Musk to remain ‘friend and adviser’ to Trump after leaving Doge, says Vance

In recent days, several news outlets, including Politico, reported that Trump had told members of his cabinet that the tech billionaire, who holds the position of “special government employee”, would soon be stepping back from his role in the administration, and would take on a supporting role and return to the private sector.

As a special government employee, Musk’s current service is capped at 130 days, which, if counted from the day of the inauguration, is set to expire sometime in late May.

And then, on Thursday morning, in an interview with Fox News, Vance stated: “Doge has got a lot of work to do, and yeah, that work is going to continue after Elon leaves, but fundamentally, Elon is going to remain a friend and an adviser of both me and the president.

Hey America! ... we'll keep using this guy that you hate, you don't like, you don't trust, you didn't vote for and is actively destroying our country.

I like how JD keeps getting forgotten so he needs to get these little notes in like Mutler is his friend even though I don't think he even knows he exists.

This was 10 hours ago. Did Musk notice that him leaving had a positive impact on Tesla stock or something?
