Elon Musk's role as chief of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) may soon end, as President Trump hints at his return to managing Tesla and SpaceX. Amid criticism of DOGE's impact and falling Tesla shares, Trump expressed a desire to keep Musk in the White House but acknowledged the need for him to focus on his companies. The DOGE initiative, aimed at slashing government costs, is set to conclude by July 4, 2026, with Cabinet members expected to take over its responsibilities after Musk's departure.
