Elon Musk is preparing to exit the US federal government, the Washington Post reported on Monday.

The publication noted that the date of Musk's departure is still unknown, but that his status as a special government employee will expire in May.

The report also noted that Musk's departure will come as the federal government has a patchwork of inconsistent policies regarding bureaucrats' productivity.

Musk was made a "special government employee" in May, which allows him to potentially avoid disclosure rules about conflicts of interest and finances that apply to regular government employees.

Musk is moving on, Trump tells advisers

US President Donald Trump has signalled to his cabinet and to the public in recent weeks that Musk will move on from the Department of Government Efficiency.

"I think he's amazing, but I also think he's got a big company to run. At some point, he's going to be going back. He wants to," he told reporters.

Politico, citing sources close to the president, reported on April 2 that Musk and Trump had decided on a date for the Tesla CEO's departure, but did not reveal when that would be.

Based on a 130-day term, Musk's time as a special government employee would be set to end by the end of May.

He told Fox News in an interview this month that he was confident he would finish most of the work to cut $1 trillion in federal spending.
