Elon Musk, the tech mogul and owner of X (formerly Twitter), recently issued a public apology for his controversial posts about former President Donald Trump. In a June 11th post on X, Musk stated, “I regret some of my posts about President Donald Trump, last week. They went too far.”

While Musk didn’t specify which tweets prompted his apology, the statement comes amidst a very public falling out between the two. The rift appears to have begun after Musk heavily criticized the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” a significant legislative package supported by the White House. Musk, who served as a special government employee in the Trump administration until late May, called the bill a “disgusting abomination” and accused it of being filled with wasteful spending.

This unexpected turn of events highlights the complex and often volatile relationship between Musk and Trump, a relationship that has shifted dramatically in recent weeks. The apology itself raises questions about the future of their interaction, and how Musk will navigate his public statements regarding high-profile political figures going forward.
