**Elon Musk Expresses Regret Over Social Media Comments on Trump**
Elon Musk reflects on his recent Twitter exchanges with Donald Trump, stating he wishes he had exercised more restraint.
In a post on X, Musk stated, "I regret some of my posts about President Donald Trump last week. They went too far.” This admission came after a series of posts where Musk criticized Trump's tax bill as a “disgusting abomination.” The fallout between the two escalated further when Trump announced that their relationship was officially over, expressing no desire to reconcile.
The contentious tax proposal, which includes significant tax cuts and increased defense spending, has already passed in the House and is under Senate consideration. Musk has urged Americans to call lawmakers to “kill the bill,” predicting it may lead to a recession in the latter half of the year.
Musk's claims regarding Trump's alleged connections to unreleased documents involving Jeffrey Epstein have been dismissed by the White House. In a sharp rebuttal, Trump characterized Musk's comments as indicative of a man who has “lost his mind,” even threatening to annul his government contracts, reportedly valued at $38 billion, a significant financial stake for Musk's SpaceX.
In response to Musk's tweets, Trump expressed dismay over the disrespect shown towards the office of the presidency during an NBC interview. Over the weekend, Musk began deleting many of his earlier posts, including one calling for the impeachment of Trump — a stark contrast to his earlier support as the largest donor to Trump’s 2024 campaign.
With calls from influential Republican figures for reconciliation, including a wish from US Vice President JD Vance that Musk would return to the political fold, it remains uncertain how this public rift will evolve. The feud is particularly notable, as it follows Musk's exit from the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) after only a brief tenure of 129 days, adding another layer of complexity to their embattled relationship.
As political tensions continue to unfold, the partnership between Musk and Trump, once seen as a powerful alliance, now appears strained and fraught with uncertainty.
