Elon Musk concluded his advisory role in President Trump's administration with a press conference, emphasizing his ongoing support and friendship. Trump expressed that Musk would continue to be involved, referring to the Department of Government Efficiency as Musk's "baby." Over the past 130 days, Musk aimed to drive efficiency to cut the federal budget by $1 trillion but faced significant challenges, leading to lawsuits and his declining public image. Concerns arose regarding his focus on business amid his governmental involvement, particularly with Tesla's struggles.
When asked about his future role in government, Musk deferred to the president. "I expect to continue to provide advice whenever the president would like advice," he said.
The conference marked the end of one of the most turbulent governmental periods in history. For the past 130 days, Musk took a spot as one of Trump's most visible employees.
