Fox News
President Donald Trump says he likes 'Elon a lot' despite their friendship falling apart over his Big Beautiful Bill legislation as Musk's role with DOGE ended.
Trump responded: "Well, I really don't know. I mean, I like Elon a lot"…he said, praising Musk’s endorsement during the 2024 campaign before noting their disagreement over electric-vehicle policy.
Musk was a fixture in the White House in the early days of the second Trump administration as he took on the role as the Department of Government Efficiency's de facto leader. He served as a special government employee with the Trump administration to help lead DOGE, frequently attending Cabinet meetings and joining Trump during public events. Musk's tenure with DOGE wrapped up at the end of May.
