Musk's endorsement of far right political options probably isn't helping either, especially in Europe, where Tesla sales have plummeted in recent months.
It seems that Musk is finally getting the message — partially, at least. During Tesla's earnings call on Tuesday, he said his time allocation to DOGE would drop "significantly" starting in May. Musk also said he plans to allocate "far more" of his time to Tesla.
He will not, however, leave DOGE completely, as long as the president would like him to stay, and "as long as it's useful".
During the call, Musk also complained about Trump's tariffs on China, which hurt Tesla's profits, as well as claiming that the increasingly widespread Tesla boycotts are the work of those who oppose Musk's work at DOGE.
As for Tesla's future plans, Musk was surprisingly timid. In June, the company will launch "fully autonomous" taxi rides in Austin, Texas, but they won't be Tesla Cybercabs. Instead, the company will launch the autonomous rides with Tesla Model Ys. Musk also said that Tesla Optimus robots will be working in Tesla factories by year's end, though the humanoid robot is also affected by Trump's tariffs.

Overall, however, Musk is still very bullish about the prospects of his company. "I continue to believe that Tesla, with excellent execution, will be the most valuable company in the world by far," he said.
Topics Tesla
Kinda' hard to keep pretending CEOs are worth millions of dollars in salary and bonuses when this guy can just flick off from his post as CEO of THREE companies and go galavanting through the halls of governance throwing vital services off the rails with a chaotic spree of pointless, aimless disruption.
ReplyDeleteGreat! Boycotts and remove Tesla!
ReplyDeleteSo, let me get this straight: Elon Musk spearheads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an initiative established by executive order on January 20, 2025, aimed at reducing federal waste and inefficiency. Yet, some media outlets dismissively label it as a “so-called” department? That’s rich, considering DOGE is as official as any other federal entity born from executive action.
ReplyDeleteDOGE’s mission is clear: streamline government operations and cut unnecessary spending. Its official website, doge.gov, transparently showcases initiatives like deactivating redundant government credit cards and terminating wasteful contracts. These aren’t just symbolic gestures; they’re tangible steps towards fiscal responsibility.
Critics might scoff, but the results speak volumes. DOGE has reported significant savings by identifying and eliminating inefficiencies across various agencies. It’s not about flashy headlines; it’s about delivering real value to taxpayers.
So, before dismissing DOGE as a mere “so-called” department, perhaps it’s time to acknowledge the substantive work being done. After all, efficiency isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a necessity.
And FYI, when AI does take over media jobs… it won’t be because of Elon. It’ll be because people are tired of this low-effort, outrage-farming content dressed up as journalism. Karma’s not coming for Elon—it’s coming for the clickbaiters.
Congress establishes "departments." It can't be done with an EO. So they are technically correct that DOGE isn't a real department.
DeleteBootlickers will bootlick.
DeleteNice try Barron.
DeleteStill waiting to see the $2T in savings promised.
ReplyDeleteAll of these "four hours of sleep" people like Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk, think they can squeeze more into the rest of the day than they actually seem to be able to.
ReplyDeleteDoing drugs all the time probably doesn't help either.
DeleteI don't know how else someone could get by one four hours of sleep. I think they both do a lot of stimulants.
DeleteI get by on 4 hours of sleep. But it is just how my body has been since I was 14. I get 6 or 7 here and there but it is not very often.
DeleteIt doesn't mean that he's changed his position on being an ultra fascist tool, so don't let him off
ReplyDeleteOh sick burn....why are you trying to look at my profile, I'll be upfront with you. I'm flattered, but I'm sorry I'm not gay.
DeleteDon't worry though, some guy out there will be perfect, and you'll have a beautiful life together when you realise your dreams of owning your own B&B
Wait a damn minute. I’m still waiting for the documentation of said fraud and waste. I think names are needed, factual information and detailed amounts for each department. We need the detailed documentation and information, names, titles. Your job isn’t done elon. Not even close. You don’t just walk away.
ReplyDeleteit was never about waste. It was always about gutting the government bodies which actually investigate waste and fraud... which were auditing Musks businesses.
DeleteI know that but they actually think we are all as stupid as the cult. I’m old enough that i worry I may not live long enough to have the whole trump regime blow up in our faces. I want to be able to stand up and tsk tsk for my ignorant relatives
Deleteas if that is ever going to happen with those weasels in the White House. Sorry, didn’t mean to insult weasels.
Deleteit all has to go through the justice dept, they take forever.
DeleteRight?
Deletethe reason you haven't seen the documentation is because there isn't any! You think tRump would keep his mouth shut if there were? The junkie should go, but before that happens, turn him upside down and shake him. Make sure all that "wasted" money isn't in his pockets. Let's hope that even when he takes back control of Tesla, the stock keeps tanking, the cars keep blowing up and he's blamed for all the problems the American people are enjoying.
DeleteThis was his original plan....not because of tesla
ReplyDeleteHe was only allowed to be there for 130 days because he was just an independent “consultant “. This has nothing to do with Tesla and is just for sympathy nonsense.
