Billionaire Elon Musk will remain a friend and advisor to American President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, even after he leaves his role at the Department of Efficiency in Government, Vance said in an interview with Fox News on Thursday, according to Reuters.
Politico and ABC reported on Wednesday that Trump had told members of his cabinet that Musk will soon be leaving and returning to the private sector, although it was not clear if Musk will leave before his 130-day term as a special government employee expires at the end of May. The American President was asked by the press, aboard Air Force One, about Elon Musk, whose image was affected by Tuesday’s elections for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, in which the conservative judge supported by the businessman lost, according to EFE, cited by Agerpres.”Elon is great. But he also has to run a large number of companies,” Trump said about Musk, who is the head of Tesla and SpaceX and the owner of the social network X.The President noted that, “at some point, Elon will have to leave.” When asked about when this will happen, Trump replied “in a few months”, although he added that he would like Elon Musk to stay “as long as possible”. “DOGE has a lot of work to do and yes, this work will continue even after Elon’s departure. But essentially, Elon will remain a friend and advisor to me and the President,” JD Vance said.
