Elon Musk has announced his departure from the Trump administration on after his 130-day tenure comes to an end.
Elon Musk worked as a special government employee leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the Donald Trump administration but that has come to an end now.
In an X post, Elon Musk sent his appreciation message to President Trump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending, claiming DOGE’s mission would continue to strengthen.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s exit followed his public criticism of the President’s bill, a spending package he said undermined DOGE’s efforts by increasing the federal deficit.

It is a public knowledge that Elon Musk will now shift his attention back to his businesses, Tesla and SpaceX, amid declining Tesla sales and public approval.
