Elon Musk has officially announced his departure from the Trump administration after a tumultuous tenure marked by rising tensions and disagreements, particularly over a controversial spending bill. Musk, who has distanced himself from Trump during his time in Washington, expressed disappointment with the new budget, claiming it undermines efforts related to DOGE. His exit marks a significant moment as once-close ties appear to have soured, leading to speculation about the future of DOGE and the impact on Trump’s policies. While Musk leaves the administration with his reputation battered, he has confirmed that his involvement with DOGE will continue despite his retreat from government work.
