That&#8217;s included sidelining career officials, gaining access to sensitive databases and inviting a constitutional clash over the limits of presidential authority. <\/p>\n<p>Musk&#8217;s new role gave his comments more weight beyond being the world&#8217;s wealthiest person through his investments in SpaceX and electric carmaker Tesla. <\/p>\n<p>His remarks also offered a more-isolationist view of American power in the Middle East, where the U.S. has fought wars in both Afghanistan and Iraq since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A lot of attention has been on USAID for example,&#8221; Musk said, referring to Mr. Trump&#8217;s <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/usaid-trump-funding-pause-500-million-food-spoilage-risk\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development<\/a><\/span>. &#8220;There&#8217;s like the National Endowment for Democracy.

Well, how much democracy have they achieved lately?'&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>He added that the U.S. under Mr. Trump is &#8220;less interested in interfering with the affairs of other countries.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>There are &#8220;times the United States has been kind of pushy in international affairs, which may resonate with some members of the audience,&#8221; Musk said, speaking to the crowd in the UAE, an autocratically ruled nation of seven sheikhdoms.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Basically, America should mind its own business, rather than push for regime change all over the place,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n<p>He also noted the Trump administration&#8217;s focus on <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/dei-diversity-equity-inclusion-corporate-programs\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">eliminating diversity, equity and inclusion work<\/a><\/span>, at one point linking it to <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/vance-warns-eu-ai-overregulation-paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">AI<\/a><\/span>. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If hypothetically, AI is designed for DEI, you know, diversity at all costs, it could decide that there&#8217;s too many men in power and execute them,&#8221; Musk said. <\/p>\n<p>On AI, Musk said he believed X&#8217;s newly updated AI chatbot, Grok 3, would be ready in about two weeks, calling it at one point &#8220;kind of scary.&#8221; He criticized Sam Altman&#8217;s management of OpenAI, which <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/elon-musk-open-ai-offer-97-billion-sam-altman\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Musk just led a $97.4 billion takeover bid for<\/a><\/span>, describing it as akin to a nonprofit aimed at saving the Amazon rainforest becoming a &#8220;lumber company that chops down the trees.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Musk also announced plans for a &#8220;Dubai Loop&#8221; project in line with his work in <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/elon-musk-boring-company-high-speed-futuristic-la-area-travel-tunnel-almost-ready\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">the Boring Company<\/a><\/span> &#8211; which is digging tunnels in Las Vegas to speed transit. However, he and the Emirati government official speaking with him offered no immediate details of the plan. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s going to be like a wormhole,&#8221; Musk promised. &#8220;You
