WASHINGTON D.C., DC — President Donald Trump is set to hold a press conference Friday alongside Elon Musk, who is stepping down from his position as a special government advisor spearheading the Department of Government Efficiency, known as DOGE .
Musk’s departure marks the end of his formal role, but Trump hinted that it may not be a true goodbye.
“This will be his last day, but not really, because he will, always, be with us, helping all the way,” Trump shared on social media.
The future of DOGE after Musk’s exit remains unclear, but the White House and its supporters say the agency will stay on track with its cost-cutting agenda.
Later in the day, Trump is expected to travel to Pittsburgh to spotlight a new collaboration between U.S. Steel and Japanese conglomerate Nippon Steel.
