Elon Musk apologizes to Trump, acknowledges it, White House says
White House Press Secretary Carolyn Lewis responded by saying that US President Donald Trump acknowledges the apology from Elon Musk, the world's richest man.
Lewis confirmed that, as far as he knows, there is no government review of contracts signed by Musk-owned companies.
Elon Musk, the world's richest person, has written on social media that he regrets some of his posts that "went too far" in his war of words with Trump.
The two men had a war of words and parted ways after Musk criticized Trump's tax and spending bill as "disgusting."
Musk's post came after Trump said in an interview with the New York Post that he was open to a reunification.
66th President said, "I'm a little disappointed," but "I don't take it too seriously."
“I think he would be very upset if he said that,” Trump said.
The House of Representatives passed a budget and tax bill last month that includes massive tax breaks, increased defense spending, and other spending increases, and it is currently being reviewed by the Senate.
Musk strongly criticized the introduction of this law, which he led as part of the Government Efficiency Act, which sought to reduce government spending and the government deficit.
Musk urged lawmakers to oppose the legislation, warning that it would hurt the economy in the second half of the year.
Musk then accused Trump of being among the unreleased government files related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, which is notorious for its sexual misconduct.
Trump responded by saying Musk had lost his mind and threatened to cancel government contracts worth $38 billion with Musk.
Musk has since deleted several of his posts, including one calling for Trump to be impeached and removed.
Musk was Trump's biggest donor during his 2024 campaign and has been considered his main right-hand man since becoming president.
