Another one said people who believe Musk will disappear completely from the White House landscape are \u201cfooling themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Musk\u2019s leadership of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) has led to some controversial results.

The asset stood below $85,000 but shot up to a multi-day peak of just over $87,000 when the news broke.<\/p>\n<p>Musk has had a long history with the cryptocurrency industry, often influencing big price moves with some of his comments. Trump has become the first supportive US president of BTC and (some) altcoins but both the crypto and stock markets reacted well to Musk\u2019s potential departure.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_390511\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-390511\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/BTCUSD-2.png\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-390511\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/BTCUSD-2.png\" alt=\"BTCUSD.
