Billionaire Elon Musk admitted regret Wednesday over his last week's inflammatory posts aimed at U.S. President Donald Trump.
“I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far,” Musk wrote on his social media platform X, ending days of fiery rhetoric that had pushed the relationship between two of the country’s most powerful men to the brink.
The fallout began earlier this month when Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, lambasted Trump’s flagship “One Big Beautiful Bill” – a sweeping tax and spending package – as a “disgusting abomination.”
His criticism focused on what he called bloated government “pork” and hypocrisy over energy subsidies, blasting the bill for preserving oil and gas incentives while failing to support electric vehicles.
Trump hit back swiftly.
