Mark Zuckerberg reportedly texted Elon Musk offering help with DOGE as their once-hostile relationship appeared to thaw

Mark Zuckerberg reportedly reached out to Elon Musk by text to offer assistance with DOGE during the early days of the second Trump administration. The exchange suggests a notable shift after years of public tension, including Musk’s earlier cage-fight challenge to Zuckerberg.

The outreach points to a broader realignment among major tech leaders as they seek influence in Washington’s new policy environment. A thaw between Zuckerberg and Musk could signal more pragmatic cooperation among rivals when regulatory access and government priorities are at stake.
