Elon Musk Admits He Might Have Gone ‘Too Far’ With Anti-Trump Posts

Tesla CEO Elon Musk appeared to backtrack early Wednesday Morning on comments he posted on X while feuding with President Donald Trump on social media earlier in June.

Trump and Musk exchanged remarks via posts on their social media platforms stemming from Musk’s criticism of the reconciliation bill making its way through Congress. The Tesla CEO’s tone softened in a brief post made at 3:04 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time Wednesday.

“I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week,” Musk said. “They went too far.”

The former Department of Government Efficiency sharply criticized Trump over the last week, calling for Trump’s impeachment in now-deleted posts. Musk then proceeded to post that the president was on a list used by financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Musk criticized the reconciliation bill over projections by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) that estimated the bill would increase the deficit by $2.4 trillion over ten years.
