Source: Yahoo, Asbury Park Press
Elon Musk may be getting out of DOGE.
On Thursday, Musk said he plans to step down from his role in the spring.
The head of Tesla and X owner said he plans on stepping away in May during a Fox News interview with six members of his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team.
Musk said he was overseeing a revolution in government.
I think we will have accomplished most of the work required to reduce the deficit by $1 trillion within that time frame, Musk said.

(180,789 posts)Musk does not want to comply with the ethics rules or to make the required disclosures. Musk and TFG thing that they are being cute by labeling Musk as a "special government employee" to avoid these issues. There is an upside. As a special government employee, Musk is limited to 130 days working for the federal government

(27,676 posts)...which is "Elon Musk's X acquired by his AI startup, says his job with DOGE nearly done" -- there is nothing in the story that says "Elon Musk is Quitting." All it says is that he may quit in the future. Does anyone believe what Musk says until it is actually done?
