On May 29, 2025, Elon Musk announced his departure from the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), concluding his 130-day tenure as a Special Government Employee. Expressing gratitude to President Trump, Musk acknowledged the opportunity to work on reducing government waste. However, his exit follows public criticism of Trump's "big beautiful bill," a legislative package combining tax cuts and increased immigration enforcement. Musk argued that the bill's substantial spending contradicts DOGE's mission to streamline federal expenditures and exacerbates the national deficit. His departure highlights tensions between fiscal responsibility and expansive legislative agendas within the administration. (PC: Reuters)
