Billionaire Elon Musk posted on the X platform on June 11 admitting that he felt regretful about some of his posts in the recent controversy with President Donald Trump.
I feel regretful about some posts related to President Donald Trump last week. They have gone too far, Musk wrote.
These controversial statements were later deleted by Mr. Musk. In it, there was a post implying that Mr. Trump Was named in the Epstein file - a document related to Jeffrey Epstein, an American billionaire who was accused of being a prostitute and committed suicide in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial. Elon Musk has also endorsed the message that Mr. Trump should be impeached and said that Vice President JD Vance should replace him.
The White House has yet to comment on Elon Musk's latest statement. Meanwhile, on June 6, President Trump affirmed that he has no intention of making peace with Elon Musk - who was one of his close allies and top advisor.
The relationship between the two was once very close. Elon Musk is Trump's largest campaign sponsor. When he took office in January, Trump appointed Musk as head of the Office of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which was established with the goal of reforming the administration and cutting the budget.
However, tensions between the two sides began to flare up after Musk ended his 130-day term at DOGE. He then began publicly criticizing the $4.500 billion Republican superb bill - one of Trump's key policy proposals. The bill aims to cut taxes but also cut budgets for electric vehicles and related technology, which are areas where Musk's Tesla company is receiving a lot of support.
