Elon Musk’s recent interview with CBS Sunday Morning got off to a bit of an awkward start when reporter David Pogue asked him about his thoughts on Donald Trump’s policies. Musk quickly redirected the conversation back to spaceships, making it clear that he preferred to steer clear of discussing presidential policy.
Tech and VC heavyweights have joined the Disrupt 2025 agenda, bringing even more excitement to the event.
During the interview, Musk also touched on the controversy surrounding his Department of Government Efficiency, jokingly referring to it as the “whipping boy for everything.” Despite the challenges, Musk remains focused on his various businesses, which he sees as contributing to the improvement of civilization’s trajectory.
As the interview came to a close, Musk hinted at stepping back from his government work to focus more on his companies. However, a clip of him criticizing a Trump-backed budget bill caused a stir in the news cycle, leading to conflicting reports about his government involvement. In the end, Musk’s commitment to his businesses remains unwavering, with plans to continue his work with a particular focus on advancing technology and innovation.
