The White House has announced that Elon Musk is stepping down from his role with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a short-term advisory position under President Trump.
Musk cited frustration with Washington politics and opposition to his reform efforts as key reasons. He criticized a new spending bill, saying it undermines DOGE’s mission to cut waste.
The White House confirmed that the President and Cabinet will continue leading the department. Musk, who originally aimed to cut $2 trillion in spending, scaled back to $150 billion before resigning.
He thanked Trump and expressed hope that DOGE’s work will continue to influence future policy.
