It comes just hours after President Donald Trump told a press conference Musk will remain a close adviser, even after the Tesla CEO leaves the administration following a four-month tenure in Washington.
Trump said: "Elon is really not leaving. He's going to be back and forth."
Meanwhile, Musk said: "I expect to remain a friend and an adviser, and certainly, if there's anything the president wants me to do, I'm at the president's service."

Musk said on Friday that downsizing the government had proven more difficult than he expected, blaming what he called the "banal evil of bureaucracy."
However, he also expressed confidence that Doge would eventually achieve much deeper savings.
"This is not the end of Doge but really the beginning," he said.
