Elon Musk issued a public apology early today for recent social media posts targeting former President Donald Trump, stating they “went too far.” The apology, posted aon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) account, comes in the wake of escalating tensions following his unsubstantiated June 7 claim linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein’s files.
The accusation sparked a sharp backlash, contributing to a $150 billion drop in Tesla’s market capitalization and prompting Trump to threaten the withdrawal of federal subsidies for Musk’s businesses. Among the affected interests is SpaceX, which holds $14 billion in NASA contracts.
