US President Donald Trump has reportedly told the close circle that Elon Musk will withdraw from the current role within the administration.
Musk is working as head of the Government Efficiency Department (DOGE). He has received criticism over efforts to reduce the US federal government, completely dismantled agencies and firing tens of thousands of employees.
By PolyticoThe billionaire and owner of Tesla and SpaceX will soon withdraw from this role and return to his business.
Musk currently has special status as a “special government employee”, which temporarily excludes him from certain ethical rules and conflicts of interest. This 130-day deadline is expected to expire in late May or early June, Telegrafi reports Periscope.
A senior administration official told Politico that Musk will likely retain a informal role as adviser and continue to appear occasionally in the White House environments.
Trump hinted Monday that Musk would have to return to business “at a certain moment”.
I think it's great, but I also think there's a big company to run and so, at some point, it's going to be back”, Trump said and added that “ai wants to do it. I'd keep it as long as I could hold it”.
