With Elon Musk departing from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), US President Donald Trump on Friday hosted a grand Oval Office farewell for the world’s richest man and thanked him for his incredible service.
What Trump said about Musk
– One of the greatest business leaders.
— Want to thank Elon Musk. He has changed lives of several people.
— Many DOGE people are staying on.
— Elon Musk gave incredible service.
Thanking Trump, Musk said that his departure was not an end of DOGE and the team will grow stronger.
Musk and Trump held a joint press conference to put a positive spin on Musk’s departure from the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) after just four months.
Trump, 78, praised the “terrific” Musk on Thursday and insisted that his influence would continue despite the South African-born tech tycoon returning to his Space X and Tesla companies.
“This will be his last day, but not really, because he will, always, be with us, helping all the way,” Trump said on his Truth Social network.
Vice President JD Vance praised Musk’s “incredible” job in an interview with Newsmax and vowed that “the DOGE effort will continue.”
Meanwhile, Donald Trump also said that he is happy with the decision on tariffs a day earlier, after a federal appeals court temporarily allowed his tariffs to remain in effect, overturning a lower court’s ruling that had deemed them unlawful.
