Washington | The White House said on Wednesday that tech billionaire Elon Musk would stay on to complete his mission to slash government spending and downsize the federal workforce, dismissing media reports that he will leave the role soon.
Politico and ABC reported that US President Donald Trump had told members of his cabinet that Musk would soon depart and return to the private sector, although the reports did not make clear if that would mean Musk leaving before his 130-day mandate as a special government employee is set to expire around late May.
