Elon Musk’s days as a senior White House adviser may be coming to an end — along with his government-slashing Department of Government Efficiency.

Axar.az reports citing Politico, President Donald Trump hinted Monday that his close ally Musk may have to go back to running his companies full time and that the tumultuous mission of DOGE will have been accomplished after firing tens of thousands of government employees.

“I think he’s amazing but I also think he’s got a big company to run and so at some point he’s going to be going back,” Trump said of the Tesla CEO. “He wants to. I’d keep him as long as I could keep him.”

The president’s comments, made at a White House signing ceremony for an executive order calling for increased scrutiny of concert ticket resellers, came amid growing public concern about the chaos and turmoil caused by DOGE — and as the once high-flying Tesla appears to be heading for a hard landing.

Musk is classed as a temporary government employee, with a 130-day cap on his services at the White House. Under that designation, his tenure would conclude at the end of May.
