Thursday, April 3, 2025 - US President Donald Trump has reportedly told his Cabinet and inner circle that Elon Musk is stepping back from his government role.
This comes after Musk, currently serving as an adviser and a
"special government employee" in President Donald Trump's
administration, confirmed during a Fox News interview with Bret Baier
that he expects to complete DOGE's mission of cutting $1 trillion in federal
spending within the 130-day time frame permitted under federal law.
According to Politico, The Tesla and Space X
founder will soon be returning to the business world.
Musk's designation as a special government employee meant he
was scheduled to step down in May but he's now leaving early amid several
controversies.
It was reported that it was a joint decision
between Trump and Elon, as Trump said he remains happy with
Musk's work with the Department of Government Efficiency.
Musk has become a controversial figure due to his style of
cutting down the federal government. And stock in Tesla has dropped sharply
with sales down and vehicles being set on fire. He also just spent $20 million
on Wisconsin's Supreme Court race only to have his Republican
candidate lose.
