Tonight, making caving great again, the new signs that Trump might be caving in the trade war,

as must signal some caving on his Doge mission.

Tonight on Laura Crote's Live.

So you know that cost-cutting chainsaw that Elon Musk loves to wave around?

Something is getting ready to hang it in the shed for a little while, at least, maybe put it in low-power mode.

A large slug of work necessary to get the Vones team in place and working in the government to get the financial house in order is mostly done.

Starting probably in next month, May, my time allocation to Doge will drop significantly.

He made that announcement on a Tesla earnings call. And as for those earnings, well, they are good.

The company's profits plunged by 71% the first three months of the year.

So must will now get back to building cars

and maybe keep Doge as more of a side hustle.

I'll have to continue doing it for,

I think we'll probably the remainder of the president's

term, just to make sure that the waste and fraud

that we stop does not come roaring back.

I'll continue to spend a day or two per week on government matters for as long as the president would like me to do so, and as long as it is useful.

But starting next month, I'll be allocating far more of my time to Tesla.

He also addressed the elephant in the room.

We're talking about President Trump's trade war and his sky-high tariffs hurting Tesla's bottom line.

The tariff decision is entirely up to the President of the United States.

I will weigh in with my advice with the President, which he will listen to my advice,

but then it's up to him, of course, to make his decision.
