Elon Musk says he ‘regrets’ posts about Donald Trump following public dispute

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

The public dispute between Trump and Musk erupted last week after the president blasted the billionaire for opposing a Republican policy measure due to its projected impact on the deficit.

The clash quickly escalated, sparking fallout in Congress and affecting Tesla’s stock.

Amid the tensions, Tesla CEO Musk shared a series of posts on X targeting Trump, including a now-deleted post referencing Trump's past ties to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and even floated the idea of launching a new political party.

“We had a good relationship, I wish him well, very well,” Trump said on Monday, adding that he had not seriously considered whether he would respond if Musk called.

“I would imagine he wants to speak to me, I would think so,” the president added.