DeleteThis measure will only reduce his involvement in DOGE, not completely eliminate himself. Therefore, people will continue to refrain from making purchases from Tesla until he ceases to be a member of the Federal government and Tesla’s sales experience deteriorates significantly.
ReplyDeleteFAFO
ReplyDeleteActions have consequences
ReplyDeleteHalf the country cheers with glee as the leaders who sacrifice everything to make America better are systematically assaulted. What moron roots for their own country to crash and burn in a cesspool of fraud, theft, corruption, and incompetence?
ReplyDeleteWell his 130 days he was hired for is over so ...
ReplyDeleteDon't believe a word Elon Musk says! Tesla will not recover soon because that's the only way people can get back to him 👌🏼👌🏼
ReplyDeleteHow are those things related?
ReplyDeleteGOOD ADVISOR MAKE LOT OF KIDS,
ReplyDeletehttps://giphy.com/gifs/judgejudy-judge-judy-f2ExpHhfiPJNceqORt
ReplyDeleteOf course he is. He has stolen all the information he needed. What, is everyone just stupid? The government is completely broken and needs shut them down and rewritten. This is absurd. And no one will be prosecuted.
ReplyDeleteNo one cares about a Nazi 💁♂️
ReplyDeletemaybe research what a nazi salute looks like. Then look at the democrats doing the same salute as Musk. 
Deleteblah blah blah
Deletedid someone’s little feelers get hurt 😂. Or do you have little man syndrome, and can’t handle the facts. 
Deletereduce twitter involvement by selling it please
ReplyDeleteWon’t save the company. No one on the left wants his swasticars, and the right isn’t going to buy a $80k EV.
ReplyDeleteMore Democrat FAKE NEWS as usual from Mashable.
ReplyDeleteElon Musk was hired as a SPECIAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE... and the federal regulations limit the term of Special Government Employees to 130 days. For Elon that means the end of May. That has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Teslas earnings report.
DOGE will continue.
Elon Musk will continue to work as an advisor to the President.
Tesla had a big fall in sales in January and February, as people were waiting to be able to order the new REDESIGNED Model Y(the most popular car in the world). As it became available in March, sales skyrocketed. Up 156.9% in China in March. And in the U.S., even including the slow January and March, Tesla sold more cars in Q1 than the next 10 EV car makers COMBINED.
And I bet we are going to see Tesla's number go straight up from here. They have incredible things coming.
Worry about your own country
DeleteOh you are one of those Democrat ultra-nationalists that hate “foreigners”? At least the ones that disagree with them… 🤣
Deletewho cares what you have to say.worry about your own miserable country
DeleteI am a citizen of planet earth.
DeleteUncredible propaganda.
ReplyDeleteGood, take your rotten azz back to your raggedy company and find some waste fraud and abuse
ReplyDeleteone of the biggest #mcdonaldclowns🤡
ReplyDelete👍🤣🤡
ReplyDeleteHe’s not doing anything , they already said he would still be an advisor . I expect he’s trying to avoid being sacked by Tesla as he only owns 13%
ReplyDeleteLay off the ketamine douche bag
ReplyDeleteThis is going to bring food 🥘 prices down lol 😂
ReplyDeleteNot going to help! 🤣
ReplyDeleteMuck fusk
ReplyDeleteAnd this kind of derangement is why democrats lost my vote.
ReplyDeleteI was a witness at the scene and this is the recorded video https://skysport.wiki/backnews
ReplyDeleteToo late for a recovery. Everyone now knows what kind of person he is.
ReplyDeleteThe kind that doesn’t want the government wasting money?
Deleteexactly, he might as well give his companys some advantage in his position at doge now.
DeleteBecause he already lost a big part of is consumer base worldwide.
They will not be coming back
Can you explain why the stock is up 10% since he announced he was stepping away from DOGE
DeleteIn Europe, the Tesla Model Y has been the best-selling car, even as it has been overtaken by the Dacia Sandero in recent months. The Model Y has consistently ranked as the top-selling EV in Europe, even though its overall market share has decreased in recent times.
DeleteYou said something about him losing consumers worldwide????
Yes, if you followed the news you would have known that:

Here buddy 😉
The stock is up 10% over the last two days.
DeleteYou need to let go of your hate, Luke.
Could t happen to a nicer guy
ReplyDeleteIt's funny that receding from the public eye is his only chance at recovery
ReplyDeleteHopefully he crashes and burns though
Don’t be distracted by his whiny complaining withdrawal he’s already dismantled those agencies that would prohibit his businesses from operating fraudulently and secured his own new contracts!! we need to rescind all (!!) of all those contracts ASAP
ReplyDeleteahh right.
Delete👏👏👏
ReplyDeleteEM most likely fully destroyed the brand beyond any type of recovery. Brand sinking faster then a lead brick thrown in water
ReplyDeleteSeriously doubt the two go together. He has been saying for a while he is stepping back now that it has process in and is being handled.
ReplyDelete♥️🐷
ReplyDeleteYou reap what you sow.
ReplyDeletewhat he sow exactly? Still world largest car company?
DeleteHe just walks around f*cking things up then walks away because he doesn't want to accept responsibility for his actions. Musk is a clown.
