During an interview with Fox Business host Larry Kudlow this week, Elon Musk said he plans to stay the Department of Government Efficiency for at least another year.

Which is exactly what Musk has said about the need to remove waste from federal programs.
"It's not optional," Musk said in February from the Oval Office. "It's essential."
