Trump says Elon Musk will be out of the White House 'soon': report

President Donald Trump has reportedly determined that billionaire Elon Musk is on borrowed time in the White House.

Politico reports that Trump "has told his inner circle, including members of his Cabinet, that Elon Musk will be stepping back in the coming weeks from his current role as governing partner, ubiquitous cheerleader and Washington hatchet man."

The news comes just hours after a Musk-led effort to win a state Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin went down in flames when liberal Susan Crawford won the race by more than ten points.

Additionally, sources tell Politico that Trump's own inner circle had grown very tired of Musk in recent weeks.

"Many others say he’s an unpredictable, unmanageable force who has had issues communicating his plans with Cabinet secretaries and through the White House chain of command led by chief of staff Susie Wiles, frequently sending them into a frenzy with unexpected and off-message comments on X, his social-media platform — including sharing unvetted and uncoordinated plans to gut federal agencies," the publication reports.
