President Donald Trump affirmed on Thursday that he wants Elon Musk to remain with the administration for as long as he would like, hinting that his Department of Government Efficiency recently made a shocking discovery.
Trump was asked on Air Force One about how long Musk would stay on board with the administration as a “special government employee,” according to Fox News.
“Elon is fantastic. He’s a patriot,” Trump answered.
Musk is allowed to stay “as long as he’d like,” while the commander-in-chief himself would prefer that he remain “as long as possible.”
“I like smart people, and he’s a smart person. I also like him, personally,” Trump commented.
“We’re in no rush. But there will be a point at which time Elon’s going to have to leave.”
