In a surprising turn of events, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk publicly expressed regret over several of his recent social media posts targeting former U.S. President Donald Trump. Utilizing his own platform, X, Musk admitted on Wednesday that his comments went too far.
"I regret some of my posts about President Donald Trump last week. They went too far," Musk posted on X on June 11.
The posts emerged during a heated online exchange between Musk and Trump that stemmed from disagreements over recent political developments. Musk, known for leading companies like Tesla and SpaceX, had recently stepped down from a governmental advisory role and criticized the Republican Party's proposed tax legislation, sparking a feud on social media and during TV interviews.
One of Musk's controversial posts insinuated a link between Trump and the infamous Epstein list, suggesting this could be a reason for the government's reluctance to release associated documents to the public. This claim added fuel to the already fiery public discourse.
