Elon Musk acknowledged in an interview with The Economist that he became too absorbed in politics during his collaboration with Donald Trump, when he led the 'Department of Government Efficiency' (Doge).

Musk stated that his political involvement had a significant impact, including a financial support of 200 million dollars for Trump. Although he admitted that his approach was only partially successful, he seems to enjoy the influence he wields.
