Elon Musk told Tesla shareholders he’s stepping back from government work.
With his current special government employee (SGE) status, regulations state that he’s only allowed 130 consecutive days.
Though he says the heavy lifting for President Trump’s cost-cutting is done.
Starting in May, he’ll shift away from DOGE to focus back to Tesla.
Then maybe the liberals will stop attacking his cars?
Someone really needs to let them know about all the cameras on them.

New York Post reports:
Department of Government Efficiency chief Elon Musk told Tesla shareholders on Tuesday that he’s planning to dramatically cut back on his work for the Trump administration next month.
“Starting next month, I will be allocating far more of my time to Tesla,” the electric car company CEO said on Tesla earnings call, according to Business Insider.
Musk noted that “the major work of establishing” DOGE has been completed and that his “time allocation” to President Trump’s government cost-cutting initiative “will drop significantly” come May.
The billionaire tech tycoon, 53, indicated he’s interested in continuing to spend a day or two a week on government matters, “as long as it is useful,” and Trump is amenable to the idea.
Musk was already widely expected to leave his post as the unofficial head of DOGE at the end of May, when his special government employee (SGE) status expires.
Per federal regulations, SGEs can only work in government for 130 consecutive days — pegging May 30 as the Tesla, SpaceX and Starlink CEO’s last day as DOGE chief.
Earlier this month, Trump told reporters that he wants Musk to be a part of his administration for “as long as possible” but acknowledged that the world’s richest man may want to spend more time on his business endeavors.
Grok chimes in:
Yes, it seems likely Elon Musk is stepping back from his role as a special government employee leading DOGE. Reports indicate he will step down on May 30, 2025, at the end of his 130-day term, which started January 20, 2025. While there were conflicting reports in early April…

If only DOGE would stop exposing fraud, then maybe these liberals would be happy:
