Elon Musk is likely to leave DOGE soon – report | Forexlive

Data today showed that Tesla deliveries plunged late in Q1 as Elon Musk hitched himself to Donald Trump and his DOGE campaign. The richest man in the world had said he would stay at the White House for months but now there are indications that he’s become a political liability.

He tried to swing yesterday’s Wisconsin court election but failed and some of the measures he’s taken and comments he’s made are dogging Republicans.

Now, Politico reports that Trump “has told his inner circle, including members of his Cabinet, that Elon Musk will be stepping back in the coming weeks from his current role as governing partner.”

It says that both men have decided to part ways and that Musk “will take a supporting role.” That contrasts messages from last month that Musk was ‘here to stay’.

“Musk’s looming retreat comes as some Trump administration insiders and many outside allies have become frustrated with his unpredictability and increasingly view the billionaire as a political liability”

It may not be hasty though as Musk could stay until late May or early June.
