Elon Musk announced his departure from his role as a Special Government Employee in the Trump administration, where he focused on reducing wasteful spending. He thanked President Trump via social media and emphasized the ongoing importance of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). His exit follows his criticism of Trump's recent spending bill, which Musk argues increases the budget deficit and contradicts his cost-cutting efforts. Musk's influence on federal spending practices has been marked but he expressed disappointment with the direction of recent legislation.
As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending.
I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing.
