Vice President J.D. Vance on Wednesday dismissed reports that President Donald Trump was unhappy with billionaire Elon Musk’s role at DOGE and that Musk was planning to leave the administration.
“First of all, that report I saw was total fake news,” Vance said in a Fox News interview, referring to a Politico article claiming Trump had privately told cabinet members that Musk would soon be “stepping back.”
Vance clarified that Musk was brought on as a special advisor for a six-month initiative aimed at streamlining government operations and reducing bureaucracy.
