Tech billionaire Elon Musk has expressed regret over some of his past social media posts concerning former U.S. President Donald Trump. Speaking during a recent interview, Musk acknowledged that certain remarks he made on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) were impulsive and not thoughtfully considered.

While Musk did not specify which posts he was referring to, he admitted that the intense political climate at the time often led to emotionally charged reactions. He emphasized the importance of free speech but also noted the responsibility that comes with having a large platform and global influence.

This statement marks a rare moment of public reflection for Musk, who is known for his outspoken and sometimes controversial online presence. The comments have sparked renewed discussions about the role of tech leaders in political discourse, especially ahead of the 2024 U.S. elections.
