Elon Musk to exit DOGE? What Tesla chief said

US President Donald Trump’s team member and tech billionaire Elon Musk signalled about his plans to step down from his role at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) by the end of May after overseeing $1 trillion reduction in the US deficit.

Musk, who has been spearheading government cost-cutting efforts as head of the DOGE, was brought in as a “special government employee" for a 130-day term, according to reports.

In an interview with Fox News, the Tesla chief and several top aides at DOGE spoke at length about their work to reduce the unnecessary financial burden on America and how they were reaching closer to their goal.
