President Donald Trump presented Elon Musk with a gold key in a farewell press conference to honor Musk’s work in leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to cut down on wasteful government spending.
President Trump began the conference from the Oval Office alongside Musk, stating “Today it’s about a man named Elon, and he’s one of the greatest business leaders and innovators the world has ever produced.”
“He stepped forward to put his very great talents into the service of our nation, and we appreciate it,” Trump continued, going on to indicate that Musk will continue to stay involved in DOGE despite Friday marking his last day as a special government employee in an official capacity.
