The often volatile alliance between the world's richest man and the world's most powerful leader appears to have entered a new, harmonious chapter, signalled by a single, potent digital gesture. Elon Musk, the mercurial owner of X (formerly Twitter), has updated his profile picture to a stark image of the American flag — a move widely interpreted as a silent but significant endorsement of President Donald Trump's audacious military intervention in Venezuela.
This symbolic realignment comes after a rocky period for the pair, suggesting that the feud which erupted last July, when Trump accused the 54-year-old tech mogul of 'using' him for political gain, has been firmly consigned to history. The timing of Musk's patriotic profile update is hardly coincidental.
