"As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending," Musk posted on X Wednesday. "The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government."
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized Thursday "the DOGE leaders are each and every member of the President's Cabinet and the president himself, who is wholeheartedly committed to cutting waste, fraud and abuse from our government."
