Elon Musk Distances Himself From Trump: ‘I Don’t Want to Take Responsibility’

As political pressure mounts and 2024 campaign energy escalates, Elon Musk is drawing a sharper line between himself and former President Donald Trump.

In a recent conversation during a private tech and finance event in California, Musk reportedly remarked, “I don’t want to take responsibility for everything,” when asked about his rumored influence over Trump’s political strategies. While Musk has previously met with Trump and occasionally aligned with some of his policies, the SpaceX and Tesla CEO made it clear that he is not part of any official inner circle for the 2024 campaign.

The comment comes amid renewed scrutiny over how influential tech billionaires may shape the U.S. election—intentionally or not.

Pulling away from politics, not power

Musk’s distancing isn’t exactly a retreat from politics. He still uses his X (formerly Twitter) platform to opine on policy, freedom of speech, and global issues. But sources close to Musk say he’s increasingly wary of being seen as Trump’s de facto tech advisor or proxy.

One person familiar with Musk’s thinking said, “He’s happy to be in the room, but he doesn’t want to be the headline.”

This marks a notable shift. In 2022, Musk publicly reinstated Trump’s X account and criticized Democrats for ignoring the interests of entrepreneurs and free thinkers. But as Trump’s campaign rhetoric grows more unpredictable, Musk appears to be safeguarding his image and business empire from political blowback.

Financial ties still run deep

Despite his verbal distancing, Musk’s companies still have financial incentives tied to U.S. politics. Tesla relies heavily on energy credits and regulatory policies. SpaceX has multiple federal defense and aerospace contracts. And X, once a chaotic free-speech platform, is being repositioned as a utility for news, finance, and commerce—areas highly influenced by policy shifts.

Analysts say this makes Musk’s balancing act especially delicate.

“He’s trying to stay adjacent to power without being swallowed by it,” said one political strategist. “That’s a hard thing to pull off in today’s media landscape.”

Why it matters for 2024

Musk’s comments land at a moment when tech leaders are being eyed for their role in shaping public opinion, especially among younger, more digitally native voters. While Musk has previously floated support for independent or libertarian candidates, he’s stopped short of endorsing anyone outright.

The question now is whether this move away from Trump signals a broader detachment from partisan politics—or just a recalibration of how Musk wields his influence.

As seen in Millionaire MNL, it’s not unusual for billionaire founders to toggle between proximity and plausible deniability when it comes to political power. What’s different with Musk is how visible—and consequential—that toggle can be.
