Reference Message Network reported on June 12 that according to a report from EFE News on June 11, the White House said on the 11th that US President Trump expressed gratitude to Elon Musk for sending a message expressing regret after their public confrontation. The White House also confirmed that no measures have been taken to cancel contracts between the government and Musk's enterprises. White House spokesperson Caroline Leavitt said at a press conference: "The president recognizes and thanks Elon's statement this morning. We are still focused on the affairs of the American people." Leavitt was referring to a post published by Musk on social platform X early in the morning, where he expressed regret over some of his comments during his intense verbal exchange with Trump last week. Musk wrote: "I regret some of my posts about President Trump last week. Those remarks were excessive." Leavitt also clarified that although Trump threatened last week to suspend existing agreements with SpaceX and Tesla, which Musk leads, the government has not reviewed any public contracts signed with Musk's enterprises. During the election campaign, Musk was a key ally of Trump. After the election, he was appointed as the head of the controversial Department of Government Efficiency, with the goal of cutting public spending. However, last week, after a series of disagreements with Trump regarding his tax plan, Musk left the administration, triggering a public confrontation between them. (Translated by Su Jiawei)
