Elon Musk‘s controversial role in Trump’s administration is coming to an end. Under U.S. law, special government employees cannot serve more than 130 days. Musk’s tenure will likely expire in May, but the DOGE team will continue operations until 2026.
Is Musk Really Leaving?
While White House officials confirm Musk’s departure, Musk and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt have called these reports “fake news.” Trump stated, “I’d keep him as long as I could.”

What Has the DOGE Team Done?
Under Musk’s leadership, DOGE has aggressively cut government spending, resulting in mass layoffs across various federal agencies.
- 56,000 federal employees laid off
- 75,000 voluntary resignations
- 171,000 additional cuts planned
Musk and DOGE claim to have saved $140 billion, but independent analyses highlight major calculation errors. The DOGE team will continue until 2026, but Musk’s replacement remains unknown. Trump’s push for a smaller government is expected to continue.
