Musk Departs Trump Administration, But Remains Key Advisor

Elon Musk's departure from the US government has been announced. President Donald Trump, in a White House press conference alongside Musk, praised Musk's work at the Department of Governmental Efficiency (Doge). Trump stated, "He did a fantastic job." Musk, wearing a "The Dogefather" t-shirt, confirmed the Doge's economic success, stating it would reach its promised US$1 billion. Despite leaving his official position, Musk will continue to serve as an advisor to the President. Musk's departure comes just two days before the maximum term limit of 130 days for the position. His role was key to Trump's 2024 election victory. This unexpected move has sparked considerable interest and discussion across the globe.
