Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.Elon Musk said he will continue to advise President Donald Trump even after stepping away from the Department of Government Efficiency effort he has spearheaded.“I expect to remain a friend and an adviser, and hopefully, if there’s anything the president wants me to do, I’m at the president’s service,” Musk, the chief executive officer of Tesla Inc. and SpaceX, said alongside Trump during a press conference Friday at the White House. “This is not the end of DOGE, but really the beginning.”The comments raise questions over the extent of Musk’s plans to pull back from Washington and return to running his business empire. As the head of DOGE, Musk’s efforts to slash spending and cut government jobs has drawn pushback from federal workers and Democratic lawmakers as well as a consumer backlash to his business interests.Bloomberg Washington Correspondents Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz deliver insight and analysis on the latest headlines from the White House and Capitol Hill, including conversations with influential lawmakers and key figures in politics and policy. On this edition, Joe and Kailey speak with: Bloomberg's Joe Deaux. Bloomberg Politics Contributors Rick Davis and Jeanne Sheehan Zaino.
