Musk removes critical posts and expresses regret after public dispute with the former president.
Elon Musk expressed regret on June 11, 2025, for going 'too far' in some of his posts about former President
Donald Trump, following a heated public dispute between the two.
In a statement on social media platform X, Musk stated, 'I regret some of my messages about the president from last week.
They went too far.' His comments came shortly after he deleted a post that accused Trump of being involved in the Jeffrey Epstein case, a major scandal surrounding allegations of sexual exploitation of minors.
Additionally, Musk removed other posts that included calls for Trump's impeachment.
However, he did not specify which messages he was referring to in his recent remarks.
The relationship between Musk and Trump has evolved significantly, transitioning from a close alliance during Trump's presidential campaign and initial term to a public rift marked by professional and personal disagreements.
Musk had previously criticized Trump's proposed budget bill, which sparked discussions regarding the president's mental health.
This public fallout has potential implications for Musk's business ventures, including companies like SpaceX and
Tesla, as well as collaborations with NASA.
The dynamics of their relationship could influence future interactions within broader political and commercial contexts.
