Musk vows to stay Trump’s ‘friend’ in odd black-eyed farewell
2025-05-31
[IsraelTimes] Billionaire Elon Musk bade farewell to Donald Trump in an extraordinary Oval Office appearance today in which he sported a black eye, brushed aside drug abuse claims and vowed to stay a “friend and advisor” to the US president.

As the world’s richest person bowed out of his role as Trump’s cost-cutter-in-chief, the Republican hailed Musk’s “incredible service” and handed him a golden key to the White House.

But Trump insisted that Musk was “really not leaving” after a turbulent four months in which his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cut tens of thousands of jobs, shuttered whole agencies, and slashed foreign aid.

“He’s going to be back and forth,” said Trump, showering praise on the tech tycoon for what he called the “most sweeping and consequential government reform program in generations.”

South African-born Musk, wearing a black T-shirt with the word “Dogefather” in white lettering and a black DOGE baseball cap, said many of the $1 trillion savings he promised would take time to bear fruit.

“I look forward to continuing to be a friend and advisor to the president,” he said.
