Elon Musk has stepped back from his explosive feud with U.S. President Donald Trump, admitting that some of his social media posts went "too far." Early Wednesday morning on X, Musk wrote, "I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far."
This move marks a cooling-off in a relationship that once saw Musk playing a significant role in supporting Trump during the campaign. With his companies operating as major government contractors, there are growing concerns that they could face retribution—especially after Trump threatened to cut his contracts.
Previously, Musk deleted a post alleging that the government was hiding details about Trump’s connections with the notorious Jeffrey Epstein, while other posts that criticized Trump’s spending bill and even claimed credit for his election victory remain online.
In a recent NBC interview with Kristen Welker, Trump made it clear that he has no intention of mending fences, warning that Musk could encounter "serious consequences" if he assists Democrats in upcoming elections. The episode serves as a vivid reminder of the unpredictable nature of digital politics and the risks of blurring the lines between public opinion and political alliances. 😎
