Elon Musk has long been a supporter of Donald Trump but may be stepping down from his current role in the administration sooner than most people expected.
Donald Trump has told his inner circles, including members of his cabinet that his ‘first bro’ Elon Musk might be stepping away from his duties.
While this might appear to be a response for Trump’s unhappiness with the billionaire tech mogul’s work, this doesn’t seem to be the case.
Trump is reportedly pleased with Musk and his work with Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) over the last few months.
However, both men have agreed that it will soon be time for Musk to return to his many businesses and play more of a supporting role to the president.
In recent weeks, Musk has been facing very public criticism from those invested in his business due to his time having to be split.
Last month, Ross Gerber, one of Tesla’s earliest investors, boldly called on Musk to be replaced as the Tesla CEO and cited him not having enough time dedicated to the company as one of the reasons he was calling for a change.
Speaking on Sky News, Gerber said: “The company’s reputation has just been destroyed by Elon Musk.
“Sales are plummeting so, yeah, it’s a crisis. You literally can’t sell the best product in the market place because the CEO is so divisive.
“It’s time for somebody to run Tesla. The business has been neglected for too long.
