< p > Musk Regrets < / p >< p > Musk posted today (June 11) saying, "I regret some of the posts I made last week about President Trump. They were too much." < / p >< p > A few comments: This expression of regret from Musk lays the foundation for easing relations between the two. Last week, the two engaged in a fierce exchange on social media around the Republican-led budget bill, with a strong sense of hostility. Musk criticized the government's push for large-scale tax and spending bills and attacked Trump, emphasizing his importance to Trump's re-election in 2024, accusing Trump of ingratitude, and even retweeting old news related to Jeffrey Epstein. Trump was not to be outdone, responding that Musk had "great disrespect" for the presidency, denied any connection with Epstein, threatened to cancel federal contracts with Musk's company, and stated that friendly relations with Musk were completely over. < / p >< p > Musk's expression of repentance this time may be due to multiple considerations. From a commercial perspective, alienating Trump could bring many uncertainties to Musk's enterprises; Tesla's stock price fluctuated due to this verbal battle. From a political standpoint, the complex U.S. political ecosystem means that if Musk has political ambitions or business demands in the future, reconciling with Trump would help expand political resources and survival space. It's also possible that after cooling down, Musk felt his words last week were too extreme and apologized to maintain his public image. < / p >< p > Trump has yet to comment on Musk's repentance, and the future direction of their relationship is full of uncertainty. If Trump accepts the "olive branch," they may reconcile and return to cooperation. If Trump remains resentful, the conflict may continue to simmer and erupt again at some point in the future. This "verbal spat" is not just personal grudges but reflects the complex interweaving of interests in American politics and business, which is worth continued attention. < / p >< p >< img src = "//p3-sign.toutiaoimg.com/tos-cn-i-ezhpy3drpa/f4f9b47324ec4a2c9b0fec8fa13c749c~tplv-obj:900:707.image?_iz=97245&bid=15&from=post&gid=1834620530030791&lk3s=06827d14&x-expires=1757376000&x-signature=Zo%2BI3JKXLKsAXPy8BjmYq1Ieesc%3D" / >< img src = "//p3-sign.toutiaoimg.com/tos-cn-i-ezhpy3drpa/1a7eb06f09e6468c9cb2081306784b91~tplv-obj:828:575.image?_iz=97245&bid=15&from=post&gid=1834620530030791&lk3s=06827d14&x-expires=1757376000&x-signature=2gBC6Pi4g8YCV7yc8HvasUWISko%3D" / >< / p >< p > Original article: https://www.toutiao.com/article/1834620530030791/ < / p >< p > Statement: The article only represents the author's personal views. < / p >
