Musk called Trump before expressing regret publicly, source says

(Reuters) -President Donald Trump received a phone call from Elon Musk on Monday before the billionaire expressed regret over some of the posts he made on social media last week, according to a White House source with knowledge of the matter.

Musk said on Wednesday he regretted some of the posts he made about Trump as they had gone “too far,” a gesture the U.S. president described as “very nice,” in the latest sign of a tentative reconciliation between the two men.
