Billionaire Tesla and Starlink CEO, Elon Musk has expressed regret over remarks he made about former President Donald Trump last week.
Naija News reports that Musk disclosed this in a post on 𝕏 on Wednesday morning, signaling a possible softening in the strained relationship between the two high-profile figures.
“They went too far,” Musk wrote in a brief post on X (formerly Twitter), referring to a series of recent criticisms he had aimed at Trump.
Musk said: “I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far.”
The comment comes less than a week after tensions between Musk and Trump escalated publicly.
Musk, CEO of SpaceX, had used multiple posts on X to challenge Trump’s tax policies and even interacted with a post referencing the former president’s impeachment—though he later deleted that engagement.
The fallout prompted Trump to issue a warning last week, suggesting he might reconsider federal contracts awarded to Musk’s companies.
However, during a press conference on Monday, the president appeared to tone down his stance, saying: “Look, I wish him well. You understand? We had a good relationship, and I just wish him well.”
Musk, who had previously hinted at launching a new political party and claimed to have played a key role in Republican wins during last year’s elections, has not publicly responded to Trump’s latest remarks.
