Trump Clarifies Position on Federal Contracts with Musk's Companies

President Donald Trump issued a statement Thursday clarifying his administration's position on federal contracts with Elon Musk's companies. The clarification came after White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested on Wednesday that the president might not support federal contracts going to Musk's artificial intelligence company, xAI. Trump posted on Truth Social that he wants Musk's businesses to thrive, contrary to reports suggesting he intended to withdraw government subsidies.
