President Trump announced he will hold a special press conference with Elon Musk tomorrow.
The press conference announcement comes shortly after Elon Musk announced he would be stepping down from his position at DOGE.
Trump’s press conference announcement is sure to stun many media outlets, which have attempted to claim there was discord between Musk and Trump falsely.
Check out what our friends at Just The News reported:
President Donald Trump says he will hold a joint White House press conference Friday with outgoing Department of Government Efficiency leader Elon Musk.
“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,” Trump said in a Truth Social post Thursday night about Musk, who on Wednesday said he has officially left his appointed government post.
Musk must leave his post as a “special government employee” because it allows him to work for the federal government for just 130 days a year.
However, Musk in recent days has criticized Trump’s Big, Beautiful” spending bill and said he needs to spend more time on his entrepreneurial business ventures, which include Tesla and SpaceX.

Shortly after Elon Musk announced he was stepping down as a “special government employee,” left-leaning news networks repeatedly claimed Musk was stepping down due to his disagreement with Trump’s big spending bill and because DOGE had “failed.”
Here were some of those headlines:

ALX on X, who is a close friend of Musk, debunked those claims in a single post.
Check it out:
Legacy media is trying to frame Elon’s departure from DOGE as the result of a falling out with Trump.
-Elon was a special govt employee
-Special govt employees can serve 130 days
-130 days after January 20th is May 30th, this Friday.They are either retarded or think you are. https://t.co/qim94zjc5W

Yahoo Finance reported Musk’s departure stems from him wanting to take more time to focus on Tesla and xAI.
Per Yahoo Finance:
DOGE, or the Department of Government Efficiency, was a Musk-driven effort to reduce the size of government. As a special government employee, he was limited to 130 days working for the federal government without having to divest his businesses. That deadline would be Friday if he worked for the White House every day since the inauguration.
But the 53-year-old billionaire had already announced he was pulling back from DOGE in order to spend more time running his various companies — most notably Tesla Inc., which has seen auto deliveries and its share price slump since December. The electric vehicle manufacturer has recovered about half the decline in its stock price since April 22, when Musk told investors that his time devoted to DOGE would “drop significantly.”
His full exit comes at a critical time for Tesla, which is set to roll out full self-driving cars and a robotaxi service in June. A rocket launched by SpaceX, another Musk venture, tumbled out of control and disintegrated in the atmosphere this week — the latest in a string of setbacks at that company. And xAI, newly merged with his social media company formerly known as Twitter, finds itself in a rapidly evolving competitive environment for artificial intelligence.
