🚨Musk announces resignation from US government position, is the DOGE department a historical footnote?
White House officials confirm: Musk will officially resign as 'Special Government Employee' tonight local time, ending his direct collaboration with the Trump administration.
📌 Musk expressed on X: 'I want to thank President Trump for giving me this opportunity to help cut wasteful spending.' He also mentioned that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which he led the creation of, has gradually become the new normal in government operations.
However, this symbolic department of the 'efficiency revolution' is heading into the unknown with Musk's departure.
💡 Why is this worth paying attention to?
1️⃣ Musk is not a bureaucrat; he is an action-oriented person: during his tenure, he drastically cut budgets, yet criticized Trump's tax cuts for potentially exacerbating the deficit. This shows he is someone willing to 'speak the truth to his own people.'
2️⃣ The DOGE department is called Efficiency, but its inspiration is not unrelated to Dogecoin: there were rumors that he would introduce blockchain thinking within the government to guide transparency reforms. Does this mean that 'meme culture' has truly invaded the system?
3️⃣ Returning to the corporate battlefield: Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, XAI... his influence will flow back from politics to industry, and in the future, AI, space, energy, and even the financial markets may once again welcome the Musk whirlwind.
🧠 My observation:
Musk's departure symbolizes the conclusion of the experimental phase of 'civilian innovative forces intervening in government efficiency,' but what remains is a heavy blow to the traditional system.
When DOGE is not just a coin, but a department, you and I have witnessed a historically absurd yet realistic fusion.
👀 What's next? Wait and see if Musk will make another move before the 2025 presidential election.
