SWP+SWP+Rückzug des Tesla-Chefs

(FILES) Tesla and SPaceX CEO Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump shake hands as they attend the men's NCAA wrestling competition at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on March 22, 2025. Musk's rise as President Donald Trump's all-powerful wingman was as rapid and unstoppable as one of his SpaceX rockets. But reports April 2, 2025 are fueling speculation that the billionaire's political career may be coming back to Earth. Politico and ABC News quoted unnamed sources saying Musk could step away from an unprecedented role in which he is spearheading brutal cuts to US government services and has emerged only second to Trump as the face of the administration.
