On May 29th, news broke that Musk announced the end of the Trump administration's 'Special Government Employee' term.
The White House also confirmed that his resignation process started tonight. Analysts believe that his departure is mainly due to differences with Trump on fiscal policy; before leaving, he publicly criticized Trump's bill, claiming it increased the deficit and undermined DOGE reform achievements.
During his tenure, Musk led large-scale layoffs at federal agencies, which sparked controversy but received a positive market response, with Tesla shareholders eager for his return.
Musk stated that he would focus on business projects moving forward and participate less in politics. Observers feel that although his time in politics was short, he had a significant impact on government operations, and the DOGE model might still be effective.
In my view, Musk manages the government with a business mindset; his ideas are bold but have many issues. Businesses prioritize efficiency, while governments must consider fairness and public welfare—it’s fundamentally a different matter. His radical reforms may show short-term results but are detrimental in the long run.
After his departure, it is highly likely that the effectiveness of DOGE reforms will not be sustained; reforms require institutional and policy support, and with his exit, the momentum for reform weakens. However, this experience has also provided new ideas for improving government efficiency, and the subsequent impacts still need to be observed.
