Musk Apologizes Amid Feud With Trump

Elon Musk has expressed regret for recent social media posts about President Donald Trump, admitting his comments went too far. The feud began after Musk criticized Trump's tax and spending bill, which led Trump to threaten to cancel federal contracts with Musk's companies, SpaceX and Tesla. Tensions escalated when Musk made, and later deleted, an unsubstantiated claim linking Trump to the Jeffrey Epstein files, drawing widespread attention. The public fallout contributed to a 14.3% drop in Tesla's share value in one day. Musk has apologized for his remarks, while Trump labeled Musk 'disrespectful to the office of the President' and suggested their relationship is likely over, though he wished Musk well. The episode illustrates the volatile intersection of politics, business, and personal rivalries.
