Tech billionaire Elon Musk, whose time as a special government employee came to an end on Friday, said in a Sunday interview that he doesn’t want to “take responsibility” for all actions of the Trump administration. In an interview on CBS News’s “Sunday Morning,”
Musk said he disagrees with some moves President Trump has made, though he hesitated to discuss them in more detail, saying that doing so might create “a bone of contention.” “It’s not like I agree with everything the administration does,” Musk said in the interview. “I mean, I agree with much of what the administration does, but we have differences of opinion. You know, there are things that I don’t entirely agree with.”
“But it’s difficult for me to bring that up in an interview because then it creates a bone of contention,” Musk continued. “So then, I’m a little stuck in a bind, where I’m like, ‘Well, I don’t want to, you know, speak up against the administration, but I also don’t want to take responsibility for everything this administration’s doing,’” he added.
Musk made sweeping changes at multiple federal agencies through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) over the last few months. He has said he will continue to advise the president when asked, even though his official role as senior adviser to the president has come to an end.
