Elon Musk to Continue Role as Advisor to Trump Administration After Leaving Government Position
U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance states Musk will maintain advisory position as media reports suggest his forthcoming departure.
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is expected to continue as an "advisor" to both U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance, despite reports suggesting that he may step down from his position leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Vance made these comments during an interview, affirming that DOGE will continue its operations after Musk's departure.
Media outlets have indicated that President Trump has conveyed to cabinet members that Musk may be leaving the administration to return to the private sector, although the timing of this departure remains uncertain.
According to reports, Musk's term as a special government employee is set for a duration of 130 days, with its conclusion expected before May. Trump's administration has described Musk's contributions as valuable, but recent discussions suggest a mutual agreement that it might soon be time for Musk to transition back to his business endeavors.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to reports of Musk's departure, calling them "nonsense" and asserting that Musk would complete his responsibilities at DOGE before leaving.
During a press conference, Trump acknowledged Musk's capabilities, stating he is aware Musk has a significant business to oversee and that he anticipates Musk's eventual return to the private sector.
DOGE has been at the center of controversy since its establishment, with criticism focusing on its aggressive actions, including the dismissal of tens of thousands of government employees and the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), a significant player in international humanitarian aid efforts.
