Elon Musk's role in Trump administration under pressure after state election loss

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

70% : "Elon Musk and President Trump have both *publicly* stated that Elon will depart from public service as a special government employee when his incredible work at DOGE is complete," said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
57% : On Tuesday, the surrounding area -- which had voted for Trump in November -- was one of 10 counties to endorse Crawford amid record turnout.
50% : The president has told confidants that Musk's position as head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), originally expected to run into 2026, could be terminated early, according to a report by Politico. Shares in Musk's Tesla, which had earlier reported a huge drop in deliveries, rose almost 4 per cent on the news.
44% : But many Democrats -- who also managed to improve their numbers in two special congressional elections in solid-red Florida districts on Tuesday -- will see the Wisconsin win as further confirmation that Musk is far less popular than Trump and a Republican Achilles heel.
32% : Trump himself only endorsed Schimel 11 days before the vote and did not campaign in person in the state, despite entreaties to do so.
