In a classic flip-flop move, Elon Musk just admitted he feels regretful about his bashful tweets about President Donald Trump last week -- well, mostly.

The Tesla CEO hopped on X in the middle of the night and gave a vague apology to Trump ... saying he regrets "some" of his tweet about the prez, reasoning they "went too far."

He did not elaborate on which tweets he deemed unnecessary, and Trump has yet to respond to his public declaration of remorse.

The chaos erupting in L.A. is less about politics and more about a serious leadership problem, according to a Texas congressman.

Rep. Wesley Hunt didn't hold back on "TMZ Live" Tuesday -- telling us the federal government had to deploy 700 Marines and thousands of National Guard troops to restore order in the City of Angels ... because it's all about protecting American streets from looking like a war zone.

Wesley makes it clear to us this isn't about red vs. blue states -- it’s about who's actually leading with backbone, and in his eyes, Texas is setting the bar.

The comedian and actor graciously accepted the trophy from Stevie Wonder and immediately got vulnerable ... noting he thought of his stroke and subsequent hospitalization when the "In Memoriam" tribute was playing -- 'cause just two years ago, he almost didn’t make it.

He debated ... "I was like man, that could have been me. But I don't know why I went through what I went through, but I know my second chance I'm not going turn down. I'm not going to turn down."

After a weekend of violent and fiery protests in L.A. against ICE in the city and the county ... the U.S. Marines are being called in to bolster National Guard troops and local cops in confrontations with crowds.

An eye-popping 700 Marines are set to roll into L.A. over the next 24 hours -- with military officials saying they're being sent to keep the peace, as ICE raids targeting undocumented immigrants have provoked a heated -- and sometimes violent -- public response.

But, the tense protests are taking place in anything but a war zone, where the Marines are usually deployed ... the LAPD tells us there have been no reported deaths or homicides over the past 4 days of demonstrations in downtown L.A. and other areas.

Waymo’s self-driving cars can dodge traffic -- but not angry crowds ... 'cause multiple vehicles got totally wrecked during the immigration protests over the weekend.

Downtown L.A. turned into a battleground with Waymo’s self-driving cars set ablaze, flames ripping through the fleet as anti-ICE graffiti covered every inch -- and the chaos was so intense, the company’s been forced to yank its vehicles from the streets.

Waymo’s now issued a statement saying their cars are still running in L.A. -- but with the coordination and guidance of the LAPD, they’ve decided to pull out of downtown "out of an abundance of caution" after the fiery attacks.

Horror in Tennessee as a skydiving plane has crashed with up to 20 on board -- and two were rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

Shocking pics from the Tullahoma crash site Sunday show the wrecked plane on the ground -- one wing snapped clean off, the nose crumpled in, debris scattered everywhere.

News Channel 5 says the plane clipped trees near Tullahoma Regional Airport -- then came crashing down.

A terrifying scene unfolded over the weekend in the waters off New York City, where a boat carrying 22 people exploded into flames -- forcing everyone on board to jump into the water.

The fiery blast erupted just after 8:30 on Saturday night, triggering a massive emergency response from the Coast Guard, FDNY and NYPD.

According to the FDNY, 3 people were pulled from the water -- including one in critical condition -- while the remaining passengers managed to swim to a small area off the Bronx shoreline. The Coast Guard transported the shaken survivors to a nearby island where they were evaluated by paramedics.

Colombian Senator Miguel Uribe -- a potential presidential frontrunner -- is clinging to life after being shot in broad daylight during a political event over the weekend.

The stunning attack went down in Bogota on Saturday while 39-year-old Uribe was greeting supporters at a park. According to officials, a gunman fired at him from behind -- and graphic footage circulating online shows the terrifying moment.

Uribe’s wife, Maria Claudia Tarazona, issued an update on social media, revealing he’s fighting for his life. Outside the hospital, crowds gathered for a candlelight vigil.

Jared Leto is being accused of inappropriate behavior via phone calls, emails and text messages with underage girls ... with the allegations coming out in a new report.

Air Mail -- a weekly newsletter founded by Vanity Fair's former editor-in-chief Graydon Carter and former New York Times reporter Alessandra Stanley -- published an exposé with accounts from several women who say they met him before they turned 18.

According to the report, a few of these women claim Leto asked for their phone numbers ... including one who says she was just 16 years old when he texted with her in 2006.

Donald Trump's sharing a stern warning with Elon Musk ... implying he's better off staying out of politics entirely than supporting Democrats in the upcoming midterms.

DJT said, "He’ll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that."

Vice President JD Vance is not here for the Elon Musk vs. Donald Trump beef -- calling it a "huge mistake" for the Tesla CEO to go after 47.

JD makes his viewpoint crystal clear while sitting down with Theo Von for his "This Past Weekend" podcast, released Saturday ... warning Elon's several digs at the prez are not good for America, and certainly not good for him.

He also takes issue with EM's social media claim that DJT is named in the still-secret Epstein files, arguing ... "Absolutely not. Donald Trump did absolutely nothing wrong with Jeffrey Epstein."

Elon Musk might have some regrets about claiming President Donald Trump is named in the Epstein files ... 'cause it appears he has deleted his bombshell tweet that shook the internet to its core.

Remember ... the Tesla founder dropped the allegation on Thursday as he and 47 were going at it on social media ... claiming the reason the Epstein files have not been fully revealed is because DT's name is hiding somewhere in them. That tweet has seemingly been scrubbed as of Saturday morning, however.

Trump’s attorney-general Pam Bondi released a slew of files related to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's case in February ... but there was zip on any Trump involvement in Jeffrey's sick and twisted criminal endeavors.

Elon Musk and President Trump's epic, "Mean Girls"-esque breakup isn't just entertaining, it's a giant opening for Democrats to win back voters ... according to Bill Maher, who fears the party's gonna miss the boat. Again.

Maher dropped a "new rule" for Dems Friday night on his HBO show 'Real Time' ... as he urged left-leaning leaders to pull the plug on "idea-a-thon" think tanks, and focus on winning back guys like Musk and Joe Rogan.

Flying a kite is one thing, but becoming the kite is downright death-defying... as 2 little kids learned when their bouncy castle got yanked 40 feet into the air by a massive gust of wind -- and the video is chilling.

It all went down during a school fundraiser in Krugersdorp, South Africa ... where you can see the freak wind storm sent the inflatable house o' fun flying into the sky with kids still inside -- and, horrifyingly, they were tossed out mid-air.

Helpless bystanders watched in shock last weekend as one child lost grip and plummeted to the ground, and another fell a heartbeat later.

Donald Trump continued his war of words with Elon Musk Friday morning ... talking about his one-time adviser and campaign financier on a few news stations -- mostly dismissing this week's stunning fallout.

As TMZ previously reported ... Trump and Musk have been locked in a bitter social media feud, and it reached a boiling point yesterday when EM said via X that Trump is listed in the so-called Epstein Files -- there's no evidence of this, BTW -- and that's why they haven't been publicly released.

Later Thursday, Trump posted to Truth Social that he wasn't bothered Elon turned on him -- and he has bigger fish to fry ... which is essentially what he reiterated to CNN's Dana Bash Friday morning.
