Tech magnate Elon Musk issued a public retraction Wednesday regarding recent inflammatory posts he made about President Donald Trump, signaling a potential thaw in what had quickly become a high-profile spat between two of the country’s most influential figures.
“I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far,” Musk posted on X, marking a notable reversal following a string of sharp criticisms he had lobbed at Trump in recent days.
The rift began after Musk, who recently stepped down from his role in the Department of Government Efficiency, attacked Trump over his administration’s “big beautiful” spending bill. Musk, who had made government waste a key target during his tenure, openly criticized the bill as fiscally reckless.
Among the most controversial claims was Musk’s since-deleted accusation that Trump’s name appeared in the Department of Justice’s Epstein files—a claim that raised eyebrows across the political spectrum. “Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files,” Musk wrote at the time. “That is the real reason they have not been made public.”
In another post, Musk accused Trump of “ingratitude” and suggested he owed his 2020 victory in part to Musk’s support. Musk even floated the idea of Trump being impeached and replaced by Vice President JD Vance.
Trump fired back publicly. In a Fox News interview, the president dismissed Musk, saying “Elon’s totally lost it,” and added during Oval Office remarks that Musk was only critical after EV tax incentives were reduced. Trump also claimed he had long intended to eliminate the EV mandate—a move Musk said he had opposed for months.
Despite the back-and-forth, this week has seen a sudden de-escalation in tone.
“We had a great relationship and I wish him well — very well, actually,” Trump said Monday. Musk responded to the clip by posting a heart emoji, a subtle but unmistakable gesture of goodwill.
Musk then appeared to align with Trump again, sharing the president’s condemnation of the ongoing anti-ICE demonstrations in Los Angeles. Trump described the unrest as insurrectionist behavior enabled by poor local leadership: “Governor Gavin Newscum and ‘Mayor’ Bass should apologize… These are not protesters, they are troublemakers and insurrectionists.”
Musk’s repost signaled a clear endorsement of that framing. He later echoed support for a post by Vice President Vance, who shared Trump’s promise of a hardline federal response to restore order in Los Angeles. “This moment calls for decisive leadership,” Vance wrote. Musk responded with two American flag emojis.
