Members of President Donald Trump‘s Cabinet applauded Elon Musk during Wednesday’s meeting after the president alluded to his imminent departure from the Department of Government Efficiency.
Musk’s special government contract is set to expire next month, but he announced on a Tesla shareholders call last week that he would scale back his work with DOGE to one or two days a week until he departs.

DOGE wants to cut $1 trillion this year. But it’s not looking at big spending drivers

These morons really think he will be gone? Yeah, sure dim bulbs... Elon will be “gone”.
Shocking naivety. Do they really think he won’t be talking to people, and that DOGE is over?
I winder if it’s blissful to be that simple minded?

Elon Musk bids farewell — sort of — to Trump Cabinet, claims DOGE saved $160 billion

What happened to cutting all govt agencies way back, firing hordes of gov’t employees, etc?
I hope that each department in the federal government continues with its own DOGE initiative, even after Elon Musk and his team of unpaid tech geniuses depart
I was looking forward to DOGE auditing Fort Knox and the Federal Reserve Bank.
Entitlements.
Common, the fight is just beginning.
“We have not yet begun to fight.”
Get Vivek in there to continue and finish the job of dismantling the 80%+, $3+ trillion unconstitutional portion of the federal gov’t ESSENTIAL for the recovery of our Free Constitutional Republic.
Musk can cut back his time at DOGE and still make a huge continued contribution, just as he does at Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter).
That headline is inaccurate. They didn’t cheer him leaving, they cheered all he had found while there. President Trump told him he could stay on as long as he would like.
Phony headline. They were applauding Elon, not his departure.
To me they are applauding DOGE accomplishment not his “departure”.
Lying media scum.
Politician’s Pork
So... they’re cheering because of how successful he was, not because he’s leaving....
Another misleading headline! Yes, they were cheering Musk, but he himself, not the fact that he was leaving or scaling back!
All these headline writers should be put out to pasture.
Phony headline. They were applauding Elon, not his departure.

That’s right. I watched it. And he was thanked for what he’s doing and has done.
Now, the work will go on quietly underground by each cabinet Secretary.
That is what I hoped all along, that Elon was just there to get the ball rolling and others would take over when he left.
