In a podcast interview for Pod Force One recorded on Monday, June 9, 2025, President Donald Trump indicated he could potentially forgive Elon Musk for their recent public feud, stating, “I guess I could,” and adding, “I have no hard feelings.” This was in response to Musk’s criticisms of Trump’s tax and spending bill, which Musk called a “disgusting abomination” on X, escalating tensions by claiming Trump appeared in Jeffrey Epstein’s files (a post he later deleted). Trump expressed disappointment, noting he was “not a happy camper” but believed Musk regretted his remarks. Hours after the interview was recorded, Musk posted on X on June 11, 2025, apologizing for some of his posts about Trump, admitting they “went too far.” Sources close to Musk told Reuters his anger had subsided, suggesting an intent to repair the relationship. This followed a heated exchange where Trump threatened to cut Musk’s government contracts, and Musk claimed Trump’s election win depended on his support.
