“I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far,” Musk wrote.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday morning, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO expressed regret over comments he made the previous week, which had sparked widespread debate online.

During the clash, Musk—who recently stepped down as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—slammed Trump’s tax and spending legislation, calling it a “disgusting abomination” on X. The bill, a key part of Trump’s second-term policy agenda, is projected by the Congressional Budget Office to add $2.4 trillion to the federal deficit over the next decade and potentially strip health coverage from 11 million Americans.

The apology comes after a highly publicised online feud between Musk and Trump, which erupted over a controversial government spending bill championed by the former president. The dispute quickly escalated across social media platforms, sparking political and financial tremors.

Musk, a long-time advocate of fiscal responsibility, claimed the legislation threatened the very cost-saving principles he upheld during his time at DOGE.

In response, Trump lashed out on Truth Social, accusing Musk of “wearing thin” and alleging that he had personally requested the billionaire’s resignation from his advisory post.
