Elon Musk has distanced himself from his intense conflict with U.S. President Donald Trump, expressing on X his remorse over some of his past posts about the former ally, admitting they were “excessive.”

Early Wednesday morning, he posted “I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far.”

Musk’s rift with the president, whom he invested hundreds of millions of dollars to support, seems to signal the end of his sway at the White House, sparking worries about the potential impact on his ventures. As a significant figure in government contracting, Musk’s businesses could face particular risk of retaliation, with Trump already threatening to sever Musk’s contracts.

Musk earlier deleted a post in which he claimed without evidence that the government was concealing information about the president’s association with infamous pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile, other posts that irritated Trump, including ones in which Musk called the spending bill an “abomination” and claimed credit for Trump’s election victory, remained live.

On Sunday, Trump told NBC’s Kristen Welker that he has no desire to repair their relationship and warned that Musk could face ” serious consequences ” if he tries to help Democrats in upcoming elections.
