Gold prices steady ahead of Fed decision, Trump’s tariff deadline
Investing.com -- White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has dismissed as "garbage" a recent report by Politico that Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk is planning to step down from his role as a special government employee. Leavitt stated that both Musk and President Trump have publicly confirmed that Musk will only leave his public service role once his work at DOGE is finished.
Politico reported earlier Wednesday that President Trump had informed his Cabinet members and close associates that Musk, who is also the CEO of Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), would be stepping back from his current role in the upcoming weeks.
However, this information was refuted by Leavitt, who confirmed that Musk’s departure is contingent on the completion of his work at DOGE, a project that has not yet been finalized.
