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.

"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. But a White House official told POLITICO in February that there was no end in sight to his time working alongside Trump, and that he was “here to stay.”
