In a dramatic turn, Elon Musk has posted a new bombshell on his social media platform, where he expressed "regret" over his recent posts about US President Donald Trump last week where he linked American leader with convicted sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein. "I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far," Musk wrote on X. He did not say which specific posts he was talking about.

What did Elon Musk say about Trump last week?

Earlier last week, Musk, who had headed Trump's most touted Doge department, made a startling claim that the US President is mentioned in files connected to convicted sex offender Epstein. "Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!" Musk posted.
He followed up with another remark: "Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out."

Tesla shares up after Musk social media post on Trump

Tesla shares in Frankfurt were up 2.44 per cent after Musk's post. Since the dispute began, Musk has deleted some social media posts critical of Trump, including one signalling support for impeaching the president. News agency Reuters sources close to Musk had said his anger has started to subside, and that they believe he may want to repair his relationship with Trump.

Trump says he is very disappointed 

Although the US President is yet to react on Musk's latest "regret" post, Trump had called Musk volatile during a private conversation revealed by Reuters. On Thursday, he told his team, it was time to take the gloves off. Sitting next to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in the Oval Office, Trump told reporters he was "very disappointed" in his former adviser. Musk quickly hit back on social media, and the back-and-forth devolved from there.
