On Monday, the Politico website published an analysis under the headline “Why has Elon Musk disappeared from the spotlight?” It found a sharp drop in the number of times that Trump posted about Musk on his Truth Social platform, from an average of four times a week in February and March to zero since the start of April.
In addition, White House officials no longer fill their social media feeds with Musk-related content. Reporters seldom ask about him at the White House press briefing. Members of Congress are giving his name a wide berth.
Musk seems to be taking the hint. This week, the Tesla chief executive confirmed that he had reduced his role as the unofficial head of the so-called “department of government efficiency” (Doge) to just two days a week, and will also cut his political spending substantially – the latest public signal that he is shifting his attention back to his business empire amid growing investor concerns.
They are just trying to hide from the bad press. I have no doubt that Musk has his fingers in all the things just like before, they’re just being quiet because of the backlash.
He’s realizing what all of the other rich people have already realized, its easier to just manipulate things from the background so people won’t get mad at you.
It like this the last time, too.
He is still part of it all, just less present.
Yup, he has still been showing up at the White House, and the states is still pushing Starlink contracts on other countries, and Elon has a bid in for the contract for Trump’s “Golden Dome.” He is still very much around.
they dint expect him do all the doge cuts, msm is barely reporting the fallout of them.
