Billionaire Elon Musk said on Wednesday 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 chief executive 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 per cent after Mr Musk's post.
Since the dispute began, Mr Musk has deleted some social media posts critical of Trump, including one signalling support for impeaching the president, and another suggesting Mr Trump is in the Jeffrey Epstein files.
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.
