Benzinga

Mentions of Elon Musk by President Donald Trump and his administration have dropped sharply, with no public references in over a month, according to POLITICO. Once regularly praised for leading the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk has taken a step back from public political roles to refocus on Tesla. Trump has ceased all mentions of himself on Truth Social since early April, despite previously referencing him frequently. POLITICO suggests Musk’s declining popularity may help the GOP politically, especially after his role in a failed Wisconsin judicial race and amid ongoing policy debates. Elon Musk stepped back from his White House and DOGE roles to focus on Tesla after a 71% drop in quarterly profits and vandalism incidents.
