After Epstein ‘bomb’ & Trump’s wrath, Elon Musk admits he ‘went too far’ in feud

In a digital world where alliances can shift as quickly as a viral tweet, tech visionary Elon Musk found himself in an uncharacteristic position on Wednesday: expressing public regret.

The target of his digital mea culpa? None other than US President Donald Trump, a figure with whom Musk had, until very recently, shared a notably close and strategically significant partnership.

This rare admission of regret from the often-unflinching billionaire signaled a potential, if tentative, de-escalation in an explosive public feud that had captivated onlookers and rattled market nerves.

The preceding week had been nothing short of a political soap opera.

A once-tight bond, which saw Musk appointed to spearhead the ambitious, budget-slashing Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under Trump’s second term, had spectacularly imploded.

The fallout left investors and political commentators alike anxiously pondering the future trajectory of Musk’s sprawling empire, particularly his flagship companies, Tesla and SpaceX.

Then came Musk’s concise, yet loaded, statement on his X social media platform: “I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far.”
