Elon Musk Announces Exit from Trump Administration

Elon Musk has announced his departure from the Trump administration, ending his role as a Special Government Employee leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk thanked Trump for the opportunity but expressed disappointment with a new trillion-dollar spending bill that contradicts DOGE's savings efforts. Despite DOGE’s $175 billion in cuts, the bill could raise the deficit by $3.9 trillion by 2034. Musk’s relationship with Trump cooled, and internal clashes reportedly led to his exit. Facing public criticism and low approval ratings, Musk plans to reduce political involvement and refocus on his companies Tesla, xAI, and the Starship program.
