Elon Musk Leaves the $DOGE Department Amid Controversy Over Federal Reform Agenda

Elon Musk has officially completed his term as head of the Government Efficiency Department ($DOGE), resigning after serving the maximum of 130 days allowed for special public employees. His term began on Inauguration Day, January 20, 2025, under the Trump administration.

During his tenure in \u003cc-27/\u003e, Musk led an ambitious campaign to streamline federal operations. His efforts resulted in mass layoffs, agency mergers, and an aggressive cost-cutting agenda aimed at reducing bureaucratic inefficiencies. While supporters praised the measures as bold and necessary, critics questioned the veracity of the reported savings and highlighted the human and institutional cost of such rapid restructuring.

Musk's departure comes shortly after he publicly expressed opposition to President Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" — a sweeping tax and spending measure estimated to add more than $3.3 trillion to the national deficit. Musk criticized the bill for undermining the core mission of $DOGE, citing it as a key factor in his decision to step away from public service and refocus on his private ventures.

In a farewell message posted on X (formerly Twitter), Musk expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to lead the department and optimism about its long-term impact. "The mission of \u003cc-20/\u003e will only grow stronger over time," he wrote, "as it evolves into a fundamental principle at all levels of government."

No successor has been named yet to lead the $DOGE. According to the original executive order, the department is scheduled to be officially dissolved on July 4, 2026.
