Riots Break Out in Los Angeles
Protests in Los Angeles turned into violent riots over the weekend. These riots began after government officials arrested several illegal immigrants in the city. Many people were upset and took to the streets. The situation quickly became tense. President Trump called the protesters ātroublemakersā and āinsurrectionistsā in a post on Truth Social. His strong words were meant to show that he would not tolerate violence.
Musk Shares Trumpās Statement
Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, surprised many by reposting Trumpās comments on the riots. This came just days after a public argument between the two. Musk had strongly criticized Trumpās tax bill earlier, calling it a ādisgusting abomination.ā But now, Musk seemed to agree with Trumpās response to the LA riots. He also shared a message from Vice President JD Vance supporting tough actions against the unrest.
Trump Sends Troops to LA
President Trump quickly acted after the riots began. He announced the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles to bring the city under control. By Sunday, at least 300 troops had already arrived. Trump blamed state leaders like Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass for failing to handle the situation. The White House said the goal was to stop the violence and restore peace in the city.
Past Tensions Between Musk and Trump
Musk and Trump have not always agreed. Earlier in 2025, Musk was working in the White House as a government advisor. He helped lead the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. But in June, he stepped down after arguing against Trumpās big spending plan. Musk said the bill would explode the national debt. Trump, in return, accused Musk of being upset about losing electric vehicle tax breaks.
Harsh Words on Social Media
The disagreement became public and harsh. Musk posted several angry messages on his social media platform X. He said the bill was full of wasteful spending. Trump responded by saying Musk had ātotally lost it.ā He also said he had no plans to talk with Musk over the phone. The two continued arguing online for hours. At one point, Musk claimed Trump wouldnāt have won the 2024 election without him.
Sudden Shift in Tone
Despite the heated argument, Musk changed his tone after the LA riots began. He shared posts that supported Trumpās handling of the violence. This sudden shift surprised many people, especially since their feud was very public. Musk appeared to back the idea of using military force to stop the chaos in Los Angeles. His actions suggested he was again siding with the Trump administration, at least on this issue.
Muskās Past Support for Trump
Musk has supported Trump in the past. In July 2024, after Trump survived an assassination attempt, Musk posted that he āfully endorsedā the president. Later that year, Musk appeared at a Trump rally wearing a red āMake America Great Againā cap. After Trumpās election victory in November, Musk was appointed to help lead DOGE. The two even appeared together at a SpaceX rocket launch after the election.
Inside the White House Partnership
In early 2025, Trump praised Musk at his inauguration, calling him a āstar.ā Musk then joined important CEO calls with other tech leaders. In February, he helped push new rules in government offices, including cost-cutting and return-to-office policies. But their partnership began to crack in March, when Trump reminded his Cabinet that Musk was not in charge. Musk later left DOGE in May after more disagreements.
No Comment from the White House
After the weekendās events and Muskās social media activity, reporters asked the White House for a comment. They did not immediately respond. Musk also remained silent after reposting Trumpās message. The sudden turn of events raised questions about Muskās position. But for now, the tech billionaire appears to support Trumpās strong action against the LA riots, despite their earlier conflict.
