 Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, is starting to transition from his role with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and is no longer working regularly from the White House, according to a report from the New York Post.

His impending exit is no surprise, as the White House confirmed earlier this month that the plan was always for Musk to refocus on Tesla once he completed "his incredible work at DOGE."

The Tesla CEO was appointed as an unpaid special government employee under DOGE and remains involved in the agency remotely.

Fox News' Bret Baier previously asked the DOGE leader during an interview with him and members of his team if he would be working past the 130 days typically expected of special government employees.

To which Musk responded, "I think we will have accomplished most of the work required to reduce the deficit by a trillion dollars within that timeframe."

Musk has also reportedly told his investors that he would be "allocating far more of my time to Tesla" in the coming months during a Tesla earnings call.

Trump is the Devil incarnate.  He corrupts and ruins everything and veryone he touches.

For all his work on DOGE, the GOP Congress will fail to cut spending, and deficit spending will continue.

The budget is expected to be passed by July 4.  We will see whether any cuts survive.  Last I heard was Hegseth bragging about the first trillion dollar defense department, and Steve Bannon promising tax hikes on the high earners.

I'd like to see a rate hike on high earners.  Not sure how much more revenue it would bring in.  I'm guessing it would be merely symbolic like most of what congress critters do these days.
