Elon Musk has officially stepped down from his role in the Trump administration, bringing an end to his involvement in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a cost-cutting initiative he helped lead.
His departure, announced on his platform X, ends a controversial chapter marked by large-scale layoffs, dismantling of agencies, and legal challenges. In his announcement, Musk thanked President Trump for the opportunity to serve and indicated plans to refocus on his business ventures.

Although Musk initially aimed to cut $2 trillion in spending, he gradually lowered that target to $150 billion. He often clashed with other Trump officials and received strong political backlash for his reforms.
Musk's role was always intended to be temporary, and he had signaled a return to focusing on his companies — Tesla, SpaceX, and X. His decision came shortly after criticizing Trump’s major spending bill, calling it counterproductive to DOGE’s mission. While stepping away from politics, Musk expressed hope that DOGE would continue growing into a “way of life” in government.
