The connection between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, which previously had its conflicts including Musk challenging Zuckerberg to a cage match, seems to have improved by the onset of the second Trump administration — at least as per court records made public on Friday.

According to Engadget, these messages exchanged between Zuckerberg and Musk were unveiled as part of Musk’s legal action against OpenAI. They were communicated on February 3, 2025, coinciding with Zuckerberg’s appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast where he voiced concerns that corporate America had become “emasculated.”

In relation to Musk’s bold initiatives to cut down government through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Zuckerberg texted, “It appears that DOGE is advancing. I’ve alerted our teams to address any content doxxing or threatening individuals on your team. Inform me if there’s anything more I can assist with.”

Musk responded with a heart emoji, then inquired, “Are you receptive to the notion of co-bidding on OpenAI with me and a few others?”

In reply, the Meta CEO proposed discussing the concept via phone. Previous documents indicate that Zuckerberg ultimately did not agree to participate in Musk’s bidding effort.
