Musk admits having « gone too far » in his clash with Trump, who says he is « grateful » for the regrets of his ex-right-Liberation

The ax of war seems to be (for the moment) buried. The Multimillionaire Elon Musk took a new step, this Wednesday, June 11 in the morning, towards his old partner Donald Trump with whom he shared at the start of the year Bromance to the highest peak of the Statebefore ranging violently on social networks. “I regret some of my messages on President Donald Trump last week. They went too far ”, he Posted on its X network.

At the end of the day, the White House spokesperson said Donald Trump « Has seen the press release that Elon published this morning, and it is grateful ». She added that the administration had not started any examination of the many contracts between the multimillionaire companies and the federal state.

According to several American media such as CNN and the New York TimesElon Musk would have called Donald Trump in the evening on Monday, before his regret message on X.

The boss of Spacexspace company very dependent on the orders of NASA, and founder of the car manufacturer Tesla, subject to the normative framework enacted by the American authorities, had made a series of first gestures at the end of last week. He had thus deleted a post on X published at the height of his dispute with the American president, in which he accused him of being involved In the Jeffrey Epstein casenamed after a financier accused of sexual exploitation of minors.

Other posts written or shared by the billionaire, one of whom called to dismiss Donald Trump, have also been deleted. In his new tweet, Elon Musk did not detail this Wednesday to what publications he was referring.

The two men, who were very close during Donald Trump’s campaign and at the start of his second term, were torn apart publiclyin both professional and personal registers. The businessman had thus denounced the budget bill brought by Donald Trump, who had questioned the mental health of the latter.

It all starts Thursday, June 5. If Trump sees in his budget bill a « Large and beautiful law »and which constitutes the keystone of its presidential program, for The Tech Markatit is neither more nor less than« A repugnant abomination ». Donald Trump then replied that he was amazed, especially since according to him Elon Musk knew the content of the project.

« Fake », had retorted the latter, before continuing by saying that it was thanks to him, his support and his dollars, that Donald Trump was sitting in the oval office today. And to evoke the possibility of creating his own political party, he who cannot be elected to the White House because they were born out of the United States.

He is « Gone mad », had retaliated Donald Trump, waving the threat of removing public subsidies and orders to Elon Musk companies. The exchanges had continued thus for hours under the gaze of the rest of the planet, stunned before the shock between the richest man in the world, backed by a fortune of almost $ 400 billion, and the most powerful man in the world at the head of the United States.

Especially since they had been very close, exchanging countless kindness in previous months, when Elon Musk had been responsible for setting up the DOGEthe Federal Commission responsible for shaping, sometimes brutally, the expenses of the federal state.

But this separation also carries very concrete consequences for Elon Musk companies, given the executive power held by Donald Trump. And this, despite the crucial place of Elon Musk’s companies in the American landscape, even if the latter argued that his power was more sustainable: “Trump is still three and a half years old as president. I will be there for still forty years. ”

Influential Trumpists like The far -right ideologist Steve Bannon Also asked to investigate the migration status of Elon Musk – the 50 -year -old was born in South Africa -, on his ability to access confidential information and his alleged consumption of drugs.

Despite an apparent lull since Friday, the two men having wished to mutually « good luck », The invectives resumed more beautiful on Saturday. In an interview with the NBC channel, Donald Trump has publicly threatened his former ally. Asked about the possibility that the wealthy entrepreneur finances democratic candidates in the campaign against republican elected officials supporting this text, Donald Trump retorted: « If he does it, he will have to pay the consequences ». « He will have to face very heavy consequences », He added, without detailing the nature of these potential repercussions. The two men definitely seem far from a rabibochage potential.

Their close proximity at the beginning of the year had caused harm to the images of Elon Musk brands, having them tumbled in the stock market and notably triggering world boycott on its electric cars.

But the threat of American sanctions weighs even more strongly. This Wednesday morning, after the regrets mentioned by Elon Musk, Tesla’s shares in Frankfurt increased by 2.44 %. A possible reconciliation would still benefit the two men.
