Conversely seems to be measuring time for Mask to the US government. This at least implied yesterday Tuesday (22.04.25) as the head of Tesla and his close adviser Donald Trumphe said he would devote much less time in May to pilot the Commission for “Doge”.
“Probably from next month, since May, the time I will distribute to Doge will be greatly reduced,” Elon Musk said during a conference dedicated to the results of using the first -quarter electric car manufacturer. It is noted that Doge created by US President Donald Trump to drastically reduce the spending of the federal state.
‘From next month, I will devote much more than my time in Tesla »he continued, assuring the committee’s “critical work” has already been “largely achieved”.
His carmaker announced yesterday’s results of first quarter use well below expectations: Its sales shrink, partly because of Elon Musk’s close cooperation with the Trump government.
Vandalism, boycott prompts, demonstrations: Tesla has become targeted, in the US and other countries.
Its worldwide sales declined more than expected in the first trimester, with just 336,681 vehicles Delivered to buyers (–13% on an annual basis), according to the numbers it presented in early April.
“As we know, there have been implications for the time I spent on government (…) I think the work we have done is very important (…) to control the irrational deficit that led our country, the US, to the disaster,” Elon Musk said.
‘Doge’s team made a lot of progress to eliminate waste and fraud ‘, He continued, accusing those who received the money that was “devastated” of being behind the “attacks” against Tesla and those who “have to do with me”.
According to the company’s financial director Veibav Tunnel“The negative impact of vandalism and unjustified hostility on our company and our employees had an impact on some markets.”
“Nevertheless, we were able to sell all the stock of old models in the US, China and in some other markets around the world,” he added.
Tesla made the first quarter to adjust its production chains to the latest version of Model Y, a commercially successful SUV that began to marketer in 2020.
The 130 days
On its website, which was last informed on Sunday, Doge reports that its cuts have led to a savings of about $ 160 billion. However, Musk’s estimates of savings have been disputed and Doge has deleted some posts for some of the biggest alleged profits.
At the same time, Tesla lost about $ 600 billion in market capitalization.
Doge has also cut cuts to bodies responsible for supervising its companies. They include SEC, Federal Aviation Administration and the National Motorway Security Administration.
The White House said in early February that Musk served as a “special government official”, a title that applies to anyone who is expected to work for the government for 130 days or less in a year. The Trump government will close its 130th day in late May.
Doge’s job cuts were made in services such as the Internal Revenue Service, the National Parks Service, the Consumer Protection Office and the Departments of Agriculture, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, and Internal Safety and Veteran Cases, according to the Associated Press.
Since February, Doge officials have been removed by senior officials in the Ministry of Education from their offices and arranged furniture according to ministry officials. US senators expressed their concern that Doge had probably gained access to federal student loan data for tens of millions of borrowers.
Also, in February, the Trump government said USAID would close as an independent service and will be subject to the State Department.
