Elon Musk Acknowledges "Going Too Far" After Series of Remarks Targeting President Donald Trump

On Tuesday night, Elon Musk – CEO of Tesla and SpaceX – officially spoke out on the X platform (trước this is Twitter), admitting that he had "gone too far" in recent statements related to President Donald Trump. "I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They have gone beyond the limit," Musk wrote succinctly. This acknowledgment comes after nearly a week of public tension between two influential figures, starting when Musk claimed Trump was involved with sealed documents in the Jeffrey Epstein case – a shocking allegation that stirred public opinion. He later suggested that Trump would not have a chance to be re-elected without support from him. Both of these posts have been deleted and now only an error message remains: "Hmm… this page does not exist. Please try searching for other content." Musk did not provide a specific reason for why he deleted the posts, but the consequences occurred almost immediately. Trump reacted sharply, warning of "serious consequences" In response to Musk's remarks, President Trump had a phone interview with NBC News, during which he threatened that if Musk chooses to support the Democratic Party in the upcoming elections, "If he does that, he will pay the price," Trump emphasized. "Very serious." Trump also confirmed that he no longer has a relationship with Elon Musk. "I used to help him a lot during my first term," Trump said. "I have no intention of talking to him anymore." Additionally, he also accused Musk of "disrespecting the office of the President." JD Vance speaks out to soothe, calling Elon an "emotional" person. Senator JD Vance, who is currently the Vice President in the hypothetical Trump cabinet, commented on the issue in a podcast with comedian Theo Von. "I think Elon is making a big mistake," Vance shared. However, he described Musk as "an emotional person" and tried to diffuse the situation with a more tolerant attitude. The once close relationship has now fallen apart. Just two weeks ago, Elon Musk and Donald Trump publicly praised each other. Musk even held the leadership role of the Office of Government Efficiency – an organization established by Trump to cut federal spending. The close relationship between the two was once seen as a driving factor for investment in Musk's companies. However, everything now seems to have completely broken down. Tensions escalated after Musk opposed a new bill by Trump – referred to as the "Big Beautiful Bill" (Big Beautiful Bill) – for not including the policies he supports. The White House quickly responded through press secretary Karoline Leavitt: "This is an unfortunate act from Elon, who is dissatisfied that the bill does not include policies to his liking." Impact on the Musk empire: Tesla and SpaceX in the crosshairs Investors are currently closely monitoring the situation, as a series of tensions could seriously impact the businesses of Elon Musk. Tesla and SpaceX have both received significant support from the Trump administration during its first term. Musk's role in shaping technology policy and federal budgets is also not insignificant. However, after a week of chaos and mutual attacks, that support may be permanently gone. #CryptoFees101
