Trump-Musk feud live updates: World’s richest man ‘regrets’ bombshell falling out after Epstein accusation
Elon Musk says he regrets some of his social media posts about president Donald Trump, in a dramatic about-turn after a days-long public fight between the two powerful men.
“I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far,” Musk said on his X platform.
The latest post from the world’s richest man is an apparent bid to de-escalate the feud which began last week and rapidly descended into an acrimonious tit-for-tat.
Musk said on his social media platform X that Trump’s name appears in files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, later deleting that tweet.
He also retweeted one X user who had said: “Trump should be impeached and JD Vance should replace him”.
Trump retaliated by threatening to withdraw multi-billion-dollar government contracts from Musk’s businesses.
Musk’s father, Errol Musk, said the men were fighting because they were both “tired and stressed,” but speaking in Russia on Monday he predicted the fight “would be over tomorrow”.
