By law, Musk’s status as a temporary government official was set to run out as soon as May 30, although the exact date was subject to an accounting of his actual days worked.
Billionaire Elon Musk said Wednesday that his time as formal adviser to US President Donald Trump is coming to a close, raising questions about the future of the Department of Government Efficiency effort he spearheaded.
“As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending,” Musk posted on X, formerly Twitter, his social media platform. “The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.”
