Billionaire Elon Musk has been given a prominent role in the Donald Trump presidential administration as he serves as a special assistant with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). However, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy seems to think that he has neglected his other responsibilities by taking up this role.
Elon Musk, who is also the CEO of multiple multi-billion dollar companies such as X, SpaceX, and Tesla, has been extremely active in performing an “audit” of federal government agencies.
Earlier this week, many federal employees received an email giving them 48 hours to list five things they accomplished at their job the past week, presumably at the directive of Musk.
“Please reply to this email with approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished last week and cc your manager,” the email read.
Dave Portnoy seemed to take exception to this move from Musk, considering his apparent lack of leadership at Tesla, where he currently serves as CEO.
In an interview with Fox News on Friday, Portnoy absolutely blasted Musk for apparently abandoning Tesla to help lead DOGE, calling for Musk to be held responsible for the recent issues at Tesla.
“If you’re going to send emails to federal workers asking ‘What have you done for the last five days?’ I think Tesla shareholders are entitled to ask their CEO – Elon Musk – ‘What have you done for Tesla the last five days?'” Portnoy said.
This is not the first time that Portnoy expressed his displeasure with Musk. In a post on X on Thursday, Portnoy questioned both Donald Trump and Musk for recent events, specifically calling for Musk to return to Tesla as the company’s stock continues to “crash.”
“If I’m gonna be fair these questions needs to be asked today. Why is the release of the Epstein list always a [expletive] show? What’s the point of booting out illegals and criminals while somehow becoming a safe haven for the Tate brothers? Why is Crypto in the toilet if Trump is crypto king? How far does Tsla stock have to crash before Elon goes back to work?” Portnoy wrote in a post on X.
Tesla’s shares are down about 29 percent since the Jan. 20 inauguration. That decline works out to about $400 billion in market value.
