Elon Musk's Plan to Reduce Involvement in DOGE
Elon Musk intends to significantly decrease his role in the government's taskforce DOGE, focusing more on Tesla starting in May. This decision comes after concerns were raised about the impact of his government work on Tesla's performance.
Tesla's Financial Performance
In the first quarter of this year, Tesla reported a 71% decrease in profit compared to the same period last year. Analysts have been warning for months that Musk's involvement in DOGE is negatively affecting the Tesla brand.
