Elon Musk and Governor of Delaware, Matt Meyer, clashed over Musk’s actions as head of the Department of Government Efficiency. Meyer criticized Musk’s cuts to federal agencies, leading Musk to accuse Meyer of “destroying” Delaware. This comes after Musk’s failed attempt to award himself $56 billion in Tesla shares, prompting him to move Tesla’s incorporation to Texas.
Meyer has been working to keep businesses in Delaware, even reaching out to companies that have already left in hopes of bringing them back. Musk, who previously praised Meyer for being pro-business, has struggled to balance his roles in the federal government and as Tesla’s CEO.
President Trump has shown support for Musk by saying he would buy a Tesla and classifying violence against Tesla dealerships as domestic terrorism. Musk has been navigating challenges in the stock market and public perception, but remains in his roles with both DOGE and Tesla.
The tensions between Musk and Meyer highlight the complexities of a billionaire serving as a senior adviser to the president while maintaining corporate executive roles. It remains to be seen how this ongoing conflict will impact Delaware’s business landscape and Musk’s standing within the federal government.
