“I think it is likely to start next month, i.e. May, the allocation of my time to Dog will decrease significantly,” Musk said during the collective call to Tesla. “I will have to continue doing this, I think, the remainder of the president’s mandate simply to make sure that the waste and fraud that we have stopped do not wander, which he will do if he has the opportunity. So I think I will continue to spend, as you know, a day or two a week on government matters for the president would like to do so and as long as that is useful.”
