Donald Trump Gifts Elon Musk Key to White House in Send-Off Presser | 30 May 2025 | President Donald Trump gifted Elon Musk a key to the White House for leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) during his send-off press conference in the Oval Office on Friday. Friday marks the end of Musk's special government employee tenure, which is capped at 130 days. Trump lauded Musk for the work that DOGE has done in exposing waste, fraud, and abuse. Musk, who had a black eye and sported a shirt that appeared to read "Dogefather," thanked Trump and emphasized that this is just the beginning of DOGE, rather than the end, and expressed confidence that a $1 trillion reduction in waste and fraud will materialize. Both Trump and Musk said the mogul will still be a familiar face.
