After weeks of back-and-forth, Elon Musk is tapping the brakes on his public feud with President Donald Trump, admitting on X that some of his posts “went too far.”
Just hours after deleting a controversial claim about Trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein, Musk walked back his criticism — though he kept up jabs, calling the new spending bill a “disgusting abomination” and crediting himself for Trump’s 2020 victory.
The retreat may signal the end of Musk’s behind-the-scenes influence in the White House — and it couldn’t come soon enough for investors.
Tesla shares rose nearly 2% in early trading Wednesday, recovering from last Thursday’s sell-off.
But make no mistake, the feud burned hot.
Musk, who contributed hundreds of millions to Trump’s campaign, now faces threats of federal reprisal. Safety regulators could stall his robo-taxi rollout, tentatively slated for June 22 in Austin.
The question now is whether this reset will hold — or if it’s merely a reprieve before the next round.
