Elon Musk stepped back from his explosive feud with U.S.
President Donald Trump, writing on X that he regrets some of his
posts about his onetime ally and that they went “too far.”
Early Wednesday morning, he posted “I regret some of my posts
about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far.”
Musk's break with a president whom he spent hundreds of millions
of dollars to elect appeared to put an end to his influence in
the White House and prompted concerns about effects on his
companies. As a major government contractor, Musk’s businesses
could be particularly vulnerable to retribution, and Trump has
already threatened to cut Musk’s contracts.
Musk earlier deleted a post in which he claimed without evidence
that the government was concealing information about the
president’s association with infamous pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Meanwhile, other posts that irritated Trump, including ones in
which Musk called the spending bill an “abomination” and claimed
credit for Trump’s election victory, remained live.
On Sunday, Trump told NBC’s Kristen Welker that he has no desire
to repair their relationship and warned that Musk could face “
serious consequences ” if he tries to help Democrats in upcoming
elections.
