Elon Musk’s regulatory troubles? Vanishing fast.
Since Trump returned to the White House, federal agencies that once scrutinized Musk’s empire are being gutted or redirected. At the USDA, Trump fired the official investigating Neuralink. At the CFPB and beyond, Trump and Musk allies are slashing staff weakening regulators that once held Tesla and X accountable.
In recent months, Trump’s DOJ dropped a case against SpaceX. Labor Department canceled a civil rights review of Tesla. And a separate SpaceX case is quietly moving into settlement talks with the NLRB.
Meanwhile, more than 40 other federal investigations into Musk have gone silent with no public updates in months. It’s starting to look less like oversight and more like a cover-up.
