Staying in the US, media reports say Donald Trump has told close associates that Elon Musk will soon step down from his job in the administration. Musk is head of the Department of Government Efficiency – or DOGE – where he’s in charge of cutting federal bureaucracy.
The reports emerged after an election in Wisconsin that developed into a test of Musk’s – and Trump’s – popularity in the state. The tech billionaire poured millions of dollars into the election to pick a new judge on Wisconsin’s supreme court. Musk’s Trump-friendly candidate lost – to a liberal judge. The White House responded to the reports by saying: "Musk will depart from public service when his work at DOGE is complete".
