Musk Calls His Trump Ties an Overstep in Economist Interview

Elon Musk told The Economist he "got carried away" over Trump. Musk spent $200 million on Trump's 2024 campaign and led Doge — the cost-cutting initiative that delivered $150 billion against a $2 trillion pledge — before departing in May 2026. The remarks read as recalibration, not disavowal.
