"However, Musk, back in Trump's good graces, stands to get some assistance for Tesla from the White House moving forward, especially as he and the President are back to being friends and allies. Reduced Scrutiny from a Regulatory Standpoint Tesla has been the subject of several National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) probes, including ones that dive into Autopilot and Full Self-Driving and incidents involving the two. Trump has already initiated a more relaxed environment for autonomous vehicle oversight."
"Last January, he proposed a voluntary framework system for self-driving vehicles, which reduced barriers for companies involved with autonomy. In April, he relaxed crash reporting and exemptions for autonomous vehicles, creating a clearer pathway for companies to innovate and easing compliance burdens. In September, Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy led efforts to update FMVSS, eliminating redundant human-driver requirements"
"He's 80% super genius and 20% he makes mistakes, but he's a good guy. He's a well-meaning person."
Elon Musk and President Donald Trump reconciled publicly, meeting at Mar-a-Lago and appearing together at a press conference where Trump praised Musk. Musk previously led the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and later stepped back to focus on Tesla and SpaceX. The renewed relationship positions Tesla to receive assistance from the White House. The administration has moved to relax autonomous-vehicle oversight through a voluntary framework, relaxed crash reporting rules, granted exemptions, and guided FMVSS updates. Tesla continues to face NHTSA probes into Autopilot and Full Self-Driving and remains subject to safety and incident investigations.
