The night before Elon Musk filed paperwork to reincorporate SpaceX in Texas, he called Gov. Greg Abbott. It was Valentine’s Day, Abbott told a crowd of law students on Thursday in Austin, and the Texas Republican was at dinner with his wife.

Amid Tesla's ongoing stock price decline, SpaceX has overtaken the electric vehicle maker as Elon Musk's most valuable asset. Tesla's stock took a significant hit following Musk's increasing involvement with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) during Donald Trump's administration.

Deliveries of Elon Musk's Tesla vehicles dropped about 13% compared to a year ago, according to a new release from the company. The decline comes amid criticism of Musk and increased competition.

Elon Musk said he will leave when his work with DOGE is done. Could he resign from DOGE soon? And how would DOGE stimulus checks be impacted?

JD Vance has dismissed reports Elon Musk is being sidelined by Donald Trump. The vice president said Mr Musk will “remain a friend and advisor to me and the president” even after his 130 days as a “special government employee” are up.

In the coming weeks, Musk will begin dialing back his role in Washington. Trump has told his inner circle and members of his Cabinet that both men have agreed he’ll be transitioning out of the administration and his polarizing role atop the DOGE initiative and stepping into a more supportive role.

President Donald Trump gave billionaire adviser Elon Musk a fresh endorsement on Thursday amid criticism of Musk's government reduction project and said he can stay "as long as he likes" but will eventually return to his businesses.

A top employee of billionaire Elon Musk who is now working in the U.S. Justice Department previously bragged about hacking and distributing pirated software, according to archived copies of his former websites reviewed by Reuters.

Elon Musk is expected to step down from his government role in Trump's DOGE initiative amid rising political backlash and internal frustrations, though he will likely remain an influential adviser.
