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.

    He’s still there he’s still involved he still has influence. They’re just trying to hide him more. All his people are still working on his behalf to destroy the government. They’re still giving him massive government contracts. They’re still taking his direct instructions on foreign policy, we saw that the South African conference. They’re still destroying Regulatory Agencies that might have a limited his malfeasance. Don’t fall for it.
