Elon Musk switching to remote on DOGE efforts

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, is starting to transition from his role with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and is no longer working regularly from the White House, Fox News writes.

The White House confirmed earlier this month that the plan was always for Musk to refocus on Tesla once he completed “his incredible work at DOGE.”

The Tesla CEO was appointed as an unpaid special government employee under DOGE and remains involved in the agency remotely.

Fox News’ reporter previously asked the DOGE leader during an interview with him and members of his team if he would be working past the 130 days typically expected of special government employees. In response, Musk said that his team would likely be able to accomplish the task set before them during that period.
