Summary
Elon Musk denied reports that he plans to step down from his role as a special government employee, calling them “fake news.”
The White House and Musk both rejected claims he would leave at the end of his 130-day term on May 30.
DOGE has faced backlash for rapidly dismantling federal agencies and cutting tens of thousands of jobs, prompting lawsuits and threats against Musk’s team.
He’ll still have plenty of friends, but he obviously feels the need to be in the public spotlight. He could easily retreat into a private life and have a great time for the rest of his life but I don’t think he’ll do that.
