Despite rumors from the mainstream liberal media, Vice President JD Vance called reports that tech billionaire Elon Musk is leaving his role as President Trump’s advisor “fake news.”
Further, Vance firmly shut down the “fake news” reports suggesting the billionaire entrepreneur was stepping away from the administration.
The vice president emphatically confirmed Musk’s ongoing advisory position within the Trump administration.
He did not mince words when addressing rumors about Musk’s departure, labeling such reports as completely false information being spread by administration critics and mainstream media outlets.
“Elon Musk continues as adviser to President Trump,” Vance stated definitively during the interview, putting to rest any speculation about a rift between the innovative businessman and the administration.
The Vice President further emphasized that Musk’s work with President Trump and his team is “not even close to done,” highlighting the administration’s continued value of Musk’s expertise.
The confirmation comes amid Musk’s scheduled departure from his official role at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which he helped establish alongside fellow businessman Vivek Ramaswamy.
Despite stepping down from this position, Musk will maintain his influence as President Trump’s trusted adviser on matters ranging from government efficiency to technological innovation.
Federal regulations limit Musk’s role as a special government employee to 130 days, potentially ending around May 30.
However, this legal technicality will not prevent him from continuing to provide valuable guidance to the administration in an unofficial capacity.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has maintained that Musk will complete his assigned work before departing his official position.
The left’s opposition to Musk has intensified since he aligned himself with the Trump administration in spite of his previous history of supporting liberal causes.
The billionaire has expressed surprise at the hostility directed his way from progressive quarters, noting the unexpected backlash he has received for supporting common-sense government reforms and efficiency measures.
DOGE’s ambitious mission to identify and eliminate $1 trillion in wasteful government spending will continue even after Musk transitions to his advisory role.
The administration remains committed to cutting bloated bureaucracy and unnecessary programs that drain taxpayer resources, and Musk will continue to provide strategic input behind the scenes.
Meanwhile, liberal critics have attempted to attribute Tesla’s recent stock fluctuations to Musk’s political involvement, despite numerous other market factors at play.
The bond between Trump and Musk represents a powerful partnership between political leadership and technological innovation.
With Musk continuing to advise the President on streamlining government operations and advancing American technological dominance, the administration is well-positioned to deliver on its promises to the American people.
