Billionaire Elon Musk said on Wednesday (June 11, 2025) that he regrets some of the posts he made last week about U.S President Donald Trump, in a post on his social media platform X.
Musk’s statement came just days after Trump warned him of “serious consequences” if he attempted to target Republicans backing a contentious spending bill.
The two have been trading barbs on social media since last week, with Musk calling Trump’s sweeping tax and spending proposal a “disgusting abomination.”
Elon Musk, who previously served for 130 days as a “special government employee” heading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has been critical of President Donald Trump’s spending bill since stepping down from the role.
In response to Musk’s comments, Trump told reporters on Thursday (June 5,2025), “I’m very disappointed because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill. I’m very disappointed in Elon. I’ve helped Elon a lot.”
Following Trump’s remarks, Musk launched a series of attacks on the president via his platform X, including a now-deleted post endorsing a call for Trump’s impeachment. In another post, Musk warned that Trump’s tariff agenda could spark a recession later this year.
