What to expect from Elon Musk's Robotaxi

Dan Ives, Global Head of Technology Research at Wedbush Securities, breaks down how the feud between President Trump and Elon Musk has affected Tesla stock and hopes for Musk's robotaxi plan.

Elon Musk issued his strongest sign of contrition yet over his handling of the dramatic break with Donald Trump, days after a call with two of the president’s top allies.

Vice President JD Vance and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles called Musk last Friday to urge him to end his conflict with Trump, said people familiar with the conversation. The call was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.

Musk served as a close adviser and confidant to Trump until a bitter public falling-out last week, which caused a firestorm for the president and the world’s richest person.

“I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week,” Musk posted Wednesday on his social-media platform, X. “They went too far.”

The Tesla Inc. chief executive officer called the president before his public expression of regret, the New York Times reported Wednesday.

The dispute — which was triggered by Musk’s opposition to the tax-cut bill Trump is pushing through Congress — posed a threat to Musk’s wealth when the president raised the prospect of retaliating by cutting off his government contracts. That would have battered SpaceX, his rocket company.
