Summary:
President Donald Trump has told his Cabinet and inner circle that Elon Musk is stepping back from his government role.

The Tesla and Space X founder will soon be returning to the business world, Politico reported, in a move that rattled the stock market and stunned Washington.

Musk's designation as a special government employee meant he was scheduled to step down in May but he's now leaving early in a cloud of controversy.

Note: Later today, Scott-in-FL determined that this is FAKE news

Update (1605ET):

Aaand here's the denial. White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt has called Politico's scoop "garbage," adding "lon Musk and President Trump have both *publicly* stated that Elon will depart from public service as a special government employee when his incredible work at DOGE is complete."

"Yeah, fake news," Musk replied.

This “scoop” is garbage.

Elon Musk and President Trump have both *publicly* stated that Elon will depart from public service as a special government employee when his incredible work at DOGE is complete.

Though we would note that 'stepping back' (Politico) does not equal 'departing' (WH).

Shares of Tesla rose on Wednesday following an anonymously sourced Politico report (keeping in mind Musk just yanked millions in government 'subscriptions' from them) that President Trump has told his inner circle that Musk would be stepping back from his advisory role in the coming weeks.



Musk, who Politico describes as "governing partner, ubiquitous cheerleader and Washington hatchet man" (totally not salty), claims that Trump "remains pleased with Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency initiative but both men have decided in recent days that it will soon be time for Musk to return to his businesses and take on a supporting role."

Then Politico gets extra nasty - writing that "Musk’s looming retreat comes as some Trump administration insiders and many outside allies have become frustrated with his unpredictability and increasingly view the billionaire as a political liability, a dynamic that was thrown into stark relief Tuesday when a conservative judge Musk vocally supported lost his bid for a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat by 10 points."

One anonymous official allegedly told Politico that Musk is likely to retain an informal advisory role and continue to be an occasional face around the White House, while another said that anyone who thinks Musk is going to disappear entirely from Trump's orbit is "fooling themselves."

As we noted above, shares of Musk-owned Tesla rose more than 5% on the report.



While Polymarket odds that he'll be out as the head of DOGE in 2025 spiked as well.
