Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk on Wednesday acknowledged that some of his recent social media remarks directed at U.S. President Donald Trump had crossed the line, expressing regret over his posts.
“I regret some of my posts about President Donald Trump last week. They went too far,” Musk stated on his platform, X.
The statement comes after a high-profile and increasingly contentious exchange between the world’s richest man and the President of the United States captured widespread attention online. The public dispute saw both figures trade sharp accusations, underscoring growing tensions between them.
The rift began last week when Musk harshly criticised the President’s proposed tax and spending legislation—popularly referred to as the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ (OBBB)—describing it as a “disgusting abomination.” Musk argued that the bill, which includes sweeping tax cuts, could add approximately $3 trillion to the national debt, calling it fiscally irresponsible.
Though Musk appeared to de-escalate matters by deleting several incendiary posts, President Trump responded defiantly, warning of “very serious consequences” should Musk lend support to Democrats during the 2026 midterm elections. Notably, Musk had provided substantial financial backing for Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign and was previously appointed by Trump to lead a federal workforce restructuring initiative aimed at reducing government spending.
Following his departure from that advisory role, Musk intensified his criticism, accusing the President of economic recklessness. The feud reached a peak when Musk publicly called for Trump’s impeachment and shared unverified allegations linking the President to the controversial Epstein files—posts he later removed.
While Musk’s latest remarks signal a possible attempt to defuse the situation, the broader implications of this fallout between two influential figures—one political, the other corporate—remain to be seen.
