Elon Musk expressed readiness to depart from the White House.
Elon Musk Expected to Part Ways with White House Amid Controversy
In a surprising turn of events, it seems that Elon Musk, the renowned entrepreneur, might be leaving his role in the White House due to what appears to be a barrage of negative and unethical attacks from the left.
Despite the looming departure, Musk remains unfazed about his work with DOGE - the Department of Government Effectiveness. According to an anonymous White House employee, the department has achieved "extraordinary results" since its inception under President Donald Trump.
Created to reduce wasteful spending and restructure federal agencies, DOGE has revealed shocking expenditures that were not authorized by Congress, as per a statement made by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Democratic members of the House have expressed concern over Musk's continued involvement, even after the 130-day mandate. They've petitioned Trump to remove him from his duties and stated that Musk won't be allowed to return within a year without relinquishing control of his companies, including Tesla and SpaceX.
As reported by Axios, Musk's tenure as a special government employee ends this May, and it remains unclear whether his term will be extended.
Following Trump's statement at the end of March that Musk will depart the White House soon and return to his businesses, speculation about an informal advisory role has circulated. However, official confirmation of such a role is yet to be obtained. The reports suggest that there's a strong possibility that Trump and Musk will maintain their relationship beyond the formal role.
