Musk took to his X social media on Wednesday to admit that he regrets some of the posts he wrote about President Trump.

The former buddies have been at loggerheads over what seemed to be differences in their approach to government spending after Trump launched the One Big Beautiful Bill.

Musk, who was previously head of the Department of Government Efficiency, a department saddled with the responsibility of making government more efficient by cutting spending and downsizing the federal workforce, slammed the bill as a “disgusting abomination.”

“Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it,” he wrote, adding that the bill “will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America [sic] citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt.”

The Tech Billionaire Dropped The ‘Bomb’ On Donald Trump

Although Musk didn’t mention the specific post he regrets making about Trump, some of his recent posts have been quite unsettling, including one where he dropped the “bomb” by alleging that the billionaire politician was on convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s list, and that was “the real reason they have not been made public.”

In another explosive tweet, Musk claimed that Trump couldn’t have won the 2024 elections without him, a tweet that seemingly irritated the president.

“Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House, and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,” Musk said. He added: “Such ingratitude.”

He even suggested at one point that Trump should be impeached and replaced by Vice President JD Vance.

Meanwhile, a lawyer for Epstein, David Schoen, has since distanced Trump from Musk’s allegations, saying the disgraced financier never had any dirt on the president.

According to TMZ, Schoen said Epstein admitted that he didn’t have anything on Trump and that if he had dirt on the president, he would have used it.

“What I can say definitively is that I discussed this subject with Mr. Epstein at a time when it would have been in his best interests to implicate others, and he made clear that Donald Trump did nothing wrong and that he had no damaging information against him,” the lawyer said.

Epstein, who notably had ties with celebrities, politicians, and royalty, was arrested on multiple disturbing charges and was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges before he died by suicide in 2019.

Following Musk’s accusation, photos of him and Trump partying together surfaced on the internet; however, Schoen maintained that the president had done nothing wrong.

Taking to his X account, the lawyer wrote: “I was hired to lead Jeffrey Epstein’s defense as his criminal lawyer 9 days before he died. He sought my advice for months before that. I can say authoritatively, unequivocally, and definitively that he had no information to hurt President Trump. I specifically asked him!”

In a reply to another tweet restating his claims, Schoen said he can “unequivocally” state that President Trump “never did anything wrong with Jeffrey Epstein.”

According to the New York Post, Trump said he was “disappointed” in Musk but that they “could” still patch things up; however, that isn’t a priority on his to-do list at the moment.

Speaking with columnist Miranda Devine on the debut episode of “Pod Force One,” Trump said he doesn’t “blame” Musk for the breakdown of their alliance, but is “a little disappointed.”

“Look, I have no hard feelings,” Trump said. “I was really surprised that that happened. He went after a bill that’s phenomenal. …He just — I think he feels very badly that he said that, actually.”

“I was disappointed in him, but, you know, it is what it is,” Trump admitted after Devine said that Musk seemed to treat the president “a bit like a father.”
