Elon Musk is set to conclude his role with the Department of Government Efficiency this spring, the White House confirmed. The administration stated that Musk’s departure will occur once he completes his ongoing tasks at DOGE.

Leavitt’s comments came in response to a Politico article suggesting that Trump has informed close advisers about Musk stepping back from his role. Critics have noted that Musk’s anticipated withdrawal aligns with his status as a special government employee, a role originally slated to last for 130 days, which expires in May.
