Summary
Elon Musk, once a prominent presence in the White House as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has reportedly stepped back from his physical role, according to Trump’s Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles. While Musk is still involved via phone communication, his absence marks a significant change from his earlier visibility in the administration, including public appearances with Trump. Despite facing substantial financial losses this year, Musk remains the world’s richest person, significantly ahead of Jeff Bezos.
