Elon Musk News / Musk's attitude against Trump has weakened, he expressed regret over his social media post

Elon Musk has recently expressed regret over some posts in support of Donald Trump. The dispute between the two deepened over the spending bill. Musk removed the pro-Trump posts and resigned from DOGE. This confrontation is a sign of tension between the two leaders who were once considered close.

Elon Musk News: Elon Musk, a famous name in the world of technology and innovation, is once again in the headlines, but this time the reason is different. Musk has publicly regretted his social media posts about former US President Donald Trump in recent times. On microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter), Musk said, "I regret some of my social media posts for Donald Trump, as he went too far."

How did the controversy start?

This entire controversy started when Musk strongly criticized a spending bill of the Trump administration. This bill was part of Trump's major agenda in his second term, which was being promoted as 'One Big Beautiful Bill'. Elon Musk openly criticized it, calling it "unproductive and against public interest". Not only this, Musk even talked about political revenge against Republican lawmakers who supported this bill.

Trump's response and allegations

Donald Trump expressed displeasure over Musk's criticism and said that he was disappointed with Elon Musk. Trump claimed that Musk was aware of the entire process of this bill and did not raise any objection as long as he was in government position. Trump also said that the sudden criticism of Musk is politically motivated and double standards.

Musk's reply: "I was never shown the bill"

Musk responded to Trump's allegations in very sharp words. He said that he was neither given a copy of this bill nor did he get any opportunity to discuss it. According to Musk, this bill was passed so fast "in the dark of night" that many members of Congress could not even read it properly. Musk also clarified that he resigned from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) because he disagreed with this process.

Another controversy on social media

The matter did not stop here. Musk recently made a controversial post, in which he claimed that Trump's name is in the documents related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. However, after some time he deleted this post. Analysts believe that this move could be a sign of a possible reconciliation with Trump.

Trump and Musk were once close

It is worth noting that Elon Musk and Donald Trump were previously considered to have a good relationship. After the deadly attack on Trump in Pennsylvania in July 2024, Musk immediately supported him. He wrote on X, "I fully support Trump and wish him a speedy recovery." After this, Musk publicly supported Trump's Republican candidacy and both appeared together in many election campaign events.

What's next?

For now, Musk's remorseful statement and removal of the post indicate that he is trying to improve relations with Trump. But it is clear that in this confluence of politics, technology and social media, even a tweet can create a big political storm.
