After a very public social media fight between two rulers, Elon Musk and Donald Trump, there could be forgiveness. The dispute between the two men, who were once close allies, turned ugly last week over what Trump dubbed his “Big Beautiful” tax and spending bill.
Musk And Trump’s Row: The Ruling Class’s Charade
Trump called the bill “phenomenal” and said he was disappointed by Musk’s response. “When he did that, I was not a happy camper.”
For his part, Musk has expressed his regrets for attacking Trump.
Elon Musk “Regrets” His Attacks On Donald Trump
Hours before the interview aired, Musk appeared to say he was sorry about attacking the president. He wrote on X that he regrets “some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week,” adding that “They went too far.”
Trump was interviewed by the New York Post on Sunday, and after he was asked, he said that he would be willing to forgive Musk for the feud. “I guess I could,” adding that he was now focused on how to “straighten out the country.”
That remark about “straightening out the country” most likely refers to the riots and protests against ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) in Los Angeles, in which Trump is sending military troops to help squash.
Musk, who recently stepped down as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), repeatedly criticized the bill, arguing it undermined his efforts to cut waste from the federal budget.
Accoridng to a report by RT, Musk did not clarify which of his posts he was referring to. Media reports have suggested that his associates and the White House are engaged in backchannel communications aimed at easing tensions. Additionally, when asked about the apology in a follow-up call with the Post on Wednesday morning, Trump said: “I thought it was very nice that he (Musk) did that.”
For all intents and purposes, this appeared to be a short little battle between the two. What do you think happened? Was the fight real? Was this a distraction from the buildup in LA? What do you think? Type a comment and let us know!
