Conclusion
Elon Musk did not explicitly mention in the interview that he will step down from DOGE in May. However, he stated that he expects to accomplish most of DOGE’s work within the 130-day timeframe of his role as a special government employee, which, starting from January 20, 2025, would end around May 30, 2025. This implies a potential step-down or reduced involvement by late May, but Musk does not confirm this directly in the transcript. Therefore, while the timeline suggests a possible exit in May, Musk’s exact plans remain unclear without a definitive statement.
