Too many open fronts

One of Errol Musk’s main fears before Donald Trump took possession of his position and Elon Musk will begin to apply their cuts It was precisely the Herculean task that Doge (Government Efficiency Department) was going to face.

Errol feared that this participation in the administration optimization Trump will take away his son from a no less titanic work of directing companies as powerful as Space X, Tesla, X or Neuralink, referring to it as a “a big problem.”

Elon Musk’s father assured that the life of the millionaire It was already too busy and full of constant decisions As if Trump has sitting “in an office somewhere in Washington, you know, waiting and without doing anything.
