Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Elon Musk Expresses Regret Over Anti-Trump Posts Amid Public Feud
Caption: Elon Musk Expresses Regret Over Anti-Trump Posts Amid Public Feud. Elon Musk posted on X Wednesday that he regrets some of his recent comments about President Donald Trump, admitting they "went too far.” The apology follows a very public fallout between Musk and Trump last week, where both men exchanged barbs on social media. Musk, once a close ally of Trump and co-head of the Department for Government Efficiency, broke ties after criticizing the president’s tax and domestic policy bill. Musk called the bill a “disgusting abomination” and warned it could severely harm U.S. government finances. He further escalated tensions by resurfacing old quotes from Trump and GOP lawmakers about national debt and spending. One of Musk's most controversial posts accused Trump of being "in" the Jeffrey Epstein files—though he offered no evidence. Trump fired back on Truth Social, threatening to cut government contracts and subsidies to Musk’s companies. The president later told CNN he wasn’t thinking about Musk and didn’t plan on speaking to him “for a while.” Musk didn’t clarify which specific posts he regretted, but his X statement came shortly after his father, Errol Musk, called the feud a “mistake.” Errol Musk, speaking to Russian media, expressed confidence the two would reconcile, saying: “It’s just a small thing. It will be over tomorrow”. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
