Elon Musk apologizes to President Donald Trump: Regret or strategic calculation?
The confrontation between Elon Musk and Donald Trump has attracted attention not only from the political sphere but also from the global investment community. Elon Musk's recent apology on the X platform (formerly Twitter), in which he acknowledged that he had 'gone too far' in attacking Trump, raises many questions: is this a sincere expression of regret or a strategic move to maintain relationships with powerful figures?
The conflict stemmed from Musk's criticism of the spending package proposed by Trump, leading to sharp rebuttals. Musk's further escalation by sharing sensitive information related to Epstein only intensified the situation. However, the apology on June 11 was somewhat vague as he did not specify what he regretted in particular.
The media suggests that this is an effort to ease tensions, especially as Musk's companies rely heavily on federal contracts. In the eyes of investors, this move somewhat reflects Musk's awareness and strategic thinking rather than weakness.
