In a week marked by high-profile clashes, retractions, and political tension, tech magnate Elon Musk has publicly expressed regret over a series of provocative social media posts aimed at U.S. President Donald Trump. The exchange, which unfolded in full view of the public on X—Musk’s own social media platform—sparked widespread debate about influence, power, and the fragility of alliances in America’s political and corporate circles.

What began as a series of pointed critiques from Musk quickly escalated into a digital sparring match. The Tesla and SpaceX chief openly attacked Trump’s recently proposed tax and spending bill, branding it a “disgusting abomination” in one of his posts. This bill, often referred to by supporters as the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” is being positioned as a significant legislative milestone by Republican leadership. Musk, however, made it clear that he believed the bill was riddled with flaws, particularly because it did not align with his own policy interests.

But the controversy didn’t end there. Musk took things further in a since-deleted post, claiming that Trump’s name appeared in files associated with Jeffrey Epstein—the disgraced financier whose past continues to cast a long shadow over many high-profile figures. Although the post was removed, its impact lingered, drawing sharp responses from all corners, including the White House.

This morning, Musk appeared to take a step back from the heated rhetoric. In a more measured tone, he posted on X:

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

The shift in tone didn’t go unnoticed. When reached by the New York Post in a brief phone call, Trump offered a surprisingly restrained response: “I thought it was very nice that he did that.” The statement was short but telling, hinting perhaps at an underlying awareness that both parties stand to lose more than they gain from a public feud.

The White House, however, had already taken a firm stance regarding Musk’s deleted Epstein-related post. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed it outright:

“This is an unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the One Big Beautiful Bill because it does not include the policies he wanted. The president is focused on passing this historic piece of legislation and making our country great again.”

Musk has not clarified which specific posts he now regrets, leaving room for interpretation and speculation. What is clear is that tensions have been running high between the billionaire entrepreneur and the former president. In another recent post, Musk openly criticized Trump’s proposed tariff policies, predicting that they would “cause a recession in the second half of this year.”

Trump did not let the criticism slide. In an interview with ABC News, the former president struck back sharply, suggesting that Musk had “lost his mind.” He further escalated the situation by threatening to cancel government contracts with Musk’s companies and revealing that he had personally asked Musk to leave the White House.

Amid the media storm, an unexpected voice stepped into the conversation—Elon Musk’s father, Errol Musk. Speaking to Sky News’ Moscow correspondent Ivor Bennett, the elder Musk attempted to explain the public fallout between the two powerful figures.

“It’s like any argument. Everybody at some point says, ‘I’ll never make up,’ but then they do later,”

Errol said. He described the recent turmoil as a result of frayed emotions and exhaustion, pointing to the long and grueling months both parties had endured.

“They’ve had five months of intense day and night, hardly any sleep, and anybody who went through that would know your nerves are pretty much shredded after that time,” he added. He also revealed that his son had sent him a text message recently, reassuring him with the words: “Don’t worry, we’re sorting it out.”

Whether this signals a genuine effort at reconciliation or merely a pause in hostilities remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: the drama between Elon Musk and Donald Trump has once again placed the intersection of politics, power, and technology under a very public spotlight.
