Trump Signals Support for Musk's Continued Role as DOGE Uncovers 'Horrible' Finding

As Musk's legally limited term nears its May 30 end, Trump praises his contributions and hints at a potential new role to extend his involvement.

President Trump expressed his desire for Elon Musk to remain involved in the administration, calling him a 'patriot' and 'very smart person.'
Musk's current role as a 'special government employee' with DOGE is legally limited to 130 days, ending on May 30, 2025.
Trump suggested the possibility of appointing Musk to a different position to extend his tenure beyond the current legal limit.
DOGE, under Musk's leadership, reportedly uncovered something 'horrible' and 'incredible,' though no details were disclosed.
Plans are underway for Cabinet secretaries to assume DOGE's responsibilities after Musk's departure, with many DOGE employees expected to transition into permanent federal roles.
