Musk, who has previously criticized Apple, now openly supports one of its features

Elon Musk, who has previously criticized Apple, seems to be supporting a new feature.

Apple CEO Tim Cook shared an ad for the company's new hearing aid offering on the X.

It shows a hard-of-hearing father using the Apple AirPods Pro 2 feature to listen to his daughter.

"This is beautiful," Musk said of the ad.

He also shared Cook's Thanksgiving message, where he said he was grateful for "Apple, its users, and everyone who is dedicated to making the world a better place."

It is known that the relationship of the founder of Tesla with Apple has not always been so friendly, he writes Business Insider, the Telegraph reports.

"Tensions" between them began in 2015 when Musk jokingly said in an interview that Apple has hired those who Tesla has rejected.

He added to the criticism again in June after Apple announced a partnership with OpenAI.

Musk posted a series of statements on X denouncing Apple's move to integrate ChatGPT as an optional feature across its software in iOS 18, calling it an "unacceptable security breach" and vowing to ban Apple products in his companies if the integration goes through.

Among other things, Musk also mocked Apple's attempt at Al, posting that the company wasn't "smart enough to create its own AI."

Otherwise, more than 30 million Americans suffer from some degree of hearing loss, according to the FDA.
