While the relationship between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg was once thorny enough that Musk challenged Zuckerberg to a cagefight, things had warmed up by the early days of the second Trump administration — at least according to court documents published Friday.<\/p>\n

As reported by Engadget, these texts between Zuckerberg and Musk were released as part of Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI. They were sent on February 3, 2025, around the time Zuckerberg appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast to complain that corporate America had become “emasculated.”<\/p>\n

Referring to Musk’s aggressive government-slashing efforts through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Zuckerberg texted, “Looks like DOGE is making progress. I’ve got our teams on alert to take down content doxxing or threatening the people on your team. Let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help.”<\/p>\n

Musk reacted with a heart emoji, then asked, “Are you open to the idea of bidding on OpenAI with me and some others?”<\/p>\n

In response, the Meta CEO suggested discussing the idea over the phone. According to previously released documents, Zuckerberg never actually signed on to join Musk’s bid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
