Elon Musk is set to leave his government role in the coming months, with his tenure as a special government employee expected to end by May 30. President Trump praised Musk’s contributions, confirming his eventual return to the private sector amid ongoing federal downsizing efforts.
Donald Trump has informed his cabinet that Elon Musk will step down from his government role in the coming months.
White House official told NBC News that the president discussed Musk’s transition back to the private sector during a cabinet meeting on March 24, where he praised Musk as a "patriot" and noted that "he has never asked me for a thing."
The White House previously stated that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a temporary agency, would be dissolved on July 4 next year.
On Monday, Trump confirmed Musk would eventually return to his businesses, with his 130-day tenure as a special government employee set to end on May 30—though his exact departure date remains unclear.
Musk recently revealed that some DOGE team members receive daily death threats amid backlash over his aggressive downsizing of the federal government, which has resulted in the dismantling of agencies and the loss of tens of thousands of federal jobs.
