Trump privately indicates Musk to step back from administration after  government employee status expires: Sources - ABC News

In a moment that has sent shockwaves through both political and tech circles, Elon Musk has once again captured national attention—this time by delivering an unexpected announcement that reportedly left Donald Trump’s entire cabinet stunned.

The billionaire entrepreneur, known for his bold moves and disruptive innovations, made the announcement during a high-profile economic summit in Florida attended by former President Trump and members of his post-presidency advisory team, including several cabinet veterans.

Musk, appearing as the keynote speaker at the 2025 American Prosperity Forum, unveiled plans for what he called the largest clean energy infrastructure project in U.S.history.

The project, spearheaded by Tesla Energy and SpaceX collaborators, involves the creation of a nationwide solar and battery grid system, aimed at fully replacing U.S.reliance on fossil fuels within the next 10 years.

According to Musk, the initiative will generate over 1.5 million new jobs, reduce national energy costs by up to 40%, and dramatically cut carbon emissions—all while being funded through a combination of private investment and minimal federal support.

Still, several Republican governors in energy-transitioning states have reportedly reached out to Musk’s team for pilot programs, signaling that the tech mogul’s influence continues to transcend traditional political lines.

This announcement comes at a time when Elon Musk’s role in American politics is becoming increasingly visible.

From his controversial purchase of X (formerly Twitter) to ongoing debates about his sway over AI policy and defense contracting, Musk has become a wildcard force—neither fully aligned with the left nor the right.

His latest energy initiative, if successful, could dramatically shift the conversation around infrastructure, innovation, and America’s global competitiveness—putting pressure on both political parties to adapt or be outpaced by private-sector ambition.

While Trump himself has not issued a public statement, insiders say the former president was “visibly surprised” but “respectful” during Musk’s presentation.

It remains unclear whether this announcement will lead to future collaboration or conflict between the two high-profile figures.

What is certain is that Elon Musk has once again inserted himself directly into the heart of national conversation, with a vision that could reshape not only America’s energy future—but its political landscape as well.
