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.
