“They went far away”: Musa says he sorry for some of his posts about Trump Elon Musk
Elon Musk expressed his distinction of some of his tweets about Donald Trump last week, in a clear attempt to retract the explosive fall that threatened to damage the interests of the work of the Tesla President.
Musk was so large, the largest donor of Trump’s presidential campaign, but the tensions between the two erupted in public opinion last week and rapidly escalated, as he called on the richest man in the world to isolate the president and mocked his links to the crime of the perpetrator, Jeffrey Ibstein in a series of jobs.
Tuesday, musk Posted on XThe social network it owns: “I regret some of my posts about President Realdonaldtrum last week. They went too far.”
When asked if he could reconcile with Musk, Trump said, “I think I can” in an interview published on Wednesday by the New York Post. The president said that he was “not a happy cart” when Musk launched a Crescent, but he claimed that he “had no difficult feelings towards it,” adding: “I think he feels very much, he said that.”
It seems that the possibility of rapprochement – no matter how superficial – has received investors. Tesla’s share price increased by 2.6 % in the pre -market trade.
The general dispute was one of the most unusual turns in the relationship between the two men. During the presidential campaign, they claimed that they were ideological allies, and he served Musk for a short period in the Trump government as the head of the so -called “government efficiency”, a campaign to reduce the relevant government programs “Doug” after the Internet. Experts have argued that reducing costs is illegal.
However, the relations quickly strained after Moses publicly criticized a “big bill” for Trump, saying it would add $ 2.4 trillion to the US government borrowing and describing it as “disgusting abomination.”
Trump had responded to the apostasy of Mousse from criticism by saying that the technological billionaire “became crazy”. However, the president also pointed out direct signs of Musk companies, highlighting the potential financial risks of the dispute.
In a direct reference to Tesla, Trump wrote about the truth, his social media network: “I got rid of EV, which forced everyone to buy electric cars that no one wants.” Analysts say that the electric car pione is struggling with low sales in some markets, including most Europe, in part, due to Musk’s loyalty to Trump.
Musk’s consensus with the US President has prompted an increase in the market value of Tesla, as investors hope that the White House will look positively at the company’s independent driving technology. Musk’s retreat from the dispute came a day before Tesla was launched to serve “Robotaxi” in Austin, Texas. This launch is seen as it is crucial for the company to justify its location as the most car maker in the world even as it struggles with a group of products.
Trump also threatened the main musk companies, Rockket Compaxx. Trump wrote: “The easiest way to save money in our budget, billions and billions of dollars is to finish Ellen’s government subsidies and contracts.”
In practice, the US government is unlikely to cancel Spacex contracts, as it carries out strategic more important launch operations from each other company in the world combined. Musk initially threatened to stop the Dragon Dragon’s Spacex, which is the main car to transport NASA astronauts to the International Space Station, before withdrawing the threat.
