Billionaire Elon Musk said on Wednesday (June 11, 2025) that he regrets some of the posts he made last week about U.S President Donald Trump, in a post on his social media platform X.

Musk’s statement came just days after Trump warned him of “serious consequences” if he attempted to target Republicans backing a contentious spending bill.

The two have been trading barbs on social media since last week, with Musk calling Trump’s sweeping tax and spending proposal a “disgusting abomination.”

Elon Musk, who previously served for 130 days as a “special government employee” heading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has been critical of President Donald Trump’s spending bill since stepping down from the role.
