Main Story:
Known for his unfiltered social media presence, Elon Musk stunned followers by admitting that he may have gone overboard in past comments about Donald Trump. Responding to a user on X, Musk said, “I regret some of my posts about President Donald Trump last week. They went too far.”
Musk and Trump have had a tense and unpredictable online relationship, oscillating between praise, criticism, and outright mockery. During Trump’s presidency and beyond, Musk often used his massive platform to weigh in — sometimes with sharp jabs that drew both cheers and backlash.
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO’s new tone surprised many of his followers, especially those who had come to expect provocative commentary from him. While some applauded his honesty, others questioned whether the statement was strategic, possibly tied to future political or business moves.
Musk’s admission may signal a broader attempt to dial back on public feuds and rebrand his image as X continues to face scrutiny over its content moderation and political influence. Observers are speculating whether this shift could mean a more cautious Elon — or just a temporary pause in online fireworks.
Even Elon Musk is learning that in the age of screenshots and split-second reactions, every tweet can leave a lasting legacy — for better or worse
