Elon Musk leaves his government post: thanks to Trump, criticism of the projects

The famous entrepreneur and head of the technology giant Elon Musk announced that he was leaving his official position in the US government. On the night of May 29, he made a statement about this on his page on the X (formerly Twitter) social network. According to Musk, he ended his work as a “special government employee”.

— I would like to thank President Donald Trump for the opportunity to increase efficiency and reduce waste during this time, — Musk wrote.

He also touched on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which he headed. According to him, this initiative will be further strengthened in the future and will become a way of life for all government agencies.

A bill that will hit DOGE

A day earlier, on May 28, CBS TV channel presented a fragment of an interview with Elon Musk on the X page. The interview will be broadcast in full on Sunday, June 1. In it, the entrepreneur expressed his opinion on the new draft law being discussed in the United States.

Musk, in particular, sharply criticized the “big and beautiful” bill proposed by Donald Trump. In his opinion, this document could significantly increase government spending and weaken his DOGE project.

— I was disappointed when I saw this project. Such a broad and expensive law is completely contrary to the philosophy of DOGE, — said Musk.

Activity is over, influence remains

Ilon Musk's participation in government has never been associated with an official ministry or classic political position, but he has promoted initiatives aimed at increasing efficiency within the state and reforming the bureaucratic system. The name DOGE (Government Efficiency) has caused widespread discussion due to its similarity to the humorous cryptocurrency Dogecoin on the Internet.

Now Elon Musk is expected to continue his activities in the private sector and focus on new technological directions. But he has not completely withdrawn from the political arena. His statements, statements and comments on the X page often cause heated discussions in the public.
