government, a day after the White House signaled that it may no longer be doing business with Musk’s artificial intelligence company.

“Everyone is stating that I will destroy Elon’s companies by taking away some, if not all, of the large-scale subsidies he receives from the U.S. Government,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “This is not so!”

On Wednesday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said she didn’t think Trump wanted to do business with xAI, after it had secured a $200 million contract with the Department of Defense.

When asked whether the Trump administration wanted to cancel the contract, she said she would discuss it with the president.

On Thursday, Trump said, “I want Elon, and all businesses within our Country, to THRIVE, in fact, THRIVE like never before!”

“The better they do, the better the USA does, and that’s good for all of us,” he added. “We are setting records every day, and I want to keep it that way!”

The development comes almost two months after Trump and Musk, who had developed a close relationship with the president while leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), had a bitter public falling out.

Musk had criticized the Republican-led One Big Beautiful Bill Act for its projected increases to the federal deficit, which he said ran counter to DOGE’s ambitions of slashing government spending and lowering the nation’s debt.

Trump disagreed with the assessment of the bill’s fiscal impact cited by Musk and chalked up the Tesla CEO’s reaction as frustration with the bill’s cancellation of tax incentives for electric vehicles, which Musk denied.

The former DOGE leader went a step further when he floated the idea of starting a new political party, leading to condemnations from the president and threats to end contracts with Musk’s companies, including SpaceX, a major aerospace contractor with the federal government.
