Several members of billionaire Elon Musk’s government efficiency team at the Interior Department are leaving the agency, joining other Musk associates and early President Trump appointees exiting agencies elsewhere in government.
Stephanie Holmes, who had been acting as the Interior’s chief human capital officer, and Katrine Trampe, an advisor to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, are both leaving the department, an agency spokesperson confirmed.
"Stephanie and Katrine have demonstrated an unwavering dedication to efficiency that paved the way for a new era of quality and productivity at Interior,” the spokesperson said in a statement. They didn’t provide specifics on the timing of their departures. “We are deeply appreciative of their valuable contributions to the Department and for their commitment to improving the lives of the American people."
