Elon Musk Concludes White House Role, Remains Committed to 'Doge'
Elon Musk has announced the end of his time leading President Donald Trump's cost-cutting initiative, known as 'Doge'. In a statement posted on X, Musk thanked Trump for the opportunity to serve as a special government employee.
Musk's Departure Follows Budget Criticism
Musk's exit comes after he voiced concerns about Trump's budget bill, arguing that it would increase the federal deficit and potentially undermine the progress made by Doge. He had previously criticized the bill's multi-trillion dollar tax breaks and increased defense spending.
Focus Shifts Back to Tesla
As his designated time as a Special Government Employee concludes, Musk indicated that he will be reallocating his time to his other ventures, including Tesla. The electric car company recently cautioned investors about potential financial challenges due to evolving political sentiment.
