X: Elon Musk expresses regret over Trump posts after online feud

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has admitted that some of his recent social media posts about U.S. President Donald Trump “went too far”, following a highly publicized online feud between the two former allies.

 

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO made the remark on Wednesday morning in a post on X, the platform he owns, after days of heated exchanges with Trump.

 

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

 

The feud erupted shortly after Musk resigned from his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a position he had controversially held under the Trump administration.

 

Musk criticized Trump’s proposed “Big Beautiful Bill,” claiming it would reverse much of DOGE’s streamlining efforts.

 

As tensions escalated, Musk posted a series of inflammatory comments on X, supporting impeachment calls and accusing the president of ingratitude.

 

He also referenced unverified allegations linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, and warned that Trump’s tariff policies could lead the U.S. into recession.

 

Most of the contentious posts have since been deleted.

 

President Trump dismissed the idea of reconciling with Musk, telling reporters, “He was disrespectful to the office of the president.

 

“I haven’t really thought about it actually. I would imagine he wants to speak to me. I would think so, if I were him, I’d want to speak to me.”

 

“And maybe he already called… ask him whether or not he’s already called,” Trump added, noting that he would not oppose taking a call from the billionaire.

 

Musk’s shift in tone comes in the wake of violent protests in Los Angeles sparked by a federal immigration raid. The events appear to have influenced Musk’s stance, aligning him once again with the Trump administration.

 

Earlier this week, Musk reposted a statement from Vice President JD Vance praising the president’s hardline response to the riots, adding American flag emojis to show support.

 

He also shared a Truth Social screenshot of Trump demanding an apology from California officials for the unrest.

 

Vice President Vance offered a diplomatic take on the Musk-Trump spat in a recent interview:

 

“The President is a little frustrated but he’s actually been restrained because he doesn’t want to be in some blood feud with Elon Musk.

 

“I think if Elon chills out a little bit everything will be fine,” Vance said.

 

Musk responded to the comment with a brief “cool”.

 

As of now, no direct conversation between Trump and Musk has been confirmed. Whether the two will reconcile publicly remains to be seen, but insiders suggest the door remains open on Trump’s terms.
