US President Donald Trump responded to Elon Musk’s public apology after a bitter social media spat between the two former allies.
Musk admitted that his recent criticism of Trump had gone “too far,” hoping that tensions between him and the president might ease after a week of sharp personal attacks.
Trump commented on the apology during a brief phone interview. Despite the harsh words, Trump said that he has “no hard feelings.”
Trump said, “I thought it was very nice that he did that.” He also said he doesn’t “blame” Musk for the blow-up that started with the latter’s criticisms of the Big Beautiful Bill. However, he maintained that he was “a little disappointed.”
Elon Musk, a former Trump aide, unleashed a series of posts about Trump last week. The feud began when Musk lashed out at Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. Trump responded by downplaying Musk’s role in his political success.
