Billionaire Elon Musk has said he regrets some of the posts he made last week about US President Donald Trump as they went "too far".
Mr Trump and Mr Musk began exchanging insults last week on social media, with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO describing the president's sweeping tax and spending bill as a "disgusting abomination."
Mr Trump said on Saturday their relationship was over but has since said that he would not have a problem if Mr Musk called and wished him well.
"I regret some of my posts about President Donald Trump last week. They went too far," Mr Musk wrote in a post on his social media platform X.

He did not say which specific posts he was talking about.
Tesla shares in Frankfurt were up 2.44% after Mr Musk's post.
Since the dispute began, Mr Musk has deleted some social media posts critical of Mr Trump, including one signalling support for impeaching the president.
Sources close to Mr Musk had said his anger has started to subside, and that they believe he may want to repair his relationship with Mr Trump.
Mr Musk's expression of regret came just days after Mr Trump threatened the tech billionaire with "serious consequences" if he sought to punish Republicans who vote for a controversial spending bill.

Their break-up was ignited by Mr Musk's harsh criticism of Mr Trump's so-called "big, beautiful" spending bill, which is currently before Congress.
Some politicians who were against the bill had called on Mr Musk - one of the Republican Party's biggest financial backers in last year's presidential election - to fund primary challenges against Republicans who voted for the legislation.
"He'll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that," Mr Trump, who also branded Mr Musk "disrespectful," said on Saturday, without specifying what those consequences would be.
