Elon Musk has publicly stepped back from his recent feud with U.S. President Donald Trump. Early Wednesday morning, the tech entrepreneur and CEO posted on X, “I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far.”
The tension between Musk and Trump had escalated over the past week, with Musk expressing criticism over certain policies and decisions. His posts had stirred significant attention, leading to concerns about potential repercussions for his businesses, which hold substantial government contracts.
In response, President Trump told NBC’s Kristen Welker on Sunday that he has no desire to mend their relationship. He warned that Musk could face “serious consequences” if he attempts to support Democrats in the upcoming elections.
Musk’s recent acknowledgment of the situation suggests a desire to de-escalate the conflict. While some of his controversial posts remain online—such as his critique of a recent spending bill he termed an “abomination”—the entrepreneur appears to be taking a step back from direct confrontation.
As leaders in their respective fields, both Musk and Trump hold significant influence. The unfolding dynamics between them are being closely watched, especially considering the potential impact on Musk’s ventures and the broader political landscape.
