admin Billionaire Elon Musk has publicly expressed regret after a highly visible clash with former President Donald Trump. Following a series of blunt social media criticisms—ranging from labeling Trump’s budget legislation as a “disgusting abomination” to hinting at Trump’s possible connection to Jeffrey Epstein’s files—Musk reached out directly to Trump late Monday to begin easing tensions
The conciliatory move came after behind-the-scenes efforts from Trump’s team, including Vice President J.D. Vance and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, who reportedly encouraged Musk to dial back the feud before any potential fallout threatened Musk’s business interests
Shortly after the call, Musk formally apologized on X, describing his earlier posts as going “too far.” He also reposted one of Trump’s statements from Truth Social. Trump, maintaining a cautious tone, stated he was “not even thinking about Elon” but acknowledged Musk’s public gesture
