President Donald Trump has told his cabinet and inner circle that Elon Musk takes a step back from his government role.
The founder of Tesla and Space X will soon return to the business world, Polito reported, in a movement that rattled and caused shock waves in Washington.
It was a joint decision between the two men and Trump said that he will remain happy with the work of Musk with the Ministry of Efficiency of the Government.
But Musk has become a controversial figure because of his oblique and fire style of reducing the federal government. He also just fell $ 20 million in the Supreme Court race of Wisconsin to let his Republican candidate lose.
And the stock in Tesla has fallen sharply with the sales and sales parties are set on fire.
The report that Musk goes back to his business roots has sent its company shares. He became a billionaire because of his different business ownership.

Trump enabled him to bring that power and success to the federal government.
The decision caused immediate controversy, which led to questions whether Musk, whose space X has had billions in government contracts, had a conflict of interest.
Moreover, Musk's work to reduce the size of the federal government has resulted in mass dismissals and lawsuits against the Trump government.
He is also proven unpredictability.
All in all, Musk began to be seen as political liability. The Democratic candidate in Wisconsin won partly by forming the race as' The People vs. Elon Musk '.
Public Trump supported Musk and kept him close and visible. Musk has been with him in the Oval Office, walked on the path from the White House to Marine One and received journeys on Air Force One.
The president even turned the South Gazon of the White House into a Tesla show space after the company stock had sunk. Trump wrote Musk a personal check for one of the electric cars.
But Privé Trump has told his cabinet that they are in charge of each of their departments, not Musk. Musk was in that cabinet meeting when Trump made the announcement.
Elon Musk is designated as a 'special government officer', who has a time limit of 130 days
And there were muttering of tension with staff chef Susie Wiles.
Musk would not follow the command structure of the White House, for which he would have to keep more in the loop.
And his unexpected comments and comments on X – including sharing united and uncoordinated plans to intestine federal agencies – led to a PR crisis for the administration.
Musk is designated as a 'special government officer', who has a time limit of 130 days.
Many were afraid that Trump would find a way to find that limitation. The designation also releases Musk from some ethics and conflicts of interest.
The 130 -day period is expected to expire at the end of May or the beginning of June.
And it seems that the president is ready to let go of the man who spent $ 200 million to get him chosen.
But many do not expect Musk to disappear completely.
An assistant told Polito that everyone who thinks Musk will disappear completely from Trump's job will fool themselves.
The founder of Tesla will probably still have regular access to Trump and an open invitation to the Oval Office.
