The relationship between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, who had previously been contentious, has reportedly warmed up by early in the second Trump administration. The texts were released as part of Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI. They were sent on February 3, 2025, around the time Zuckerberg complained about corporate America becoming "emasculated". In response, Zuckerberg offered to help with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is being targeted for content doxxing or threatening. However, he did not sign on to join the bid.
