Elon Musk Issues Apology to Trump After Explosive Social Media Feud

Washington, June 11, 2025 – Elon Musk, the billionaire behind Tesla and SpaceX, has said sorry for his recent angry posts about former President Donald Trump. On Wednesday morning, Musk shared on X that he may have crossed a line with some of his recent comments about former President DonaldTrump, saying he now regrets posting them.

This apology comes after a heated argument between the two began on June 5. The fight started when Trump criticized Musk for speaking against his major tax and spending plan called the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” The bill aims to reduce taxes and increase spending on the military and immigration control. Musk, who had just stepped down from his short-term role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), strongly opposed the bill. He called it a “disgusting abomination” and warned that it could increase the national debt by $3 trillion over ten years.

The fight didn’t stay about politics. Musk accused Trump of being linked to secret Jeffrey Epstein files and even supported a post calling for Trump’s impeachment. In return, Trump attacked Musk on Truth Social, calling him “CRAZY” and threatening to cancel government deals with Musk’s companies, like SpaceX.

Musk eventually removed his most talked-about posts, including those involving Epstein and calls for Trump’s impeachment. However, he didn’t explain why he removed them. According to reports, there was a private call between both sides’ teams on June 6, possibly trying to calm things down. Still, Trump told ABC News that he’s “not particularly” interested in talking to Musk and claimed that Musk had “lost his mind.”

The public drama was widely followed on social media. People on platforms like BlueSky shared jokes and memes about the argument. Some compared it to a “catfight,” while others, like rapper Ye (Kanye West), called for peace between the two.

Many are now wondering about Musk’s role in Republican politics. Even though he donated $250 million to Trump’s 2024 campaign, this fight could hurt his political influence. Analysts say the apology might help for now, but major issues like Trump’s trade tariffs and the canceled NASA nomination of Musk supporter Jared Isaacman could start the fight again.

For now, Musk’s apology seems like a peace offer. But with Trump focused on getting his bill passed and Musk returning to work at Tesla and SpaceX, their once-strong relationship seems unstable. On X, reactions to the apology are mixed. Some think Musk made a smart move, while others believe his power in politics is fading.
