Billionaire Elon Musk will continue to advise US President Donald Trump and US Vice President JD Vance even after leaving his government role, according to Vance. Musk's departure from the Department of Government Efficiency is expected before his 130-day mandate expires in late May. Vance dismissed reports of Musk leaving as 'total fake news' and emphasized that Musk will remain an advisor. Vance also defended controversial deportations and addressed Trump's blanket tariffs and efforts to facilitate the sale of TikTok to American investors.
