Elon Musk, who stepped down as the chief of the Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE, meant to save "trillions" in American taxpayer dollars, identify fraudulent government schemes, and cut bureaucracy, has said that he will continue to remain a friend and adviser to President Trump despite his tenure coming to an end.
"It was always a limited-term assignment," said the tech billionaire, as he now aims to focus more on his businesses, which include the world's leading private Space firm SpaceX and Tesla, which is among the world's most advanced e-vehicle maker.
Elon Musk, who was wearing a jacket over a t-shirt that read 'The DOGE-Father' for the farewell press conference, spoke briefly after President Trump thanked and showered praise on the DOGE chief. "What Elon has done for America hasn't been done in generations - his contributions are historic," the President said, describing his friendship with Musk as "truly special".
