Elon Musk exited his role in the Department of Government Efficiency just hours after criticizing the Trump administration's latest spending bill.
Elon Musk announced his position with DOGE and the Trump administration has come to an end on a post on X, formerly Twitter.
“DOGE’s over-promising and underperforming results damaged not only Musk’s reputation but also the standing of the Trump administration as a whole, and beyond that, probably the reputations and chances for success of future governmental reform cost-cutting measures,” presidential historian David Pietrusza told the Washington Examiner.
Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, worked for Trump’s DOGE effort after spending over $250 million helping to get him elected.
