Musk to scale back US gov role as Tesla stumbles

Elon Musk plans to cut back his work with the government efficiency department after Tesla reported weak first-quarter results. The electric car company saw a 20% sales decline compared to last year, with profits falling over 70%. Musk stated he would reduce his time at the Department for Government Efficiency to just one or two days weekly.

Tesla warned investors about potential challenges from changing political dynamics and trade policies. The company's shares have dropped 37% this year, though they slightly rebounded after the earnings report. Musk blamed pushback against his political involvement for some of the company's challenges.

The automaker continues to face stiff competition and supply chain uncertainties. Artificial intelligence remains a potential growth area for Tesla, though investors remain skeptical. Musk continues advocating for lower tariffs and maintains his involvement across multiple business ventures.
