Elon Musk will not be fully exiting the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—and its activities are only intensifying. On Friday, President Donald Trump threw cold water on the idea that Musk would fully disappear from DOGE and the White House forever. "Elon's really not leaving,” Trump said in a joint press conference with Musk in the Oval Office. Both new and familiar DOGE faces have also been recently detailed to new agencies, according to sources. Trump appeared to confirm that contracts were under review at Friday’s press conference: "Many contracts, Elon, right now are being looked at,” he said.
