Summary
Elon Musk announced he will significantly reduce his involvement with the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency, shifting back to Tesla. Despite a 71% profit drop and a 9% revenue decrease in Q1 2025, Tesla shares soared by 6%, buoyed by easing trade tensions and Musk’s renewed focus on the company. Musk described DOGE's work as nearly complete and reassured investors he would oversee the initiative until the end of Trump's term. Tesla aims to launch robotaxi services in Austin by June and develop advanced humanoid robots, despite facing significant challenges and criticism over Musk's political role.
