Musk: I regret some of my posts about Trump

Tech billionaire Elon Musk says he regrets making some of his recent social media posts attacking President Donald Trump.

In a post on X, Musk admitted the posts went “too far.”

“I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far,” Musk wrote on Wednesday.

This comes after a recent public spat between the two as Musk began criticizing Trump for his “big beautiful” spending bill after the billionaire tech executive spent months working to cut wasteful spending as part of the Department of Government Efficiency, which Musk has since departed.

At one point, Musk claimed Trump was in the Justice Department’s files on its investigation into accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, saying that was why the president’s administration has not made them public.

“Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files,” Musk wrote.

“That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!”

Musk later deleted the post, according to Fox News.

Other posts from Musk included a claim that Trump would not have won the election without his help while accusing Trump of “ingratitude.”

In another post, Musk suggested that Trump should be impeached and replaced by Vice President Vance.

Trump said last week he is not interested in talking to Musk, telling Fox News that “Elon’s totally lost it.”

The president also said while speaking with reporters in the Oval Office last week that he was “very disappointed” in Musk’s vocal criticisms of his spending bill.

Trump claimed Musk knew what was in the bill and “had no problem” with it until electric vehicle incentives were cut, an assessment Musk slammed as “false.”

The president also criticized Musk on social media, saying in one post: “Elon was ‘wearing thin,’ I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!”
