In the Oval Office, an exit marked by irony and recognition: the founder of Tesla steps down from official duties but promises to remain an informal advisor to the president

Elon Musk officially leaves Doge, Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, but does not break with the US president. At a press conference in the Oval Office, amid provocative looks and sharp jokes, the founder of Tesla and SpaceX formalises his departure from office, announcing, however, that he will continue to collaborate as an informal advisor.

‘He did an excellent job and he didn’t have to do it,’ Trump said. ‘He is one of the greatest innovators in modern history and has led an unprecedented government reform programme: cutting unnecessary contracts, stopping waste, ending thousands of frauds. The numbers are already extraordinary, but they will grow even more.’

Musk, wearing a black cap with the word “Doge” and a Godfather-style T-shirt with the words “The Dogefather”, confirmed his decision to step down in order to refocus on his companies, particularly Tesla. But he also assured that he would continue to “come here as a visitor, as a friend and as an advisor to the president”.

The president added that ‘Elon is not really leaving’ and that many people on the Doge team will remain operational. ‘What Elon has done for America is unparalleled,’ Trump reiterated.

Musk then sarcastically denied a New York Times article accusing him of drug use: ‘The Times? The same newspaper that won the Pulitzer for the Russiagate hoax?’ He finally explained his black eye with a joke: ‘I was playing with my son X. I told him to punch me, and he did.’

With his departure from the Doge, Musk leaves the institutional scene but not the political radar of the Trump administration. And his influence could continue to be felt, even without an official position.
