gifted a key to the White House during an Oval Office press conference called to bid farewell to the world's richest man. Mr Musk had been working in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), used to pinpoint and cut areas of wasteful spending. Despite his contact coming to an end, the CEO will seemingly stick around the White House, as Mr Trump said "he would be back".
This week, he criticised Mr Trump's "massive spending bill" that expands the federal deficit and "undermines the work"of the department he is now leaving. Announcing the conference on TruthSocial, the US president said: "This will be his last day, but not really, because he will, always, be with us, helping all the way. Elon is terrific! See you tomorrow at the White House."
