Musk will continue as unofficial adviser, administration official says
- On May 30, Elon Musk formally announced his withdrawal from active engagement with the White House during a farewell gathering held in the Oval Office alongside President Donald Trump.
- Musk's diminished involvement came after he voiced strong opposition to the GOP policy bill, which reduces tax incentives for electric and solar energy—key areas for Tesla—and increases the national deficit.
- Despite stepping back, Musk expects to remain an informal adviser and friend to the president, stating he is at the president's service when advice or assistance is needed.
- Musk has said he will spend "a lot less" on politics and focus more on his companies, while Trump expressed that he expects Musk will continue advising and "be back and forth."
- Tesla shareholders welcomed Musk's departure from politics as the company faces critical months ahead, especially amid concerns that ending energy tax credits threatens U.S. Energy independence.
