Elon Musk is leaving the Trump administration after criticizing president's 'big beautiful bill'
Briefly

Elon Musk has announced his departure from his role as a Special Government Employee advising President Trump. He thanked Trump for the opportunity to improve government efficiency but expressed dissatisfaction with the major spending bill linked to Trump's agenda. Musk criticized the legislation as wasteful, claiming it contravenes the work of his Department of Government Efficiency. This critical stance is mirrored by some Republican lawmakers, who share his concerns about the potential consequences of the bill on the federal deficit and overall governance.
"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 think a bill can be big or it could be beautiful, but I don't know if it could be both."
