Musk’s involvement in the so-called Department of Government Efficiency – where he has led efforts to cut federal jobs – has become a political lightning rod, fuelling unrelenting protests and vandalism at Tesla showrooms.

“The large slog of work necessary to get the DOGE team in place and working with the government to get the financial house in order is mostly done,” Musk told analysts on a conference call. But he said he still intended to spend about 40 per cent of his time on DOGE.
Tariff tensions add further uncertainty. Tesla has paused some China-sourced component imports after US tariffs on the Asian country rose to 145 per cent, Reuters reported. China has responded with tariffs of its own, leading Tesla to suspend new Model S and Model X orders in the country.
His time away from DOGE will be split between money-maker Tesla and his other companies which include SpaceX, xAI and Neuralink.
Musk said he expected millions of Teslas operating fully autonomously by the second half of next year.
