The article promotes a Daily Mail newsletter by recounting Elon Musk’s final days in the Trump administration, including a farewell-style drinks gathering in his West Wing office shortly before he left the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). It presents his five-month stint as turbulent, marked by federal job cuts, legal disputes and clashes with members of Donald Trump’s cabinet, followed by a public feud between Musk and Trump.

According to the article, Musk poured Tesla Tequila for about a dozen senior deputies on a Thursday night in May 2025, although those present reportedly did not realise it was effectively a goodbye. It says a former senior DOGE official has written a memoir describing the episode, while many former staff members have kept a low profile; the piece primarily serves as a teaser for the Daily Mail’s DC Insider newsletter.
