Is Elon Musk under pressure to exit DOGE after Wisconsin embarrassment? White House says, 'Garbage'

Democrats saw a high-profile victory in Wisconsin, where Susan Crawford defeated GOP-backed Brad Svhimel in the judicial race. Through his PAC, Musk poured over $21 million into the campaign backing Schimel, he held a townhall where he handed out $1 million checks and other giveaways to registered voters who signed a petition or referred others to sign.
Musk's money made the Supreme Court election one of the most closely watched ones and Musk said the race would determine "the future of America and Western civilization". It was electorally the first big test of the second Trump term.
Following the defeat, Musk had to face a wave of gloating on X while the Trump administration busied itself with the Liberation Day announcement. The Democrats’ official account posted a picture of Musk donning a cheese head and accompanied with the single word “Loser”.

“As a little girl, I never could have imagined that I’d be taking on the richest man in the world for justice in Wisconsin. And we won,” Crawford said after the win.
Well-known Elon-hater Jasmine Crockett, a Democrat House member from Texas, posted: “Well well well, I guess Wisconsin agreed on the message for old Elon: “F off!,” she wrote.

Trump confirmed Musk would be back to his business

After the election result, it was reported that Trump told his inner circle that Musk would soon leave his role and will go back to his business. Elon Musk too confirmed the same before Trump that his DOGE team was nearing the completion of their primary objective.

Garbage: White House

The White House maintained that Elon Musk was not the administrator of DOGE and is a special government employee who joins the government for a short and specific period of time -- 130 days or less. The tenure of a special government employee, however, may increase.
After Politico's Rachel Bade claimed it as a 'scoop', press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the "scoop" is garbage because this is already known. "Elon Musk and President Trump have both *publicly* stated that Elon will depart from public service as a special government employee when his incredible work at DOGE is complete," Karoline said.
