Despite his earlier criticism of Trump’s tax bill, Musk—who contributed over $250 million to Trump’s 2024 campaign—has since shown public support on social media, even liking pro-Trump posts and echoing approval of his handling of protests in Los Angeles, signaling a possible reconciliation.
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has publicly walked back his recent criticisms of Donald Trump, signaling a dramatic shift in their increasingly complicated relationship. In a post on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Musk stated, “I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far.” This comment comes after a week-long digital feud between two of the most influential figures in business and politics.
The Elon Musk Trump relationship, once characterized by mutual admiration, took a sharp turn after Musk harshly criticized Trump’s proposed "One Big Beautiful Bill"—a sweeping tax-and-spending package that has stirred controversy in Congress. Musk's remarks, amplified through multiple Elon Musk Twitter posts, were seen as a direct rebuke of the former president’s legislative agenda.

However, Musk’s tone has notably softened in recent days. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO, who reportedly donated over $250 million to Trump’s 2024 election campaign, has since engaged positively with pro-Trump content. He retweeted supportive messages and even "liked" a video of Trump expressing goodwill toward him, suggesting that their political fallout may be short-lived.
Observers say this Elon Musk backtrack appears to be a strategic recalibration rather than a full reversal. He also publicly endorsed Trump's handling of the recent protests in Los Angeles by reposting statements from Truth Social, Trump’s social media platform.
While tensions between Musk and Trump have flared before, this episode highlights the volatile dynamic between the tech mogul and the former president. As the 2024 political landscape continues to evolve, so too may the Elon Musk Trump criticism—and reconciliation—narrative.
