"He's just not physically present as much as he was. He'll be stepping back a little, but he's not abandoning it."

Elon Musk Has Already Packed Up and Left the White House

“Instead of meeting with him in person, I’m talking to him on the phone, but it’s the same net effect,” White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles told the New York Post in an interview discussing the Trump administration’s first 100 days.

“He’s not out of it altogether. He’s just not physically present as much as he was,” Wiles said.

Wiles appeared to shrug off Musk’s lack of physical presence within the White House, telling the Post that while the 53-year-old “hasn’t been here physically... it really doesn’t matter much.”

“The people that are doing this work are here doing good things and paying attention to the details. He’ll be stepping back a little, but he’s certainly not abandoning it. And his people are definitely not.”
