Elon Musk, here in the Oval Office on May 21, admitted he may have spent "too much time on politics" in a new interview with Ars Technica.

Elon Musk now says prioritising politics over his business ventures may have been a minor blunder.

“I think I probably did spend a bit too much time on politics,” Musk admitted to Ars Technica editor Eric Berger in a new interview that aimed to focus on the future of SpaceX in the wake of two recent rocket launches gone awry.

The tech billionaire also told Berger he thought criticism over his right-wing activism was a bit exaggerated.

“It’s less than people would think, because the media is going to over-represent any political stuff,” Musk explained to the aerospace industry reporter and trained astronomer, who has written two books about SpaceX. “It’s not like I left the companies.”
