After weeks of clashing with the US president
Donald Trump
over his 'One Big, Beautiful Bill', a sweeping tax and spending package that Tesla CEO
Elon Musk
said would drive the US with trillions in debt, the tech billionaire is now giving Trump credit for his
international diplomacy
efforts, as per a report.
A Surprising Post from Elon Musk
The world's richest man wrote in a post on his social media platform X (previously Twitter), saying, 'Credit where credit is due,' and added that, '[Trump] has successfully resolved several serious conflicts around the world,' as quoted by The Hill in its report.
That was quite a shift from Musk's tone just weeks ago, when he publicly threatened to start his own political party in response to the bill, as he had warned that if the Senate passed it, 'I will found an American Party,' as per his X post.

Trump Administration Brokering Peace in International Conflicts
This is not the only international conflict Trump has sought to resolve since returning to the White House in January, as reported by The Hill.
According to the report, the Trump administration has also tried to broker a peace deal in Russia's war against Ukraine. Trump even intervened to end the 12-day military conflict between Israel and Iran after launching a US military strike against Tehran's nuclear facilities and then the administration also facilitated a peace treaty last week between Rwanda and Congo to end fighting in eastern Congo, as reported by The Hill.
While Trump's allies have also nominated the US president to receive a long-sought Nobel Peace Prize for his approach to the multiple international conflicts, according to the report. However, Trump posted on Truth Social last month that he doesn't expect the award as he said, 'No, I won't get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do, including Russia/Ukraine, and Israel/Iran, whatever those outcomes may be, but the people know, and that's all that matters to me!' as quoted by The Hill.
