Former Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said Tuesday that Democrats would “welcome” tech billionaire Elon Musk “helping us out” after an intense clash between Musk and President Trump last week.
“I think the Democrats would welcome him helping us out, politically, but — financially, etc.,” Granholm said at Politico’s 2025 Energy Summit. “But, maybe, maybe not, I don’t know. I’m not running.”
Last Thursday, a fight between Musk and Trump over the president’s “big, beautiful bill” earlier in the week escalated rapidly on Musk’s X platform and Trump’s Truth Social platform. The president said the tech billionaire “just went CRAZY!” and threatened Musk’s government contracts. Musk alleged that Trump had ties to convicted sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein on X.
The public spat followed the end of Musk’s recent service in the Trump administration and an alliance with the president that appeared to start off strong. Musk endorsed Trump in July 2024 in the wake of Trump surviving an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.
Musk’s administration service was marked by intense backlash from those on the left and Democrats over actions taken by Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on the federal government.
Trump’s ex-personal attorney Michael Cohen on Saturday said that Trump isn’t done with tech billionaire Elon Musk yet.
“They’re going to really go after Elon Musk like nobody has seen, ever, in this country, because they can,” Cohen told MSNBC’s Ali Velshi.
