A reunion of the world's richest man and the most powerful may not be imminent, but at least one of them has now expressed his regrets as their relationship lies in ruins. Elon Musk said on X in the early hours of Wednesday that he “regrets” some of the barbs he posted as he and President Donald Trump traded insults on social media and said they “went too far.” Musk didn't elaborate in his 3 a.m. ET message on which posts from last week he regretted and he didn't explain what caused his sudden change of heart.

At the height of their online feud — sparked by landmark spending legislation Trump calls the “big, beautiful bill” — Musk said president wouldn't have won the election without him and accused him of undermining the work of DOGE in cutting billions from federal budgets. Musk referred to the bill as a “disgusting abomination” that would land the U.S. in unsustainable debt.

Trump on Saturday made clear his disappointment with his former ally, suggesting the U.S. government could cut its lucrative ties with Musk’s businesses and prompting the angry Tesla founder to highlight the president's one-time links with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Musk replied “Yes” to an X user who suggested Trump should be impeached.

In an interview Saturday Trump told NBC News that there would be unspecified “serious consequences” for Musk were he to financially back any Democrat candidates in future elections who oppose the government's sweeping budget bill.

1. Grovel harder, shitweasel

Tech bruh is such a cuck. There goes his shot at becoming king of the dude-bruhs. The orange menace will eventually relent and appear all magnanimous, allowing the muskrat back into the fold, but not before a series of manic stunts to prove fealty.

2. Lame.

[Javaman]

3. there are bullies and there are geeks.

the bullies, historically, bully geeks.
but then there is the geek that tries to suck up to the bullies.
they still get bullied, but they now have a bully to protect them.
then the geek gets to smart and insults the bully.
the bullies kick the geek to the curb.
now the other geeks hate him and the bullies hate him.
what to do?
he liked the taste of power.
he grovels back to the bullies.
the bullies take him back but things will never be like they were.
the bullies will use every opportunity to make fun of the geek.
and the geek?
he sucks it up and laughs with them.
this pattern is as old as time itself.

5. You're right about that...some of these guys can take all the mixed martial arts classes they want to

They can hire the best personal trainer and get the best weight sets. They can get the full camo gear and go to the range and hire mercs to help them shoot. I know a few who have gone all Orange Theory and Crossfit and spend every morning "in the box" or whatever.

But they just ain't built that way. They are still the same person they always were.

14. They are natural enemies. We need to challenge these people to see what is

happening before their eyes. MAGA is hopeless but geeks at least have some brain matter to activate.

[Prairie Gates]

4. Bro is a straight herb

Deadass.

[Paladin]

6. Musk wears desperation well.

Don't think I've ever seen him dressed more immaculately.

[RAB910]

7. The South African Nazi already alienated every good person on the planet. He knows he can't make enemies of MAGA

as well. He still needs someone to buy his shitty cars

[Lonestarblue]

8. I'm sure Trump is gloating that the world's richest man has caved to him.

Elon is just as evil, though, and I hope he now secretly uses his wealth to dethrone Trump’s Republican Congress.

[sinkingfeeling]

9. How do you pronounce 'MACO'? He and TACO are 2 peas in a pod.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

10. MA-CO, MA-CO man,

Trump loves to diss
the MA-CO man!

[sandyd921]

11. Do you suppose

That he’s just figured out that people (especially those likely to buy his cars) will not buy the cars of a trump devotee?

[Bluetus]

12. This was all just theater to enable more insider trading

There was never a real feud, at least not between Trump and Musk -- maybe with some of the lower level people envious of Musk's control over Trump.

[fujiyamasan]

23. Typical of both of them

Market manipulation is nothing new for either Trump or Musk.

[Bluetus]

25. And 3 --- 2 --- 1 --- surprise, they are a couple again

Seriously, what does it take for the major media to recognize this for what it is?

[highplainsdem]

13. One chicken apologizing to another.

[travelingthrulife]

16. All more theater for stock market.

[dalton99a]

17. The Musk-Trump fight was bullshit, as suspected

[artemisia1]

18. Now, to avoid prosecution Musk will, imo, have to privately commit to $300 million in midterm election Republican

contributions. Then he'll be a "good boy" again -- briefly.

[Canada Kid]

19. Maybe they will french kiss each other!

REMEMBER!!!! Money is thicker than blood! They both need each other to keep up this pillage of the American economy. They don't have to like each other...just figure out how to make money as fast as possible.

[malthaussen]

20. This is how the MAGA "Alpha Males" act. They're as limp as overcooked macaroni. n/t

[Torchlight]

21. I remember the notes I sent in 6th grade to Patricia after she dumped me.

I regret some of those messages as well. I had an excuse for my petulance and acting-out though... I was in 6th grade.

[Martin68]

22. Little Elon is scared?

[mdbl]

24. His regret boosted his stock. Just goes to show how stupid wall street truly is.

It has nothing to do with reality investments, just dumb personality cults.

[Scrivener7]

26. Dammit.
