Musk says he regrets social media posts targeting Trump: ‘They went too far’
Tech executive Elon Musk made headlines this week after publicly expressing regret for some of his recent social media posts attacking President Donald Trump. In a tweet on Wednesday, Musk admitted that his comments had “gone too far” and expressed remorse for his actions.
The feud between Musk and Trump escalated in recent weeks, with Musk criticizing the president for his handling of a spending bill that Musk had been working on as part of the Department of Government Efficiency. Musk accused Trump of ingratitude and even suggested that the president should be impeached and replaced by Vice President Vance.
At one point, Musk made a controversial claim that Trump was mentioned in the Justice Department’s files on the investigation into accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. This statement, along with others attacking Trump, led to a public spat between the two billionaires.
Trump, for his part, responded to Musk’s criticism by saying that the tech executive had “totally lost it” and accusing him of going “crazy.” The president also claimed that Musk had no problem with the spending bill until electric vehicle incentives were cut, a statement that Musk vehemently denied.
Despite their public feud, Musk and Trump seemed to be softening their stances towards each other in recent days. Trump expressed well wishes for Musk in a public statement, and Musk responded with a heart emoji. The two billionaires also appeared to be in agreement on their views regarding the anti-ICE demonstrations in Los Angeles, with Musk sharing a post from Trump criticizing the protesters and expressing support for decisive leadership.
Overall, the relationship between Musk and Trump has been a rollercoaster of emotions, with both men engaging in public spats and then seemingly finding common ground. It remains to be seen how their relationship will evolve in the future, but for now, it appears that the tensions between them may be easing.
