Musk says he regrets social media posts targeting Trump: 'They went too far'
Tech executive Elon Musk said Wednesday that he regrets making some of his recent social media posts attacking President Donald Trump, admitting they went "too far." "I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far," Musk wrote on X. This comes after a recent public spat between the two as Musk began criticizing Trump for his "big beautiful" spending bill after the billionaire tech executive spent months working to cut wasteful spending as part of the Department of Government Efficiency, which Musk has since departed. At one point, Musk claimed Trump was in the Justice Department's files on its investigation into accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, saying that was why the president's administration has not made them public. Musk Signals Potential Softening Of Feud With Simple One Emoji Response To Clip Of Trump Wishing Him Well "Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files," Musk wrote. "That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!" Read On The Fox News App Musk later deleted the post. Other posts from Musk included a claim that Trump would not have won the election without his help while accusing Trump of "ingratitude." In another post, Musk suggested that Trump should be impeached and replaced by Vice President Vance. Trump said last week he is not interested in talking to Musk, telling Fox News that "Elon's totally lost it." The president also said while speaking with reporters in the Oval Office last week that he was "very disappointed" in Musk's vocal criticisms of his spending bill. Trump claimed Musk knew what was in the bill and "had no problem" with it until electric vehicle incentives were cut, an assessment Musk slammed as "false."

But this week, Musk and Trump have appeared to soften their stances against one another. "We had a great relationship and I wish him well — very well, actually," Trump said on Monday. Musk, who had also been Trump's senior advisor before his recent exit from the federal government, responded to the clip with a heart emoji. The public spat between the two billionaires appeared to be losing steam after Musk seemingly issued support for Trump's response to the anti-ICE demonstrations in Los Angeles. "Governor Gavin Newscum and 'Mayor' Bass should apologize to the people of Los Angeles for the absolutely horrible job that they've done, and this now includes the ongoing L.A. riots. These are not protesters, they are troublemakers and insurrectionists," Trump said late Sunday in a post Musk shared. Musk also reacted to a post by Vance, who shared a screenshot of a post from Trump about how his administration would address the demonstrations in Los Angeles. "This moment calls for decisive leadership," Vance said along with the screenshot. "The president will not tolerate rioting and violence." Musk responded to the post with a pair of American flag emojis.

Musk signals potential softening of feud with simple one emoji response to clip of Trump wishing him well
President Trump's relationship with Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, which appeared to publicly blow up last week as the two feuded in public, took a softer tone on Monday when Musk responded to a clip of the president on X. "We had a great relationship and I wish him well — very well, actually," Trump said on Monday in a clip that was posted by conservative influencer ALX. Musk responded to that post with a heart emoji on Monday evening. Earlier in the day, Fox News Digital reported that the public spat between the two billionaires appeared to be losing steam after Musk seemingly issued support from Trump's handling of the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles. "Governor Gavin Newscum and 'Mayor' Bass should apologize to the people of Los Angeles for the absolutely horrible job that they've done, and this now includes the ongoing L.A. riots," Trump said late Sunday in the post Musk shared. "These are not protesters, they are troublemakers and insurrectionists." Additionally, Musk also re-posted one of Vice President JD Vance's posts on X about the riots. "This moment calls for decisive leadership," Vance said, sharing a screenshot of a post from Trump about how his administration would address the riots. "The president will not tolerate rioting and violence." Musk also appeared to post a self-deprecating joke about himself on X on Sunday which many interpreted to be a veiled reference to the fallout with Trump. "It's outrageous how much character assassination has been directed at me, especially by me!" Musk posted. While speaking with reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump said that he was "very disappointed" by Musk's vocal criticisms of the bill. The president claimed that Musk knew what was in the bill and "had no problem" with it until the EV incentives had to be cut. On X, Musk called that assessment "false." Trump turned to social media to criticize Musk, who he appointed to find ways to cut $2 trillion after forming the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). "Elon was 'wearing thin,' I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!" Trump said in one post. In another post, Trump said, "I don't mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago. This is one of the Greatest Bills ever presented to Congress. It's a Record Cut in Expenses, $1.6 Trillion Dollars, and the Biggest Tax Cut ever given." "If this Bill doesn't pass, there will be a 68% tax increase, and things far worse than that. I didn't create this mess, I'm just here to FIX IT. This puts our Country on a Path of Greatness. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" At one point, Musk referenced late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in relation to Trump as part of the larger tirade in a comment that several Republicans told Fox News Digital went "too far." Musk deleted that post days later. Other posts from Musk included a claim that Trump would not have won the election without his help while accusing Trump of "ingratitude." In another post, Musk suggested that Trump should be impeached and replaced by Vice President Vance. Trump told Fox News on Friday that he isn't interested in talking to Musk, adding that "Elon's totally lost it." Trump also said to Fox News' Bret Baier that he isn't worried about Musk's suggestion to form a new political party, citing favorable polls and strong support from Republicans on Capitol Hill.

Protestors Are…Purposely Setting California on Fire?
At the beginning of the year, people across the country watched in shock as various parts of Southern California burned to the ground. Now, protestors are setting cars on fire in the middle of the street. Who thinks this is a good idea? Kennedy and Jimmy Failla, host of FOX News Saturday Night and FOX Across America, aren't here to say that protesting for what you think is right is a bad thing — but they are here to discuss why violently doing so in a way that damages local businesses may not be the best answer. They also discuss how they believe California Governor Gavin Newsom and Congresswoman Karen Bass are handling this situation much like the wildfires: horrendously.
