Getty ImagesBillionaire Elon Musk has said he regrets some of the posts he made about US President Donald Trump during their war of words on social media.
“I regret some of my posts about President Donald Trump last week. They went too far,” he said on his platform X.
The two were embroiled in a public fallout, after the Tesla owner called Trump’s tax bill a “disgusting abomination”.
His post comes after Trump declared that their relationship was over, and that he had no interest in mending ties with Musk.
The budget, which includes huge tax breaks and more defence spending, was passed by the House of Representatives last month and is now being considered by senators.
Musk urged Americans to call their representatives in Washington to “kill the bill” as he believed it would “cause a recession in the second half of the year”.
The tech billionaire claimed, without evidence, that Trump appears in unreleased government files linked to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The White House rubbished those claims.
In response Trump said Musk had “lost his mind” and threatened to cancel his government contracts which have an estimated value of $38bn (£28bn).
