#ElonMuskDOGEDeparture the recent departure of Elon Musk from his position as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the administration of Donald Trump. This department was created with the aim of reducing public spending and modernizing federal bureaucracy.
Musk took on this role as "Special Government Employee" with a mandate limited to 130 days, which began on January 20, 2025, and concluded at the end of May. During his tenure, he implemented aggressive budget-cutting measures, including the elimination of programs and mass layoffs, achieving estimated savings of $175 billion, although well below his initial target of $2 trillion.
Musk's departure was also marked by internal tensions, especially after his criticism of a budget bill promoted by Trump, which he described as contradictory to the objectives of DOGE. Despite his departure, Musk expressed that the mission of DOGE will continue and that he will continue to advise the president informally.
On social media, the hashtag has been used to debate the impact of his management, the political implications of his departure, and the future of the government efficiency initiatives he promoted.
