In a surprising announcement, President Donald Trump stated that Elon Musk is expected to leave his administration shortly, marking the end of a significant advisory role in Washington. Musk's leadership at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been integral to Trump's government downsizing efforts.
This development follows a series of events indicating a potential end to Musk's tenure, including electoral setbacks and declining sales at Tesla, his electric vehicle company. Although DOGE was slated to operate until 2026, restructuring seems to be accelerating, with Musk's allies redeployed across federal agencies.
Despite setbacks, Musk's impact on Trump's administration remains profound. However, as DOGE's original timeline appears shortened, it ushers in a new phase for Trump's government overhaul, with remaining efforts transitioning to other federal leaders.
