President Donald Trump on Wednesday, at the White House, offered to extend Elon Musk’s advisory role within his administration.
The 53-year-old tech billionaire attended the first Cabinet meeting since President Trump marked his first 100 days in office.
In what resembled a farewell message, Musk said the American people “voted for secure borders, safe cities, and sensible spending, and that’s what they’ve gotten.”;
Musk observed that “a tremendous amount”; had been accomplished in the first 100 days—more, he claimed, than any previous administration.
He stated that this achievement “portends very well for what will happen for the rest of the administration,”; and opined that it could be the “greatest administration”; in America’s history.
Musk, a senior presidential adviser who heads the Department of Government Efficiency, confirmed that $160 billion had been saved since January.
The Tesla CEO, however, expressed concern about the attacks on his company, adding: “They do like to burn my cars, which is not great.”;
In response, President Trump thanked Musk for his contributions, noting that he has “sacrificed a lot”; and has also been “treated unfairly.”;
Trump added that the vast majority of people respect and appreciate Musk for opening “a lot of eyes to what could be done.”;
“We just want to thank you very much, and you are invited to stay as long as you want,”; the President added.
Musk reportedly no longer operates from the West Wing, but his DOGE team continues to work from the Eisenhower Executive Office Building within the White House complex.
