It looks like Elon Musk will be spending less time with DOGE and more time with his car company starting next month, according to the Associated Press.
Here’s the news:
Billionaire Elon Musk, a key adviser of President Donald Trump, says he’ll dedicate more time to Tesla starting in May after the company reported a big drop in first-quarter profit. The company has faced backlash and angry protests over Musk’s leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, a federal government jobs-cutting group.
Tesla, based in Austin, Texas, said Tuesday that quarterly profits fell by 71% to $409 million, or 12 cents a share.
I think this was always supposed to happen and he’s built a good crew of people at DOGE, so I’m not worried about this in the least. It’s not like he’s quitting altogether, so no biggie.
