Elon Musk, the billionaire Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Tesla and SpaceX, has publicly expressed regret over some of his criticisms of United States President Donald Trump.

Musk, who recently stepped down from his role in the US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), also admitted that some of his criticisms “went too far”.

The billionaire also alleged that Trump was featured in unreleased government files on former associates of Epstein, who died of suicide in 2019 while he faced sex trafficking charges.
