Musk “Regrets” Some Posts About Trump,\u00a0Signals Possible Reconciliation<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Elon Musk publicly expressed regret<\/strong> over his recent X post attacks on President Donald Trump,\u00a0admitting that his posts on X \u2014 particularly the one linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein \u2014 “went too far.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far<\/strong>,” Musk wrote in an early morning X post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump<\/a> last week. They went too far.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 11, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n

The fallout stemmed from last week’s blowout after Musk opposed Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” prompting Trump to hint at cutting off government contracts. In response, Musk unleashed a series of now-deleted X posts, including a claim that Trump was “in the Epstein files.”<\/p>\n

D\u00e9tente? Musk Hints At Path Forward On BBB; Trump Team Schedules Friday Call<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

‘Very Disrespectful’: Trump ‘Assumes’ Musk Relationship Is Over<\/a><\/p>\n

To recap last week:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earlier in the week,\u00a0<\/em>Musk\u00a0came out against<\/a> the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’<\/em><\/strong> – which raises the debt ceiling by $5 trillion, and\u00a0either raises the deficit by $2.4 trillion, or lowers it by $1.4 trillion<\/a> – depending on who you believe, and fails to address any of the waste, fraud and abuse found by DOGE.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Thursday morning, Trump was asked about Musk’s opposition to the bill,\u00a0telling reporters<\/a> on Thursday that<\/em> he’s ‘very disappointed in Elon,’<\/em><\/strong> and that Musk only opposes the bill because they eliminated electric vehicle tax credits from it.<\/em><\/p>\n

Trump then suggested he might pull government funding<\/em><\/strong> from Musk’s companies such as SpaceX, which owns the\u00a0only operational US spacecraft capable of transporting astronauts to and from the International Space Station.\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0“The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars,<\/em> is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts<\/em><\/strong>. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!” -President Donald Trump via Truth Social<\/em><\/p>\n

Musk went ballistic –\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>announcing he would ‘immediately<\/a>‘ decommission the Dragon program (which he later\u00a0walked back<\/a> Thursday night), proposed a new political party (that’s still his pinned post on X), endorsed another Trump impeachment, and said in a now-deleted post Trump is ‘in the Epstein files<\/a>,’ which is why they haven’t been released.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Now that the dust has settled<\/strong> in the Trump-Musk feud, the president stated there would be consequences for Musk if he supports Democratic candidates opposing the tax and spending bill.<\/p>\n

Musk stated in a\u00a0CBS interview that BBB\u00a0“undermines” the work of DOGE<\/strong>…\u00a0The Trump administration has refuted this point<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Trump said he had no plans to discontinue Starlink service at the White House but hinted he might have his Tesla Model S removed from the White House grounds.<\/p>\n

“I may move the Tesla around a little bit, but I don’t think we’ll be doing that with Starlink. It’s a good service<\/strong>,” Trump told reporters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump also said that he\u00a0would not have a problem if Musk called him: “We had a good relationship, and I just wish him well<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

Musk’s actions over the past several days suggest his anger has subsided and that he may be seeking to repair his relationship with the president.<\/p>\n

As we noted last week…\u00a0<\/p>\n

For better or worse, the BBB will pass. Instead of clashing over what is autopilot spending to satisfy legacy obligations, focus on how to generate the biggest GDP growth https:\/\/t.co\/bw6DQ4pBVa<\/a><\/p>\n

Odds are looking great on Polymarket<\/a>…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

However, we do agree with Musk on codifying DOGE cuts<\/strong>\u2014after all, it’s a clear mandate from the American people<\/strong> for the president to rein in a bloated federal government long captured by deep-state swamp creatures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
