U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance has publicly urged Elon Musk to rejoin the MAGA movement ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Vance described Musk's current distancing from former President Donald Trump as a mistake and expressed hope that Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, will "come back into the fold" by the time of the midterms. Vance emphasized the importance of unity within the movement to secure electoral success. Despite Vance's calls, it is unclear whether Musk is receptive to reengaging with the MAGA movement, with reports suggesting Musk may not currently be taking Vance's calls. President Trump has recently refrained from criticizing Musk, referring to him as a "good person." The request from Vance highlights Musk's perceived influence within the political faction as the midterm elections approach.
