Elon Musk stepped back from his explosive feud with U.S. President Donald Trump, writing on X that he regrets some of his posts about his onetime ally.
Early Wednesday morning, he posted “I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far.”
Musk’s break with a President whom he spent hundreds of millions of dollars to elect appeared to put an end to his influence in the White House and prompted concerns about effects on his companies. As a major government contractor, Musk’s businesses could be particularly vulnerable to retribution, and Trump has already threatened to cut Musk’s contracts.
Musk earlier deleted a post in which he claimed without evidence that the government was concealing information about the President’s association with infamous pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile, other posts that irritated Trump, including ones in which Musk called the spending bill an “abomination” and claimed credit for Trump’s election victory, remained live.
On Sunday, Trump told NBC’s Kristen Welker that he has no desire to repair their relationship and warned that Musk could face “serious consequences” if he tries to help Democrats in upcoming elections.

No, we still think he is a disgusting little man who is willing to lie about “condoms in Gaza” and “dead people on Social Security” in order to justify taking food and medicine away from poor people.
Everything that anyone has ever said bad about billionaires turned out to be true about Musk. Just because he was willing to insult Donald Trump was never enough to make him a good person.

So Musk regrets telling the truth about Trump, but doesn’t regret lying about other federal employees.
This is the perfect example of why he is a financial success but a moral failure.

A guy needs somebody―to be near him. A guy goes nuts if he ain’t got nobody. Don’t make no difference who the guy is, long’s he’s with you. I tell ya, I tell ya a guy gets too lonely an’ he gets sick.
