Elon Musk isn’t afraid to make changes.
On Thursday, Musk said he plans to step down from his role in DOGE in the spring.
He made more news on Friday, when he confirmed X, the former Twitter that he purchased in 2022, has been sold to xAI, his artificial intelligence company.
The head of Tesla said he plans on stepping away in May during a Fox News interview with six members of his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team.

Musk said he was overseeing a “revolution” in government.
“I think we will have accomplished most of the work required to reduce the deficit by $1 trillion within that time frame,” Musk said.
On Friday, Musk was excited about the sale of the social media company.
“xAI and X’s futures are intertwined. Today, we officially take the step to combine the data, models, compute, distribution and talent,” Musk posted on the site.
“X is the digital town square where more than 600M active users go to find the real-time source of ground truth and, in the last two years, has been transformed into one of the most efficient companies in the world, positioning it to deliver scalable future growth.”
