Trump to hold farewell press conference with Elon Musk at White House

President Donald Trump says he will hold a joint White House press conference Friday with outgoing Department of Government Efficiency leader Elon Musk. 

"This will be his last day, but not really, because he will, always, be with us, helping all the way. Elon is terrific! See you tomorrow at the White House," Trump said in a Truth Social post Thursday night about Musk, who on Wednesday said he has officially left his appointed government post.

Musk must leave his post as a "special government employee" because it allows him to work for the federal government for just 130 days a year. 

However, Musk in recent days has criticized Trump's Big, Beautiful" spending bill and said he needs to spend more time on his entrepreneurial business ventures, which include Tesla and SpaceX.
