Trump says he expects Musk to eventually return to running companies

President Trump on Monday said he expects Elon Musk will eventually return to running his companies after his work overhauling the federal government.

A reporter noted that Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is a special government employee, which means he can only work for 130 days in his role. When asked if he wants Musk to stay longer, Trump said he will want to return to his companies.

“I think he’s amazing but I also think he’s got a big company to run. At some point he’s going to be going back.
