- Elon Musk, weeks after President Donald Trump is publicly criticizedIncluding calling for his isolation and the condemnation of the main spending bill – he suddenly retracted his attacks, apologized for X and deleted most of his incendiary posts. This rare reflection appears to be driven by the potential impact of Musk’s commercial interests and its long -term relationship, albeit tense now, with Trump.
As quickly as I started, Elon Musk’s attack against President Donald Trump ended.
During the past few weeks Timing The CEO of one of the supporters of the Casablanca office swollen to one of his most vocal critics, not only urging voters to rebel against the Trump team’s main spending bill but also claims – without evidence – that President Trump’s name is mentioned in Epstein’s files.
But in the early hours of this morning, the founder of Space X retreated some of his comments, as he posted on the social media site that he previously owned in the name of Twitter): “I regret some of my posts about President Donald Trump last week. They went very far.”

For musk, such a general apology was not heard against a prominent political figure. Moses has already told former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that “it does not matter what she says” and called on British Prime Minister Sir Kerr Starmer to prison, saying he was “evil.” He also said that the British British should be imprisoned by the Ministry of the Interior, Representative Jess Phillips, and “dumping it”.
No apologies were issued to these politicians.
However, President Trump has extracted the role of 180 degrees from the richest man on this planet, probably due to the formerly firm partnership between the two and – the right may suggest – because of the pain that the White House could catch up with special musk interests.
The friendship between Musk and Trump again began on the campaign path, as the billionaire businessman supported the Republican candidate at the time to Tens of millions of dollars.
Musk also suggested the idea of the Ministry of Governmental efficiency (DOGE), which is supposed to consider $ 2 trillion of federal spending, and was appointed to lead the team when Trump got the oval office.
Things have decreased since there. Musk started publicly with Peter NavarroTrump’s supreme advisor, saying he was “truly fool.”
This was a response to Navarro claiming that the American people knew Musk – the richest man on this planet – not a “car factory” but a “car complex”. In April, Musk began using the “Fake News” line against Navarro, saying that his allegations about Tesla were “clearly wrong.”
At that time, the White House ignored the debate, where the journalist secretary Caroline Levit says: “The children will be children.”
But Musk’s general criticism of the Trump administration did not stop there: he also criticized Trump’s tariff plans (supported by Navarro) and According to what was stated, the White House advised against such a strategy.
Talk to “I hope, for example, definitions … that at the end of the day … it is agreed that Europe and the United States should move ideally, in my opinion, to a zero tariff – actually created a free trade zone between Europe and North America,” Deputy Prime Minister Moscow Matteo Salvini said in April.
Criticism rises
But since then, Washington has been officially left as a private government employee, things have gone south.
Last week, Musk described a “big and beautiful invoice” Trump As “abomination”, Urging voters to protest politics,Add online: “Call your Senator, call your Congress member, and America’s bankruptcy is not fine! Kill the bill.”
He continued: “[The bill] More than defeat all the cost savings achieved by the DOGE team at a personal cost and great risk. “
Then the CEO of Tesla claimed that Trump could not win the elections last year without him, in addition to asking the voters to rebel against the beautiful major law.
Until the musk went beyond Trump’s call to isolate him, and the Oval Office put on Cancel government contracts with his own entities.
Trump was not silent in this regard, but he was somewhat more lost.Although federal musk contracts are warnedIt could be due to a review, and the president recently added that he was “not thinking” at the CEO of Tesla and hoped to be good with his EV company.
“I have no intention to speak to him [Musk]Trump added inNBC news interviewAt the end of this week. He added: “I think it is very bad, because it is very unbelievable. You cannot do not respect the president’s office.”
Some tensions It looks great after an interview with Vice President JD VanceIn which he said: “I do not want to reveal a lot of confidence, but [Trump] He was somewhat frustrated, and the feeling that some criticism was unfair from Elon … the presidentHe does not think he needs to be in a blood hostility with Elon MuskAnd I actually think that if Elon cools a little, everything will be fine. “
Musk’s reaction to a section of this interview on X was a “cold” response.
In additional breach yesterday, before apologizing, musk as well A common positive reaction to the White House response to Los Angeles protests He deleted his publications from Trump and Ibstein.
