Elon Musk said he will continue to advise President Donald Trump even after stepping away from the Department of Government Efficiency effort he has spearheaded.
“I expect to remain a friend and an adviser, and hopefully, if there’s anything the president wants me to do, I’m at the president’s service,” Musk said alongside Trump during a press conference Friday at the White House. “This is not the end of DOGE, but really the beginning.”
The comments indicate that the chief executive officer of Tesla Inc. and SpaceX plans to remain in the president’s orbit despite vows to pull back from Washington and prioritize his business empire. As the head of DOGE, Musk’s efforts to slash spending and cut government jobs have drawn pushback from federal workers and Democratic lawmakers as well as a consumer backlash to his business interests.
Musk’s divided attention has rattled investors and Wall Street analysts who underestimated the damage being done to Tesla’s brand around the world. As discontent grew over his focus, the billionaire vowed to pull back “significantly” from his government work to devote more time to Tesla as it nears the critical launch of robotaxi service.
