Elon Musk says he “regrets” some of his posts last week during his feud with POTUS Donald Trump.
Musk took to Twitter/X this morning to offer contrition, saying his posts “went too far.” He did not specify which posts crossed a line, but he appears to have deleted his most nuclear pronouncement about Trump appearing in the Jeffrey Epstein files. The White House rubbished the unevidenced claim.
I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far.

Last week, Musk called Trump’s tax bill a “disgusting abomination,” leading to an explosive war of words between the Tesla boss and former ally Trump. Trump last week declared that their relationship was over, and that he had no interest in mending ties with Musk.
Musk urged Americans to call their representatives in Washington to “kill the bill.” In response, Trump said Musk had “lost his mind” and threatened to cancel his government contracts, which have an estimated value of $38B (£28B). Musk appeared to have deleted many of his posts over the weekend, including one that called for Trump’s impeachment.
Musk was the largest donor for Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign. The possibility of a potential thawing in relations appeared to be welcomed by investors. Tesla’s share price rose by 2.6% in pre-market trading.
