Tech billionaire Elon Musk announced his departure from the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump late on Wednesday. It came as his 130-day limit as a "special government employee" was set to expire later in the week.

In a post on X, which he owns, Musk said: "As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending."

Having backed Trump's election campaign to the tune of $300m, Musk became a prominent part of the administration and led the newly created advisory board known as DOGE, or Department of Government Efficiency.

Musk initially aimed to cut government spending by $2 trillion, later halving that figure before again revising it to a goal of $150 billion. As of Wednesday, DOGE's website said it had made $175 billion of savings, though earlier reports questioned some of DOGE's claims.

Musk's departure came after he had suggested last week that he would spend less time on politics and more time on his companies, including Tesla and SpaceX. The former has been hit with a wave of protests and performance decline, with investors calling on Musk to commit to a 40-hour working week.

In one of his last acts in the administration, Musk criticized Trump's "big, beautiful bill" promising tax cuts while pledging to devote funds to signature projects such as a U.S.-Mexico border wall. Musk said it undermined the work of DOGE and would increase the deficit.

Musk's departure from the White House marks the end of a turbulent chapter in which he eviscerated government agencies and laid off thousands of people. Unfamiliar with Washington and how government functions, he accomplished far less than he had hoped.

Left narrative

Musk is one of the few people to realize and point out that unless the U.S. government becomes more fiscally responsible and cuts back its spending, it would go bankrupt and not be able to function. He deserves credit for bringing this issue to the forefront of the agenda.