ReplyDeleteThey need to ditch that molusk creep from every board. And dismantle his self-awarded contracts. How convenient he dismantled some agencies that were investigating his grifts
ReplyDeletecan you please list those contracts (sourced from govt sources, not news articles) and what he has done to assure those contracts go forward?
DeleteElon Musk is saving America 🇺🇸
ReplyDeleteplease supply unbiased factual evidence that supports the claims made in your comment. I.e "fascist and neo-nazi behaviors"
ReplyDeleteBecause to punish someone financially or by destroying their livelihood for disagreeing with you politically is a characteristic of a fascist.
Also on the subject of being a nazi, who supported hamas? You know, the terrorist group that actually attacked, kidnapped and killed Jewish women and children. I believe that's the democratic party. One democrat actually put their flag on display outside their office. Didnt hear anyone from the left call her a nazi. So please enough with the rhetoric. I get why you hate him, I got no prob with that. But this nazi , fascist , racist name calling umbrella has lost its power, you just sound like a bunch of idiots who are to stupid to ome up with intelligent talking points to support your opinions.
Usually when the goal is to destroy someone's life because you can't silence them, you're prob closer to a fascist than the person you claim is one.
Just saying.......
Sorry for the delay needed to do some quick research;)
ReplyDeleteBased on available reports, Elon Musk has actively supported far-right political movements in Europe through verbal endorsements and platform amplification, though direct financial contributions remain less explicitly documented. Key points include:
Verbal Support
• German AfD Backing: Musk publicly declared “Only the AfD can save Germany” during the 2024 German election cycle and amplified the party’s anti-immigration rhetoric, including claims that multiculturalism undermines German identity. He later pinned an “AfD” post after the party secured 20.8% of the vote in February 2025.
• UK Far-Right Advocacy: Musk demanded the release of imprisoned far-right activist Tommy Robinson and criticized Reform UK’s leadership for not embracing Robinson’s cause.
• Anti-Immigration Rhetoric: Musk has repeatedly framed immigration as a threat to European cultural identity, aligning with far-right narratives.
Platform Influence
• X as a Far-Right Megaphone: Musk’s ownership of X (formerly Twitter) has enabled extremist voices, including neo-Nazis and white supremacists, to proliferate. The platform has been linked to far-right riots in the UK and misinformation campaigns across Europe.
• Event Participation: While Musk did not physically attend the AfD’s in-person gatherings, he addressed their supporters via video at a 2025 event in Halle, Germany, where he criticized “historical guilt” and praised German nationalism.
Financial Involvement
No direct financial contributions to European far-right parties have been confirmed, but Musk’s $250 million donation to Trump’s 2024 campaign and his broader influence via X provide indirect support to aligned ideologies.
Reactions
European leaders, including Spain’s Pedro Sánchez and Germany’s Olaf Scholz, have accused Musk of inciting hatred and undermining democracy. Analysts describe his agenda as ideologically inconsistent but functionally empowering far-right movements.
Summary: Musk has not physically participated in extremist gatherings but has provided substantial verbal and digital support to far-right parties, particularly Germany’s AfD, while his platform fosters anti-immigrant and nationalist rhetoric.
Way too late. Musks basically a racist who buys other people's ideas and Tesla has been revealed as morally questionable in business, leaderless and unable to stand without Musk and light years behind its rivals on every technological level.
ReplyDeleteIt's done.
yeah none that is true. If so please supply us with unbiased evidence to support your claims.
DeleteYear behind? Like landing a rocket for reuse instead of using the same tech designed in the 60s? He's pretty much ahead in every tech he's involved in. Much of which has been reported on and backed up by mashable, until he went against their political opinions. Which should make you wonder about their journalist integrity.
So you know integrity means:
1. the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness.
2. the state of being whole and undivided
He has to leave as his 130 days are up as a “consultant “ to the White House. I’m sure he’d love to stay and cause more havoc and detriment to the USA.
ReplyDeletecause causing detriment to the country that all of his businesses rely on will guarantee his businesses succeed.
DeleteThe trump stain does not wash off.
ReplyDeleteToo little too late
ReplyDeleteWhat's that line?
ReplyDeleteFuc% that guy!
I want him on welfare
ReplyDeleteWait, he needs to stay and fight the fraud and abuse of the military industrial complex!!
ReplyDeletewhile you guys give a pass to all the companies that use child labor to build their products. How you liking that phone?

ReplyDeletecommander in chief
ReplyDeletehttps://media1.tenor.co/m/linnpdQg7DoAAAAd/jim-carrey-funny.gif?
I’m sure it is debated since it hurts your argument against him. LOL Actually very little has been dismissed. Maybe covered up and called lies by the fake news that you are obviously watching. I don’t have time to waste debating with you. I got who I voted for and I support my candidates 100%
ReplyDeleteAnother bullshit hit piece. He was supposed to go back after 120 days dimwits!!
ReplyDelete🤣🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteBye bitch!
ReplyDeletefucking dangerous idiot
ReplyDeleteI've been seeing good results about him everywhere and a lot of people keep saying “reach out him”. I eventually did and it turned out profitable. I have benefited from his trading strategies I highly recommend Nathaniel.
