"I'll have to continue doing it for I think the remainder of the President's term just to make sure the waste and fraud that we stopped does not come roaring back, which it will do if it has the chance," Musk said.

"I think 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 would be useful," he added.

Musk also acknowledged "some blowback" on Tesla due to his Trump ties, saying there's been "a few bumps in the road," but said the company's future is still bright.

"I encourage people to look beyond the bumps and potholes of the road immediately ahead of us," he said. "Lift your gaze to the bright shining citadel on the hill — I don't know, some Reagan-esque imagery — and that's where we're headed."
