President Donald Trump said he wants Elon Musk to stay on his team "as long as possible" during a conversation with reporters Thursday, adding DOGE had found something "horrible" without divulging details.

The president made his remarks during a conversation with reporters on Air Force One after Trump was asked how much longer Musk would stay on as a "special government employee."

The questions followed a report from Politico this week claiming Trump had told his inner circle that Musk will be leaving his role as a "special government employee" with DOGE soon. The report cited internal frustrations with Musk's "unpredictability" and his potential to be a "political liability."

"Elon is fantastic. He's a patriot," Trump told reporters, adding Musk can stay at the White House "as long as he'd like" and that he personally wants him to stay "as long as possible."

Tesla will come back. Space X is still dealing with it. Screw the Democrats and their Satanist Democrazy. AMERICA FIRST!

Binary heads are exploding tonight! Musk is staying.

I pray Elon makes peace with whatever his “losses” are because the gains for the country, for humanity are God-given.

Apparently Politico’s “anonymous source” lied to them. lol

[FlingWingFlyer]

Same here.

I wonder if the “horrible thing” has anything to do with the firings of the top two bosses at NSA this evening?

Got spied on again?

Elon may already have had enough receiving a blizzard of death threats, since he began associating with Trump.
He is performing a valuable service, but he’s only human.

Yikes!

[dragnet2]

The U.S. government is a crime scene.

[Pajamajan]

I hope Elon stays.
He and DOGE need to keep doing interviews and press conferences.
The main media outlets are not covering anything about all the fraud exc...that DOGE has uncovered.
If the public understood what DOGE is trying to do, they would support them, and not be out attacking cars.

Obviously some folks in the administration don't, since they're seeding stories about Musk leaving to the press. I'm torn - my Tesla stock would appreciate Musk getting back to running his companies, but my tax burden would appreciate Musk continuing to unearth fraud and corruption in the government. Of course it's far too unrealistic to expect Congress to actually do its job and audit the money it keeps spending.

[TigersEye]

That crossed my mind. Trump’s team should be laying a lot of such traps.
