'Went too far': Musk says he regrets criticising Trump after public fallout

The Tesla and Space X CEO accused Trump of betraying promises to cut federal spending, shared a suggestion that the president should be impeached and claimed that the government was concealing information about his association with Epstein.
"Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!" Musk wrote on X.
Musk did not reveal which files he was talking about and offered no evidence for his claim. He initially doubled down on the claim, writing in a follow-up message: "Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out."
Musk deleted both tweets by Saturday morning.
Perhaps most viciously, the business tycoon insisted that Trump wouldn’t have won last year’s election without his help and slammed the US President for "ingratitude."
Trump, not one to slouch from a fight, could hold back no longer. He posted that Musk had been "wearing thin," that he had "asked him to leave" his administration, that the tech titan had "gone CRAZY."
The US President threatened, he should save taxpayer money by cancelling government contracts and subsidies for Musk’s companies.
Later on Saturday, Trump warned Elon with "serious consequences" if the tech billionaire sought to punish Republicans who vote for his controversial spending bill.
Some lawmakers who were against the bill had called on Musk to fund primary challenges against Republicans who voted for the legislation.
"He'll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that," Trump, who also branded Musk "disrespectful," told NBC News on Saturday, without specifying what those consequences would be.
Trump also said he had "no" desire to repair his relationship with the South African-born Tesla and SpaceX chief, and that he has "no intention of speaking to him."
