Tesla Board is Sending Musk Back Home

Tesla shareholders have had enough of Elon Musk and are demanding he leave US politics - at least publicly. Thanks to the monstrous decline in Tesla profits, Elon Musk is finally ready to say when he will step back from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and return to his "super important CEO job".

Tesla’s profits fell 71 percent in the first three months of 2025, mostly thanks to Musk's extremely public stint destroying the US government, ruining the lives of thousands of federal workers, cutting social security checks to mee-maw.... oh, and instigating the deaths of millions worldwide that depend on USAID.

Tesla has revealed that it earned $409 million in the first quarter, down from $1.4 billion in the same period of 2024. Speculation and rumors have raged for weeks about when the billionaire would return to Tesla full-time, given that he is classified as a “special government employee” and is not supposed to exceed 130 total days of government work this year.

He told investors Tuesday on an earnings call that he would limit his work for DOGE to only a day or two a week starting next month, stating, “Starting next month, May, my time allocation to DOGE will drop significantly.”

Still, he defended the job DOGE has done callously cutting government spending, which he characterized as “waste and fraud.” Waste and fraud being live saving social security that people paid into their entire lives to receive when they're elderly, life sacving medicine for people worldwide, and paychecks for hard working federal agents who just want to feed their families.

“There’s been some blowback for the time that I’ve been spending in government with DOGE. I think the work that we’re doing there is actually very important for trying to bring in the insane deficit that is being a country, United States to destruction,” he added, ignoring the fact that taxing him and ALL billionaires would solve every deficit problem for the rest of time.

Trump and Musk have worked together to slash the federal government.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk and President Donald Trump turned the White House into a Tesla showroom last month, but somehow that sleazy stunt wasn't enough to keep Tesla’s profits as high as in previous years.

Despite their vehicles locking passengers inside to die a fiery death upon collision, Tesla is still the world’s most valuable automaker when measured by stock price, but its sales have lagged in 2025 as Musk, the face of the company, has become one of the most divisive figures in American politics—spending his days pretending to be a gamer and using slurs to attack critics on Twitter.

The Washington Post reported that if Tesla did not include $595 million it received in automotive regulatory credits, which other manufacturers buy from Tesla to comply with emissions requirements, Tesla would have posted a loss in the quarter.

Tesla sales peaked at 1.8 million vehicles sold in 2023. Last year, sales dipped to 1.7 million, and its global sales fell another 13 percent in the first quarter of 2025 from a year earlier.

Among Tesla’s most significant losers is the giant insecurity beacon, the Cybertruck. The Cybertruck, aka the Swasticar, has been a “flop” since launch. And now, with sales down 50 percent from the final quarter of 2024 it seems only downhill from here. The uninsurable monstrosity retails at $70,000 and ate up much of the manufacturer’s resources while being developed.

There were some early signs that sales were lagging before Tuesday’s earnings report, as Tesla has recently offered discounts as high as $8,500 on its website. Tesla's are also flooding the used car markets as people are tired of being cut off, flicked off and, and looked down on for driving the only car sponsored by fascism. The high availability of used Teslas have also tanked their former prestigious façade.

Tesla previously said it planned to introduce an affordable electric vehicle this summer to widen its customer base and bolster its sales figures. The Times reports that such a rollout now appears “increasingly unlikely,” due to an overwhelming amount of unsold inventory.

Musk, a chronically online reply guy, did not immediately address the Tesla earnings call beyond retweeting a post that said the manufacturer had doubled its energy storage products in the last year.
