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.

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.

He argued that unless the U.S. drastically reduced its budget deficit, it was at risk of bankruptcy. He initially aimed to cut government spending by $2 trillion through DOGE's efforts, but later halved 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, but earlier reports questioned some of DOGE's claims.

Musk's departure, which was confirmed by White House officials, was expected and 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 has seen its performance decline, with investors calling on Musk to commit to a 40-hour working week.

Musk said it undermined the work of DOGE and would increase the deficit. In response, Trump said: "We will be negotiating that bill, and I'm not happy about certain aspects of it, but I'm thrilled by other aspects of it."
