Billionaire businessman Elon Musk said on Wednesday he regretted some of the posts he made last week about U.S. President Donald Trump as they had gone “too far.”
Trump said on Saturday his relationship with Musk was over after they exchanged insults on social media, with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO describing the president’s sweeping tax and spending bill as a “disgusting abomination.”
Musk has since deleted some posts critical of Trump, including one signalling support for impeaching the president. He also deleted a post in which he claimed without evidence that the government wasn’t releasing more information regarding what it knows about Jeffrey Epstein because of Trump’s past association with the infamous alleged sex trafficker who died in jail in 2019.
“I regret some of my posts about President Donald Trump last week. They went too far,” Musk wrote in a post on his social media platform X on Wednesday, without saying which specific posts he was talking about.
Tesla shares rose 2.3 per cent in pre-market trading.
