Lawrence: Musk says he ‘went too far’ attacking Trump, but not killing the world’s poorest children
MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell details how Elon Musk has not expressed regret for taking food away from starving children but now says he regrets his tweets attacking Donald Trump, so “Elon Musk is now back lying to benefit Donald Trump and lying about Los Angeles.”

I’ve never shared a link in my almost 130 newsletters, so this is a first. The tech is challenging me a bit, so you may need to copy the text below and put it in your browser to view the video from Lawrence O’Donnell’s show on June 12,2025. I encourage you to learn about his shows and view them on MSNBC nightly at 10pm EDT. His analysis of current events, especially with the Trump administration is 🎯.

Here’s a breakdown of the segment from The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell:

Key Highlights

  • Musk’s Melt‑Down & Apology: Elon Musk admits he “went too far” in his recent online attacks against Donald Trump. He acknowledges the tone was overly harsh and expresses some regret.  
  • The Gravity Scale: Law­r­ence O’Donnell points out that while Musk regrets this verbal “attack,” Musk notably continues to fund initiatives that have real-world harm—particularly in impoverished regions. The host notes the disturbing contrast: Musk’s remorse over aggressive tweets, yet seeming indifference to policies or investments that “kill the world’s poorest children.”  
  • Contextual Backdrop; These comments follow a fierce Twitter feud between Musk and Trump, intensifying debates over Musk’s role in public discourse since taking control of X.

✅ Summary in a Nutshell

Musk publicly admits he “went too far” when attacking Trump online. However, The Last Word frames this apology as somewhat hollow—highlighting that Musk hasn’t expressed similar regret about many of his other choices such as those adversely impacting the world’s poorest. The contrasting attitudes toward hurtful speech versus economic/policy-driven suffering form the crux of Lawrence O’Donnell’s critique and he SLAMS MUSK!
