United States President Donald Trump has informed his administration that Elon Musk will step down from his role as a government partner in the coming weeks, according to a report by Politico. The decision was reportedly agreed upon mutually, with sources close to Trump’s inner circle stating that Musk will return to focus on his private business ventures.

The President is said to be pleased with Musk’s work leading the Department of Government Efficiency and has praised his performance. Despite stepping away from his formal government duties, Musk may still maintain an informal advisory role.

One source familiar with the situation indicated that, while Musk’s official capacity as a special government employee will end in late May or early June, his influence may persist. “Anyone who thinks Musk will completely withdraw from Trump’s orbit is fooling themselves,” the source commented.

Musk’s time in the administration has been marked by both praise for his swift reforms and discussions about how to modernize federal operations. His potential departure raises questions about the future of ongoing efficiency initiatives and whether they will continue with the same momentum.

Though Trump and Musk have reportedly reached a consensus about the timing and nature of the transition, observers note that Musk's continued involvement—even unofficially—could still shape future policy directions. His exit from the formal role marks the end of an unusual yet impactful public-private partnership within the administration.

For now, the White House has not officially commented on the matter, but internal sources suggest preparations for Musk’s departure are already underway. The development is expected to draw public interest, especially given Musk’s high-profile status and the potential implications for federal efficiency efforts.
