Elon Musk Admits Glaringly Obvious Truth About His Foray Into Politics
HuffPost
Musk is finally facing the facts after his right-wing advocacy ripped into his companies' reputations and revenue.
Elon Musk now says prioritizing politics over his business ventures may have been a minor blunder.
“I think I probably did spend a bit too much time on politics,” Musk admitted to Ars Technica editor Eric Berger in a new interview that aimed to focus on the future of SpaceX in the wake of two recent rocket launches gone awry.
The tech billionaire also told Berger he thought criticism over his right-wing activism was a bit exaggerated.
“It’s less than people would think, because the media is going to over-represent any political stuff,” Musk explained to the aerospace industry reporter and trained astronomer, who has written two books about SpaceX. “It’s not like I left the companies.”
Claiming he’s now striking a better balance between between being a businessman and a diplomatic dilettante, the CEO said, “It was just relative time allocation that probably was a little too high on the government side, and I’ve reduced that significantly in recent weeks.”
