Tech billionaire Elon Musk has revealed the date he plans to 'ditch US President Donald Trump' and leave Washington DC after his DOGE purge of Federal departments. The Tesla CEO sat down with key members of his DOGE team to discuss the work his team has carried out for the first few months of Trump's administration. Elon Musk plans to step down from his cost-cutting role in the Trump administration at the end of May after reducing the US deficit by $1 trillion, the tech billionaire said on Thursday, according to The Fox News. Musk, 54, expressed confidence in getting close to that goal, which would halve the annual federal deficit, in just 130 days — saying his team was averaging “$4 billion a day, every day, seven days a week.”ALSO READ: Myanmar earthquake: Emergency declared in Bangkok; Thailand's stock exchange suspends tradingMusk says 'he's done with cost-cutting'In an interview with Fox News' "Special Report with Bret Baier", Elon Musk said that he was confident his DOGE could find $1 trillion in savings, slimming current total federal spending levels of about $7 trillion down to $6 trillion. Musk, who is also the world's richest man, was designated by the White House as a "special government employee," which caps his work at 130 days. That means his period leading the DOGE operation could finish as soon as the end of May."I think we will accomplish most of the work required to reduce the deficit by a trillion dollars within that time frame," Musk said when asked by Baier about his tenure and how quickly he expected to achieve his cost-cutting target."The government is not efficient, and there is a lot of waste and fraud, so we feel confident that a 15% reduction can be done without affecting any of the critical government services," Musk said.ALSO READ: 'I haven't seen anybody...': Trump's hilarious exchange with reporter at Oval Office. Watch videoDOGE estimates it has saved US taxpayers $115 billion as of March 24 through actions including workforce reductions, asset sales and contract cancellations. “America will be solvent,” the DOGE chief declared. “The critical programs that people depend upon will work, and it’s going to be a fantastic future. And are we going to get a lot of complaints along the way? Absolutely.”“I think we will accomplish most of the work required to reduce the deficit by a trillion dollars within [130 days],” Musk told Baier. “Our goal is to reduce the waste and fraud by $4 billion a day, every day, seven days a week. And so far, we are succeeding.” “Unless this exercise is successful, the ship of America will sink,” Musk told Baier. “That’s why we’re doing it.”Musk's remark amid Tesla protestsThe remarks by Elon Musk comes at a time amid nationwide protests Tesla and as well as numerous lawsuits that claim DOGE acted without legal authority and violated privacy laws. Musk has defended his work leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), pushing back on mounting criticism of the massive disruption caused by DOGE in an unusual joint interview with other top leaders of the group.ALSO READ: World War III soon?

His team criticized the government's record-keeping, payment systems, and other infrastructure, vowing to introduce a more tech-savvy and user-friendly approach.
