Elon Musk has officially stepped down from his role in the Trump administration, marking the end of a five-month tenure as a special government employee. Musk, who led the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), was tasked with reducing federal spending but faced significant challenges in achieving his ambitious goals.
His departure comes just a day after he publicly criticized a Republican-backed bill that includes tax cuts and spending reductions, calling it a "massive spending bill" that undermines his efforts. Musk expressed frustration with the federal bureaucracy, stating that the situation was "much worse than I realized".
Despite his exit, Musk remains optimistic about the future of DOGE, stating that its mission "will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government". As he shifts his focus back to his businesses, including Tesla and SpaceX, his brief but eventful stint in Washington leaves behind a legacy of attempted government reform and political controversy.
