Washington, D.C.: Elon Musk, the high-profile entrepreneur and CEO of several major technology companies, is stepping down from his advisory role in the Trump administration, a White House official confirmed today.
Musk’s departure marks the end of his involvement in government efforts focused on technology, innovation, and space policy. His role had been seen as a bridge between the private sector and the administration’s agenda on advanced technologies.
The announcement was first reported by a private newspaper about seven hours ago and has sparked widespread discussion across political and tech circles.
While Musk did not immediately comment, sources indicate that he plans to refocus his energy on his business ventures, including developments in space exploration, electric vehicles, and artificial intelligence.
The White House expressed gratitude for Musk’s contributions and said it respects his decision to move on.
Musk’s exit raises questions about the future direction of the administration’s tech policies and its relationship with Silicon Valley leaders.
