Elon Musk said he plans to cut back on political spending, saying he has \u201cdone enough,\u201d a move that coincides with the billionaire entrepreneur taking a step back from President Donald Trump\u2019s Washington.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the Qatar Economic Forum on Tuesday, the Tesla CEO said he would \u201cdo a lot less\u201d political spending \u201cin the future,\u201d adding: \u201cI think I’ve done enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
Musk brushed aside a question about whether his move was a response to pushback he has received for his prominent role in reshaping the federal government, marked by his leadership of the agency-slashing Department of Government Efficiency.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I see a reason to do political spending in the future, I will do it. I don’t currently see a reason,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Musk, who poured over $290 million of his own money into the 2024 election to support Trump and Republicans, had established himself as a major political force. He also sought to influence statewide elections, including a key Wisconsin Supreme Court race last month.<\/p>\n
