Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has apologised following his fierce criticism of former U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration, acknowledging that his remarks crossed the line.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday morning, Musk expressed regret over his statements made the previous week.
“I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far,” Musk wrote.
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.
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.
Musk, a long-time advocate of fiscal responsibility, claimed the legislation threatened the very cost-saving principles he upheld during his time at DOGE.
