Elon Musk’s Transition Away from Washington

On a recent episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” host Jimmy Kimmel discussed Elon Musk’s announcement regarding reducing his governmental engagements to concentrate more on his role at Tesla. This shift, according to Musk, allows him to devote his attention back to the electric vehicle manufacturer.

Kimmel humorously referred to Musk as “Mr. Congeniality” and suggested that the billionaire appeared to be “getting out of DOGE,” likely alluding to Musk’s previous involvement in the cryptocurrency market.

“Musk says he will dial back his work with the government so that he can spend more time with all 10 of his families.” — Jimmy Kimmel

Kimmel also shared some critical observations about Musk’s focus on Tesla amidst the company’s declining profits, which fell by 71% in the early part of the year. Kimmel quipped about Musk’s public persona, comparing him to a “white Kanye,” and questioned the impact of his return on Tesla’s current challenges.

“People forget, Elon — he can’t spend all his time in Washington. He has a company to run into the ground.” — Jimmy Kimmel

“I’m really not sure going back to Tesla is going to help anything at all. The reason Tesla is tanking is because people hate him and they don’t want to buy his stuff. Him being back is not going to make it better.” — Jimmy Kimmel
