There has been a change in the icy relationship between the two and Musk has now been on telephone calls with Trump “several times a month,” as per the outlet.

<h2>Musk pushes business leaders to not support Biden</h2>

The world’s third-richest man, along with billionaire investor&nbsp;Nelson Peltz, spoke to Trump regarding an effort made by Musk to convince business leaders not to support President Joe Biden in November elections.

“President Trump will be the only voice of what role an individual plays in his presidency,” said senior Trump adviser Brian Hughes, while speaking to The New York Post.

“But it has been widely reported and is demonstrated in a number of ways, that many of the nation’s most important leaders in technology and innovation are concerned with the damage done to their industry by Biden’s failures to handle our economy and his moves to overburden innovators with government bureaucracy and unrelenting regulation," he added.

Social media platform X owner and founder of Tesla and Space X Musk had earlier said that he would not give money to either candidate and has always taken an anti-Biden stance.

However, the South African-born billionaire has always portrayed himself as an independent. In 2002, Musk became a US citizen.

After clinching victory on Super Tuesday and becoming a presumptive Republican nominee, Trump met Musk at Mar-a-Lago, reported the Wall Street Journal.

“America will fall if it tries to absorb the world. That is why I am banging the drum so much about this issue,” said Musk, while speaking about immigration&nbsp;in March.
