Musk is finally facing the facts after his right-wing advocacy ripped into his companies' reputations and revenue.

Elon Musk spoke with Ars Technica's space editor before SpaceX launched a problem Starship flight. Musk said he's spent "too much time" in politics.

At a celebratory rally after Trump’s inauguration, Musk’s White House career got off to a contentious start when he seemingly offered a straight-arm salute at the Capitol One Arena in Washington, D.C., as he excitedly told the crowd: “My heart goes out to you.”

Elon Musk has grown increasingly vocal with criticism of the Trump administration, saying that a megabill pushed by the White House proposing an overhaul to the tax code risks undermining his efforts to cut government spending.

Trump defends controversial bill, acknowledges political obstacles, and addresses Musk's criticism but highlights support and negotiations.
