Elon Musk, White House and Presidency of Donald Trump

Elon Musk is leaving DC. People across the world of business and politics reflected on his time at DOGE and reacted to his exit.
After 130 days spent fighting the federal government, Elon Musk turned up with a black eye at the White House on Friday for his last day as a “special government employee.” If you squinted, you could see it: His right eye socket was puffy and empurpled. No doubt about it, that was a big, fat shiner.
Musk announced his departure a day after an interview clip showed him saying Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill “undermines” DOGE.
Elon Musk said he asked "Little X," his oldest child with the singer Grimes, to punch him in the face. "And he did," Musk said.
The White House confirmed to Reuters that Musk's offboarding began last night following a decision 'at a senior staff level.'
