WASHINGTON, June 11 — United States (US) billionaire Elon Musk said on Wednesday that he regretted some posts he had made last week about US President Donald Trump, reported Xinhua.

“I regret some of my posts about President Donald Trump last week. They went too far,” he wrote in a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter)

Musk, Trump’s former adviser and ally during the presidential campaign, had traded barbs with the President on social media last week.

The Tesla and SpaceX chief executive officer lashed out at Trump’s expensive tax and spending bill, describing it as a “disgusting abomination”, while Trump said that Musk was “CRAZY” and threatened to cancel contracts and subsidies for Musk’s companies.

On Monday, Musk’s father Errol said that his son has “made a mistake” by publicly arguing with Trump and that the dispute was triggered by “stress” from both sides, Russian media have reported.

“You know they have been under a lot of stress for five months — you know — give them a break,” he told the Izvestia newspaper during a visit to the Russian capital.
