But four months later, the tech tycoon confirmed he would step down from his role after criticizing Trump for the first time since his arrival at the White House.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-6 ai-optimize-introduction\">Musk swapped his signature \u201cMake America Great Again\u201d cap for a T-shirt reading \u201cOccupy Mars,\u201d referencing SpaceX\u2019s mission to colonize the Red Planet. He began appearing in the media more frequently\u2014after long avoiding the spotlight\u2014to emphasize his renewed focus on his companies SpaceX and Tesla. On his social platform X, Musk announced he was once again spending \u201c24 hours working\u201d and sleeping in his factories and server rooms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-8\" data-start=\"1632\" data-end=\"1994\">This marks Musk\u2019s first steps away from Washington, returning to his role as a tech and business titan. However, the return is not without its challenges. Months of supporting Trump\u2019s re-election campaign and dismantling parts of the federal government raised concerns that Musk had become an absentee leader at his companies\u2014including SpaceX, Tesla, xAI, and X.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14705\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14705\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14705 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/musk-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Elon Musk leaves his advisory role to Donald Trump to refocus on Tesla, SpaceX, and AI ventures after criticism and business setbacks.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/musk-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/musk-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/musk-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/musk-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/musk.jpg 1155w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14705\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Trump administration leaks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-9\" data-start=\"1996\" data-end=\"2431\">It remains unclear how much time Musk will now spend at his companies or away from politics. At a press conference in the Oval Office with Trump last Friday, Musk described his departure as \u201cnot the end of a CEO era, but the true beginning,\u201d adding that he would continue to visit and \u201cremain a friend and advisor to the president.\u201d Trump echoed this sentiment, saying Musk \u201cisn\u2019t leaving\u2014he\u2019ll be with us and helping us all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-10\" data-start=\"2433\" data-end=\"2858\">Tesla appears most at risk, with Musk\u2019s popularity at the company sharply declining after he pushed for government job cuts. Tesla dealerships have become protest targets amid falling sales and profits. A proposed Republican budget bill currently in the Senate would eliminate subsidies and policies promoting electric vehicles. Tesla shares are down roughly 14% this year, wiping out around $180 billion in market value.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-11\" data-start=\"2860\" data-end=\"3204\">Still, some of Musk\u2019s companies benefited from his ties to the White House: Trump has promoted Tesla vehicles, and SpaceX has expanded government partnerships through its satellite internet service Starlink. X remains a platform for Musk and Trump supporters. Trump, a politically powerful ally, oversees agencies that regulate Musk\u2019s ventures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-12\" data-start=\"3206\" data-end=\"3559\">But The New York Times noted Monday that Musk is the public face of his companies, and his prolonged Washington presence has sparked questions about his commitment to their operations. Former SpaceX and other employees have questioned his absence. Broadly, it remains unclear whether the billionaire\u2019s political maneuvers will yield long-term gains.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-13\" data-start=\"3561\" data-end=\"3945\">At SpaceX, Musk\u2019s absence in recent months has been particularly noticeable. In May, a former mechanic, Dylan Small, wrote on X that \u201cmorale is low\u201d and employees are \u201cexhausted.\u201d He added: \u201cYour presence energized the team. Come back and join the work.\u201d In a message to The New York Times, Small said the company was largely fueled by inspiration, with Musk playing a major role.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12871\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12871\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12871 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/sharaa0-1.jpg\" alt=\"Still, some of Musk\u2019s companies benefited from his ties to the White House: Trump has promoted Tesla vehicles, and SpaceX has expanded government partnerships through its satellite internet service Starlink.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/sharaa0-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/sharaa0-1-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/sharaa0-1-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12871\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Musk Trump relation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-14\" data-start=\"3947\" data-end=\"4594\">According to the Times, Musk has posted about 1,000 times on SpaceX since Trump took office\u2014but around 2,000 posts about government efficiency, his advisory focus. During that time, SpaceX conducted two test launches of its Starship rocket, which Musk hopes will carry humans to Mars\u2014one just last Tuesday. In an interview with The Washington Post, a publication he previously avoided, Musk affirmed he was \u201cpresent\u201d for the Starship trial launch from the company\u2019s Starbase facility in South Texas. The launch ended in an explosion, but Musk made a point to appear in control room videos and share influencer interviews discussing space travel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-15\" data-start=\"4596\" data-end=\"5019\">At Tesla, Musk\u2019s absence was also evident by April. According to the Times, he rarely visited offices or factories since Trump\u2019s inauguration. He did, however, appear at the Palo Alto office shortly before an earnings call. During that visit, Musk asked about the impact of Trump\u2019s new tariffs on Tesla. Attendees were concerned by the timing of his inquiry\u2014Trump announced the tariffs two months earlier in February.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-16\" data-start=\"5021\" data-end=\"5473\">Shortly after that visit, Tesla reported a 13% drop in first-quarter vehicle sales year-over-year\u2014the worst in four years. New tariffs on imported auto parts added financial strain. Matthew Labrot, a former Tesla sales employee in California who was fired after launching a website critical of Musk, told the Times that Musk\u2019s politics had alienated customers: \u201cSelling the car became a daily grind\u2014it never used to be. Elon Musk is the main reason.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-17\" data-start=\"5475\" data-end=\"5741\">Two informed sources also told the paper that Tesla executives have recently expressed concerns about Musk\u2019s lack of involvement in daily operations, noting he increasingly joins meetings remotely compared to his earlier, more hands-on role as head of Tesla Energy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-18\" data-start=\"5743\" data-end=\"6079\">Tesla, facing stiff competition from Chinese EV companies like BYD, has tried to diversify into AI and robotics. Musk revealed the company will launch a fully autonomous ride-hailing service this month in Austin, Texas. It also aims to begin manufacturing a lower-cost vehicle\u2014though it&#8217;s unclear how it will differ from current models.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-19\" data-start=\"6081\" data-end=\"6483\">In AI, Musk has heavily promoted xAI and its chatbot \u201cGrok,\u201d while continuing legal battles with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. In March, he sold X to xAI, merging the two companies. Last month, the merged firm launched a stock buyback program, allowing employees to sell shares for cash at a predetermined rate. Internal documents reviewed by the Times valued the merged company at roughly $113 billion.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12850\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12850\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12850 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/elon-musk-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Elon Musk \" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/elon-musk-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/elon-musk-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/elon-musk-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/elon-musk-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/elon-musk.jpg 1155w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12850\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In AI, Musk has heavily promoted xAI and its chatbot \u201cGrok,\u201d while continuing legal battles with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
