Billionaire Elon Musk says that he regrets some of the posts he made last week about US President Donald Trump, in a message on his social media platform X.
“I regret some of my posts about President Donald Trump last week. They went too far,” Musk writes.
Trump and Musk began exchanging insults last week on social media, with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO describing the US president’s sweeping tax and spending bill as a “disgusting abomination.”
Musk also claimed Trump would not have won the 2024 election without his financial support, hinted at supporting Trump’s impeachment, and baselessly asserted that Trump’s name is in the Epstein files, which is why the files are not being released to the public.
Musk’s post comes days after Trump said his relationship with the mogul was over.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
