Elon Musk has issued a public apology to President Donald Trump, saying on X that “I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far.” In a conciliatory move, he deleted several inflammatory posts including one insinuating Trump appeared in Jeffrey Epstein files, and reshared Trump’s content, signaling an effort to de-escalate the public rift.
Sources say Musk directly reached out to Trump and engaged with Vice President JD Vance and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles before issuing the apology, suggesting a coordinated effort to thaw relations. Trump acknowledged the gesture, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt saying the president “appreciates” Musk’s apology, and Trump himself reportedly said he had “no hard feelings”
With Tesla preparing to launch new robotaxi services later this month and SpaceX awaiting federal approvals, analysts say Musk is likely aiming to protect his business interests alongside repairing political ties. Observers on X saying even though Musk apologized and things seem to be getting better, it’s still too early to say the feud is over. Both sides have stopped the harshest posts, but the tension is still there, and the future of their relationship is uncertain.
