President Donald Trump bid farewell to Elon Musk in the Oval Office on Friday, bringing to a cordial conclusion a tumultuous tenure for the billionaire entrepreneur.
Musk is stepping down as head of the Department of Government Efficiency and will return to running his businesses, including electric car maker Tesla, rocket company SpaceX and social media platform X.
“My time as a special government employee necessarily had to come to an end. It was a limited-term contract, 134 days, I believe, which ends in a few days. So, you know, there’s a time limit. But the Doge’s team will only get stronger with time. The Doge’s influence will only grow stronger. We compare it to a kind of Buddhism. It’s like a way of life. So it permeates the whole government, and I’m sure over time we’ll see a trillion dollars of savings and reduction, a trillion dollars of waste and bad reduction,” said Elon Musk.
Trump credited Musk with bringing about a colossal change in the old ways of doing business in Washington and said some of his aides would remain in the administration.
Mr. Musk, dressed in black and wearing a T-shirt that read The Dogefather, nodded as the president listed the contracts that had been cut under his tenure.
