Elon Musk surprised the public Tuesday evening by admitting that he had gone too far in his recent attacks on former President Donald Trump. “I regret some of my posts about @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far,” Musk wrote in a short update on his platform X, effectively signaling an end to a week-long public clash filled with harsh words and political tension.
🧨 From Epstein to Regret: A Rapid Turnaround
Musk had previously accused Trump of appearing in sealed Jeffrey Epstein documents and claimed that Trump would never have won re-election without Musk’s support. Both posts were later deleted and replaced by standard X error messages reading: “Hmm… this page doesn’t exist.” Musk did not comment on the deletions, but the consequences were immediate.
⚠️ Trump Warns Musk Over Democratic Support
In a phone interview with NBC News, Trump responded by warning Musk that if he decides to support Democrats in the upcoming election, he will “face consequences.”
“If he does that, he’s going to face very serious consequences,” Trump said, without clarifying what those consequences might be.
Trump also declared that their relationship is over:
“I gave him a lot of breaks during my first term. I saved his business. I don’t intend to speak to him again.”
🎙 JD Vance: “Elon Is Emotional. He Made a Mistake.”
Senator JD Vance, rumored to be Trump's potential VP pick, addressed the conflict during a podcast with comedian Theo Von. “I think Elon is making a mistake,” Vance said, describing Musk as an “emotionally intelligent person” who let frustration get the better of him. His tone was softer, but the message was clear — Musk crossed a line.
🤝 From Praise to Fallout – The Trump-Musk Alliance Collapses

Their alliance even caught the attention of investors following Musk’s businesses. Now, the relationship appears completely severed.
📉 Fallout for Tesla and SpaceX? Markets Are Watching Closely
The growing conflict has raised concerns on Wall Street, where investors are questioning what impact this might have on Tesla and SpaceX — two companies that benefited from Musk’s connections during Trump’s first term. With support from the White House gone and public attacks escalating, many are watching developments closely.
📜 The Trigger: Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill”
According to CNBC, the tipping point came after Musk publicly criticized Trump’s new legislation, dubbed the “big, beautiful bill.” Musk slammed the proposal for ignoring policies he had advocated, fueling his online outbursts. The Trump team, via spokesperson Karoline Leavitt, responded:
“This is an unfortunate episode from Elon, who’s upset that the bill doesn’t include the policies he wanted.”
💬 What Happens Next?
While Musk appears to be walking things back, the Trump camp shows no interest in reconciliation. The big question now is how this public feud might affect Musk’s companies — and whether it could play a role in the upcoming election cycle.
