Musk backs off

What they're saying:

"I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far," Musk wrote on X early Wednesday.

His statement comes after he deleted a post in which he alleged, without evidence, that the government was concealing information about Trump's ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Over the weekend, Trump spoke with NBC and dismissed the idea of repairing his relationship with Musk. He warned that Musk could face "serious consequences" if he backed Democrats in upcoming elections.
