Local time on April 3, U.S. President Donald Trump said that as long as Elon Musk is willing, he can stay in his position for as long as he wants, but may leave a few months later. After Musk leaves, the work of the "Department of Government Efficiency" will continue.

In response to the media reports on April 3 that "at least three staff members of the National Security Council were fired", Trump said that they sometimes fire people they don't like.
Earlier on February 2, Politico, an American political news website, reported that Trump had told cabinet members and other close contacts that Musk would soon resign from his government post. In response to this report, Musk said on social media that the news about him soon resigning from the "Department of Government Efficiency" was "fake news".
Musk is considered a close ally of Trump. He leads the "Department of Government Efficiency" in the new U.S. administration, helping Trump significantly cut federal spending and mass layoffs of federal employees. White House spokesperson Leavitt once said that although Musk does not have a ministerial position or formal decision-making power, he is a "special government employee" and a "senior presidential advisor". Public opinion in the United States generally believes that Musk is the de facto head of the "Department of Government Efficiency". (CCTV reporter Cao Jian)
