Trump Responds to Musk's End of Term as Secretary of Efficiency Department: I Will Try to Make Him Stay

BlockBeats News, April 1st, according to The Capitol Hill Report, Musk, as CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is a special government employee, meaning he can only work at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for 130 days. U.S. President Trump commented on this, saying he expects Musk to eventually return to running his own companies after completing federal government reform work, but he will try to retain Musk as much as possible. "I think he's outstanding, but he also has a big company to run. At some point, he will go back. He wants to go back. I will try to make him stay. He's a very talented person."

Musk had stated on March 27th in an interview with Fox News that he believes he can achieve the goal of cutting $1 trillion in government spending within the "specified timeframe," i.e., by the end of May before stepping down.
