Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he will bid farewell to his controversial billionaire adviser, Elon Musk, during a joint press conference scheduled to be held at the White House on Friday.

The event is set to take place at 5:30 PM GMT, amid wide anticipation over what the conference might reveal about the background of this unexpected decision.

Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social:
“It will be his last day — but not really, because he will always be with us, helping us along the way.”
