Trump presents Musk with a golden key in a farewell gesture
United States President Donald Trump presented Tesla CEO Elon Musk with a golden key as a departing gift, symbolizing Musk's esteemed status within the administration. Musk, who served as a special government employee, has been hailed by Trump for his cost-saving initiatives, particularly regarding Dogecoin (DOGE) and economic restructuring measures.
In a joint appearance at the White House, Trump praised Musk's efforts, stating that the multi-billionaire had initiated "the most comprehensive and significant reform program of any government in recent history." The gift, a golden key, is a traditionally revered symbol presented to special guests by the White House.
Through Musk's tenure, he is reported to have saved billions for the government by cutting wasteful spending, stopping fraud, and eliminating abuse. The American people are grateful for his contributions, as Trump emphasized during the joint press conference.
Despite his departure from the government team, Trump expressed confidence that Musk would continue to play a role in the political scene. Musk himself stated, "This is not the end of Doge, but the beginning. The team will become stronger over time and exert more influence."
Musk's temporary stint as a special government employee was slated to end on May 31, adhering to the 130-day limit under U.S. rules. However, his role as a Trump advisor has gradually diminished over the past weeks, with Musk intending to focus more on Tesla matters from May onwards.
Musk's activities in Washington have garnered mixed reactions, some accusing him of causing social unrest and economic uncertainty. Despite these debates, Musk's association with Trump has remained strong, with the billionaire investing over $250 million in Trump's election campaign and frequently standing alongside the president during the beginning of Trump's second term.
