Billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk is leaving the Trump administration after leading a tumultuous efficiency drive during which he upended several federal agencies but failed to deliver the generational savings he had sought.
A White House official told Reuters on Wednesday night that it was accurate Musk is leaving the administration and his "off-boarding will begin tonight.”
His departure was quick and unceremonious. He did not have a formal conversation with Trump before announcing his departure, according to a source with knowledge of the matter, who added that his exit was decided “at a senior staff level.”
The damage is long done.
Also remember, you can only be a special government employee for 130 days a year. Just wait till 2026.
After all the laws Trump has broken, you think that’s the line he won’t cross?
Not one bit. Just funny that today is 130 days from Jan 20. And this is happening now.
They’re just saving face. If Trump wanted Musk around, he would stick around. Whether that’s in DOGE or some other part of government.
