Tesla Executive Director Elon Musk has announced on Tuesday that he will pay attention to the electric vehicle manufacturer But he said he would probably still work in the government, as long as President Trump has it. However, as a special civil servant, Musk had to spend only 130 days a year on government work. After staying about 36 weeks a year, Musk’s total time in the role of SGE can potentially last 126 to 162 days.
Tesla investors have asked Elon Musk to return his focus to the electric vehicle manufacturer and to fulfill his sublime plans for self -governing taxi fleets, humanoid robots and unsupported technology for driving full driving. During a call for profit with analysts on Tuesday, Musk has finally said that he will oblige and sworn to spend a little time for the Ministry of Government Efficiency (DOG) and more time in Tesla, where he is CEO.
“Probably starting next month, in May, the distribution of my time in Doge will drop significantly,” Musk said. “I will have to continue to do it. I think we remain the rest of the president’s term, just to make sure that the waste and fraud we have stopped, do not go back, which it will do, if possible.”
Musk said he would spend “a day or two a week on government issues while the president would like to do it as long as it is useful.”
“But next month, I will allocate much more than my time to Tesla now that the main work is being done to create the Ministry of Government Efficiency,” Musk said.
Tesla’s CEO did not turn to the time of his work as a special civil servant (SGE), which limited him to serve no more than 130 days within a 365-day period. But he will have to be reasonable how he distributes his Trump days in order to remain within the rules. With about 36 weeks of the year, spending one or two days a week can potentially see that Musk spends a total of 126 days to 162 days, given that he has already spent about 90 days as SGE so far.
This designation allows Musk to perform external roles and advice without making public announcements about his finances that would be required for a typical state worker. In addition to Tesla, Musk is also closely engaged in a collection of private companies that he founded, including SpaceX, X, The Boring Company, Neuralink and XAI. Usually, the executive directors and the members of the board of the companies abandon their roles in the private sector before taking on tasks in government positions.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for a comment.
