Politico fueling speculation about Musk's role in the Trump administration, despite his long scheduled exit, publishing a headline reading, Trump tells inner circle that Musk will leave soon.
The article describing Mr. Musk stepping back as a recent decision, Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt responding to the claims on X, writing, quote, This scoop is garbage. Elon Musk and President Trump have both publicly stated that Elon will depart from public service as a special government employee when his incredible work at Doge is complete. Elon Musk responding to the post, quote, Yeah, fake news. The article coming on the heels of a high-profile election loss in Wisconsin for the Republicans. Mr. Musk and his affiliated groups reportedly contributing more than $20 million in an attempt to flip the state Supreme Court there conservative, ultimately losing by 10 points. On Wednesday, media reveling in the loss and blaming Elon.
What a massive loss it was for Elon Musk. Wisconsin clearly said we are not for sale. If you are a Republican candidate running in a swing state, you don't want Elon Musk anywhere near you. Yes, maybe you like the money, but you do not want his presence in your state. You know what Donald Trump likes? Winners. And you know what Elon Musk was on Tuesday night? A loser.
Political describing Mr. Musk's plans to go as a recent decision by President Trump. However, Mr. Musk's status as a special government employee has a 130-day term limit. Reporting that indicates Mr. Musk will be stepping back in the next few weeks supports the timeline of that 130 days, which would expire on May 30th. Last Thursday, Fox News asking Elon about this very thing.
You technically are a special government employee and you're supposed to be 130 days. Are you going to continue past that or do you think that's what you're going to do? Well, I think we will have accomplished most of the work required to reduce the deficit by a trillion dollars within that time frame.
Is Elon Musk's departure from the Trump administration significant?
So in that time frame, 130 days. And the process is a report at some point, 100 days? Not really a report. We are cutting the waste and fraud in real time. So every day that passes, our goal is to reduce the waste and fraud by $4 billion a day, every day, seven days a week. And so far, we are succeeding.
The Doge website says it has cut $140 billion in contracts and grants so far. Earlier this week, President Trump offering public support for Mr. Musk.
