Trump bids farewell to Musk, assures DOGE will remain functional

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Friday (local time) praised Elon Musk for doing a “fantastic job” as head of the DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) and assured that the department, founded by Musk to cut unnecessary funding and boost the US economy, will remain functional.

Addressing the press at the Oval Office with Elon Musk on his last day, Trump said. “Elon has worked tirelessly helping lead the most sweeping and consequential government reforms in generations.” Trump also assured that many of the DOGE employees are staying behind and suggested that Musk will remain integral in the project.

“Many of the DOGE people are staying behind, too, so they’re not leaving, Elon is really not leaving. He’s gonna be back and forth. I want to thank Elon for his time as a special government employee for coming and helping us”. The President also listed the contracts that were terminated after DOGE recommendations to help boost the economy.
