Elon Musk has said he “regrets some” of his posts about Donald Trump, after a spat between two of the world’s most powerful men resulted in a public split last week.
“I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far,” the Tesla chief executive said in a post on his social media company X on Wednesday.

Musk called for Trump to be impeached, suggested his trade tariffs would cause a US recession, threatened to decommission SpaceX capsules used to transport Nasa astronauts and insinuated the president was associated with the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Allies have since urged the US president and his billionaire backer to repair their relationship.
