On April 3rd, local time, US President Trump said that as long as Elon Musk is willing, he can stay in office for as long as he wants, but he may leave in a few months. After Musk leaves, the work of the "Government Efficiency Department" will continue. When talking about the media reports on the 3rd that "at least three US National Security Council staff were fired", Trump said that they sometimes fire "people they don't like". Earlier on the 2nd, the US political news website (Politico) reported that Trump had told cabinet members and other close contacts that Musk would resign from the government soon. In response to the news announced by the US political news website, Musk said on social media on the 2nd that reports that he would soon resign from the "Government Efficiency Department" were "fake news". Musk is regarded as a close ally of Trump and leads the "Government Efficiency Department" in the new US government, helping Trump to drastically cut federal spending and lay off federal employees on a large scale. White House spokesman Levitt once said that although Musk does not have a ministerial position or formal decision-making power, he is a "special government employee" and a "senior adviser to the president." American public opinion generally believes that Musk is the actual head of the "Government Efficiency Department."
