Federal rules state that a special government employee (SGE) like Musk can only be in place for up to 130 consecutive days. In Musk’s case, that would appear to make his leaving date May 30, the 130th day from Trump’s inauguration.

Though his time with DOGE could soon end, it remains unclear how Elon Musk's influence in the White House will change.

The White House rebutted reports that Elon Musk would leave the administration before the end of his 130-day special government employee appointement.
