Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced last month that he would cut his hours at the White House as Director of the Department of Government Efficiency.

The Department of Government Efficiency driving force is no longer physically working from the executive branch, The Post has learned.

The White House said that Musk “hasn’t been here physically” lately, but that he is advising the Department of Government Efficiency over the phone.

President Donald Trump signed a $600 billion agreement with Saudi Arabia on Tuesday that includes a major defense contract and substantial investments in artificial intelligence—as U.S. business executives made their own set of deals at a conference in the backdrop of Trump’s visit to Riyadh, the first stop on his four-day tour of the Middle East.

Elon Musk has exited the White House—physically, at least. President Donald Trump’s “special government employee” is no longer working within the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) offices as he prepares his exit from the Trump administration and focuses more on saving his floundering businesses from failure.

He fell from grace as effortlessly as he rose. Like a dime-store Icarus, he took too many chances, never understood the risks and flew too close to the sun. Wrapped in the halo of his social-media superstardom, he was blinded to the reality of his circumstances until it was too late.

Elon Musk’s first 100 days in the White House were filled with twists and turns as the world’s richest person became one of the most influential and contentious figures in Washington in a matter

“Instead of meeting with him in person, I’m talking to him on the phone, but it’s the same net effect,” White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles told the New York Post in an interview discussing the Trump administration’s first 100 days.

Elon Musk gave a wide-ranging interview to reporters as he steps back from DOGE, discussing White House stays and his relationship with Donald Trump.

Videos about the claim included disclaimers that the story was fictional and the visuals were the product of artificial intelligence software.
