Funky goodbye..

Trump to Musk: "You were amazing!"

US President Donald Trump bid farewell to his advisor Elon Musk yesterday

Wednesday :

during what appears to be his last participation in a cabinet meeting

sending him an emotional message.

Musk sat wearing two striking hats, one bearing the logo of his agency

DOGE :

• which specializes in reducing government

• and the other reading, "America’s Bay,"

• in a gesture that appears to be a summary of

a turbulent period he spent between politics and business.

Trump jokingly commented to Musk

"You're the only one who can do this without being held accountable"

breaking the ice in an atmosphere marked by hidden tension, despite

the laughs elicited by Musk's response, "As they say, I wear a lot of hats".

Trump addressed his words to Musk :

saying :

"You were a true support and inspired many to discover what can be achieved.

• We express our sincere thanks to you.You can stay

• you are always welcome

• but he wants to return to his car..

You did an amazing job.. $150 billion..

• The number may be larger

• as there are many projects under implementation

• some of which have not yet been included because

they have not been completed :

and may have tripled, and there are things that have not yet been calculated

because they are under completion.

They have provided wonderful work, and we appreciate that.".

The American :

billionaire is leaving his government position

carrying with him huge losses exceeding $113 billion of his wealth, according to

the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, in addition to the collapse of 

Tesla’s profits by 71% and the decline of its shares by 33%.

Behind the official farewell words :

deep disagreements that Musk experienced during his tenure were revealed

starting with his sharp confrontations with Secretary of State

Marco Rubio over employment policies, all the way to his public quarrel

with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent over IRS appointments.

These clashes revealed :

a gap between the billionaire's technocratic vision and the reality of political action

which ultimately prompted Trump to define his powers

and transform his role into essentially advisory.

But the irony is that :

Musk is leaving the political arena even richer on a personal level, as he has

maintained the title of the world's richest man thanks to the rising value of his

investments in his own companies such as SpaceX and Neuralink.
