IN FULL:

Elon Musk says he now regrets “some of” the attacks he posted against President Donald J. Trump last week, when the billionaire technology mogul had a very public falling out with the America First leader. A former special government employee and advisor to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk became increasingly critical of provisions contained in President Trump’s budget reconciliation legislation—dubbed the “One Big Beautiful Bill”—which enacts much of Trump’s political agenda. The mostly online spat saw Musk go from criticizing the legislation to making a series of erratic and bizarre personal attacks against the president.

“I regret some of my posts about President [Donald Trump] last week,” Musk wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter), adding: “They went too far.”

During what is being described as a social media “crash out,” Musk endorsed a post calling for President Trump to be impeached and replaced with Vice President J.D. Vance, and suggested that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has withheld some of the Epstein Files from public release because Trump’s name is found within them. Notably, The National Pulse reported in February that the already publicly released portion of the files, comprised of Epstein’s flight and phone call logs, includes Trump’s name, which Epstein listed in his phone book, but nothing nefarious.

While President Trump has not responded to Musk’s most recent comments directly, the America First leader in a recent interview stated that he has “no hard feelings” towards the former DOGE advisor. “Well, look, I have no hard feelings. I was really surprised that that happened,” Trump said, adding: “He went after a bill that’s phenomenal… and when he did that, I was not a happy camper.”
