(NewsNation) — Elon Musk, who led the Department of Government Efficiency, announced on social media that he would soon be stepping away from his duties at the White House and thanked President Donald Trump for giving him the role. NewsNation’s Leland Vittert says Musk’s departure will only embolden Trump to feel more powerful, and make him more popular than ever.
NewsNation contributor Chris Cillizza says Musk’s role in the Trump White House always had an expiration date.
