#马斯克宣布离开特朗普政府 On May 28, local time, Elon Musk, head of the Government Efficiency Department, posted on the social media platform X that he is about to leave the Trump administration and will no longer serve as a special government employee.
In the article, Musk thanked US President Trump and said that the Government Efficiency Department team will continue to work across the government. As a special government employee, Musk's term is limited to 130 days, starting from January 20, and his term ends at the end of May at the latest.
Musk is regarded as a close ally of Trump. He leads the Government Efficiency Department in the new US government and is directly involved in drastically cutting federal spending and laying off federal employees. But recently, the two have exposed differences in federal fiscal policy. The massive tax and spending bill passed by the US House of Representatives has received strong support from Trump, but Musk expressed dissatisfaction with it, saying that the bill will increase the federal deficit and "run counter to the goals that the Government Efficiency Department is promoting."
In addition, when Musk participated in government work, the development of some of his companies was not optimistic, and Tesla's sales in Europe plummeted. Recently, Musk has repeatedly stated that he will pay more attention to his companies, reduce his political workload, and return to his business empire.
