CEO to pare back White House work to one to two days weekly as analysts say role has caused branding crisis

Musk’s remarks came as the company reported a massive dip in both profits and revenues in the first quarter of 2025 amid backlash against his role in the White House.
On an investor call, Musk said the work necessary to get the government’s “financial house in order is mostly done”.
