Elon Musk Says He Overstepped in Politics Amid Business Challenges

Elon Musk acknowledged in an interview with The Economist that his deep involvement in U. S.

politics during the early months of the second Trump administration has taken a personal toll. The admission comes as Tesla grapples with slowing electric‑vehicle sales and SpaceX faces a recent Starship test cancellation due to engine issues.

Analysts suggest that Musk’s retreat from political engagements could help stabilize his companies’ performance.
