Musk's initial tweet about decommissioning Dragon responded to a Truth Social post by Trump, who wrote, "The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts."
"I was always surprised that Biden didn't do it!" the president added.
An X user with the handle @Fab25june on Thursday evening asked Musk to reconsider.
"This is a shame this back and forth," @Fab25june tweeted at Musk. "You are both better than this. Cool off and take a step back for a couple days."
Musk quickly answered: "Good advice. Ok, we won't decommission Dragon."
Joe Weisenthal, co-host of Bloomberg's "Odd Lots" podcast, screen-grabbed the exchange in a tweet of his own, and quipped, "An account with 184 followers has achieved de-escalation between two of the most powerful people in the world."
How much of a de-escalation, how long it will last and how serious Musk is about Dragon's fate, one way or the other, remains to be seen.
Musk was blistering in his tweets aimed at Trump and his so-called One Big, Beautiful Bill on Thursday. And it was not clear if he would hold his fire against either in the coming days.
Nor is it clear that Trump will forgive him, or refrain from lashing out against Musk, who until last Friday had been one of his top government advisors, and who spent more than a quarter billion dollars supporting Trump's 2024 White House campaign.
"Without me, Trump would have lost the election," Musk tweeted earlier Thursday.
"Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate," added Musk
"Such ingratitude," he wrote.
