President Trump has indicated to his inner circle that Elon Musk will soon be stepping down from his formal government role, despite Trump's satisfaction with Musk's contributions. Musk is expected to maintain an informal advisory role and may continue to be seen at the White House occasionally. This transition aligns with the expiration of Musk's status as a "special government employee," which is set to end in late May or early June with no plans for extension. Inside the administration, there are mixed feelings about Musk's tenure; while some defend his aggressive cost-cutting measures, others criticize his unpredictable behavior and communication style, especially his habit of announcing major decisions on social media without prior coordination. This unpredictability, coupled with political backlash from Musk's involvement in partisan activities, such as a $20 million investment in a state Supreme Court race, has led to Trump preparing for Musk's exit to prevent further controversy and stabilize the administration's messaging as it approaches a critical period.
