President Trump bid farewell to Elon Musk as he leaves the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to refocus on his businesses. Trump praised Musk's influence on transforming Washington's operational methods, despite the negative consequences, including mass employee layoffs and the dismantling of vital government functions like the US Agency for International Development. Amid controversy, Trump gave Musk a symbolic gold key as a thank-you gesture, indicating confidence that Musk's impact on federal spending could continue to resonate.
Trump noted that DOGE employees will remain embedded with government agencies and said the billionaire will probably want to keep tabs on "his baby."
Boston University researchers estimate that hundreds of thousands of people have already died as a result of the cuts.
