According to BlockBeats, Elon Musk announced on May 31 that the government efficiency team will be strengthened. Musk stated, "I will become an advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump."
Elon Musk has concluded his formal role as a special government employee leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under President Donald Trump. At a joint press conference on May 30, 2025, Musk and Trump announced the end of Musk's 130-day tenure, during which Musk claimed to have cut $150 billion in federal spending.
Despite stepping down from his official position, Musk expressed his intention to continue advising President Trump informally. He emphasized his ongoing commitment to supporting Trump as a friend and adviser.
Musk's tenure at DOGE was marked by ambitious goals, including an initial target of reducing government spending by $2 trillion. However, the actual savings fell short of this goal, leading to criticism over the effectiveness of the initiative.
While Musk's formal role has ended, his continued informal advisory capacity suggests an ongoing influence on the administration's policies.
