Elon Musk now says he regrets his barrage of social media posts slamming President Donald Trump, Fox News reported. The former Department of Government Efficiency head launched a series of personal attacks on the president on social media.
The feud between Musk and Trump erupted over the president’s “big beautiful” bill that came with a huge price tag. The Tesla billionaire was incensed that he worked to slash spending while Trump’s legislation would add to the deficit.
Musk lashed out at Trump, saying the Department of Justice had evidence that Trump was tied to accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Musk deleted the posts and later shared to X, “I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far.”

The disagreement
Things got ugly as Musk very publicly made the claim about Trump and Epstein. “Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files,” Musk wrote in a since-deleted post to X.
“That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!”
Musk also accused Trump of “ingratitude” as he claimed that it was he who helped push Trump over the finish line to win the 2024 presidential election. Musk went so far as to say Trump should be impeached and Vice President J.D. Vance installed as president.
Surprisingly, Trump was mostly subdued in his criticisms of Musk, which is a far cry from how the president handled such situations in the past. Trump did say that “Elon’s totally lost it” during a Fox News interview, but otherwise, Trump’s response was measured.
Still, Trump couldn’t help but take a jab on social media. “Elon was ‘wearing thin,’ I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!” Trump wrote.
Making amends
Trump would later share kind words for his former associate, signaling that he had moved on from the feud. “We had a great relationship and I wish him well—very well, actually,” Trump said Monday.
Besides his quasi-apology, Musk subtly reasserted his support for Trump by sharing one of his posts about the riots happening in Los Angeles. “Governor Gavin Newscum and ‘Mayor’ Bass should apologize to the people of Los Angeles for the absolutely horrible job that they’ve done, and this now includes the ongoing L.A. riots,” Trump’s post shared by Musk said.
“These are not protesters, they are troublemakers and insurrectionists,” Trump added in the post. On another post by Vance that also shared Trump’s words, Musk replied with two American flag emojis.
The post voiced Vance’s support for Trump’s position on the riot while also including a screenshot of Trump’s post.”This moment calls for decisive leadership. The president will not tolerate rioting and violence,” Vance captioned the screenshot.
This situation had the potential to become a drawn-out feud between these two powerhouses of American politics and culture. While the internet had fun with it for a few days, it seems cooler heads have prevailed as both men have gone back to their respective corners.
