Musk admits he went ‘too far’ attacking Trump

Elon Musk said he went “too far” criticizing U.S. President Donald Trump last week, in the latest sign of a truce between the two feuding former allies.

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

A bitter public quarrel erupted between the tech mogul and Trump after Musk — who was the president’s main hatchet man as the two sought to pare back federal spending this spring — departed the administration.

Musk took to social media to criticize Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” — the legislation now in the Senate that incorporates his presidential agenda, from tax cuts to immigration enforcement — calling it a “disgusting abomination.”

That earned a rebuke from Trump, who said Musk had gone “crazy” and threatened to cancel federal contracts and subsidies for Musk’s businesses.

Notably, Musk accused Trump — without proof — of being named in the Epstein files, documents compiled by federal investigators into financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and claimed that was the “real reason” they have yet to be unsealed.

But that post was later deleted along with others attacking Trump. When a user on X said Musk and Trump should “make peace” for the good of the U.S., Musk responded, “You’re not wrong.”

Trump, for his part, has ceased his attacks on Musk and seemed indifferent in an interview with POLITICO when asked about sparring with his former ally. “Oh it’s OK,” he said. “It’s going very well, never done better.”
