Trump and Musk to hold joint press conference
US President Donald Trump has announced a joint press conference with businessman and head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Elon Musk. The event will take place on May 30 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time (20:30 Moscow time) and will be Musk's last day in government.
Musk's Government Job Ends
As head of the DOGE department, Musk is formally a special government employee, and by law he cannot hold the post for more than 130 days a year. That term expires on May 30.
The Relationship Between Trump and Musk
Musk was one of the main donors to Trump's presidential campaign, and immediately after his victory he was called the second most influential person in the White House. However, Musk's activities as DOGE and the scandals he got into led to him losing the sympathy of both the vast majority of Americans and Trump himself.
Musk's Future After Leaving Government
Despite the loss of sympathy, Musk will continue to help Trump, as the US President himself stated. “Elon is an amazing person!” Trump wrote on his social network Truth Social.
Musk's Government Results
- Musk hasn't had any success with DOGE;
- he destroyed his reputation;
- harmed the business.
According to experts, Musk's departure from the White House was the result of his failed work as DOGE and the scandals that followed.
Conclusion
The joint press conference between Trump and Musk will serve as a kind of summary of Musk's work in government. Despite the end of his work at DOGE, Musk will continue to play a role in Trump's team.
