Elon Musk says he regrets some posts about President Trump
Elon Musk says some of his posts about President Trump “go too far” during the public war of words.
WASHINGTON – Donald Trump and Elon Musk are restoring fences. However, the president could not resist the opportunity to swipe Tesla’s CEO when he signed a resolution that would hinder California’s electric vehicle duties.
At the bill’s signature event at the White House, Trump called out his famous former aide: “Now I know why Elon doesn’t like me that much.”
“He actually does,” Trump added before he proceeds.
Trump and the wealthy businessman have sparred over another legislation, a GOP tax cut bill that passed the House at the end of May and is currently pending before the Senate.
At the height of the conflict, on June 5th, Musk said Trump appeared “in the Epstein Files.” The allegations refer to federally compiled documents compiled by Jeffrey Epstein, a dishonest financial operator and child sex offender who died in prison while awaiting prosecution in sex trafficking charges in 2019. Mask deleted this post within 48 hours.
In a June 11 post, Musk said he regretted not specifying some of the posts about playing cards while spatting. “They’re going too far,” he said.
The two men reportedly spoke on the phone before the written apology.
At the June 12 event at the White House, Trump, called Musk, is telling him another exchange of an electric car he had before he dropped out, despite being called “my friend.”
The president said Musk had not pushed him away from his bid to abolish California’s electric vehicle sales duties. When he raised the issue with Musk, who campaigned for him in 2024, the businessman told him, “As long as it’s happening to everyone, I’ll be able to compete.”
Trump said he told Musk that his response was “very cool.”
“He’s got a little weirder after that. I don’t know why he’s doing much smaller things than that,” Trump said of their controversy.
Trump previously claimed Musk was “crazy” about his plan to rescind California law that requires California to move to EVS by 2035.
“Elon asked him to leave, saying, ‘I’m wearing it lightly.’ I took his EV mandate and made everyone buy an electric car that no one else wanted (he knew for months I was trying to do it!), and he just went crazy! ” Trump said in the Social Post of Truth.
