Zuckerberg Texts Musk Offering Help With DOGE

Mark Zuckerberg reached out to Elon Musk by text to offer assistance with the Department of Government Efficiency—a stark shift from their public feuding just years earlier. The two tech moguls went from trading barbs and cagefight challenges to collaborating as the second Trump administration took shape in early 2026.

The outreach signals an unexpected thaw in what was once an openly hostile relationship. Zuckerberg’s offer suggests the Meta CEO is willing to lend resources or expertise to Musk’s government efficiency initiative, a major undertaking that aims to streamline federal spending and operations.

Details about what specific help Zuckerberg proposed remain unclear, but the move underscores how quickly dynamics between tech’s biggest names can shift when political winds change. Both executives have positioned themselves as power players in Trump’s orbit, and this collaboration could reshape how Silicon Valley engages with Washington.
