US: Elon Musk Announces Exit From DOGE After Criticising Trump Admin's 'Big, Beautiful' Spending Bills

Musk's announcement of departure notably came just a day after his first ever criticism of President Donald Trump during a CBS interview, where he said the president's signature "big, beautiful" spending bill increases budget deficit and undermines the DOGE team's work.

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk on Wednesday announced his exit from the US government as he decided to step down from his role as a top adviser to President Donald Trump after spearheading efforts with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to reduce and streamline the federal bureaucracy.

Taking it to X, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO posted, 바카라œAs my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending. The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.바카라

In 2024 US presidential elections, Musk was the largest donor to Trump's election campaign who also made appearances in his poll campaigns and stood firmly by his side when he assumed office for his second term as the US President.

However, his announcement of departure notably came just a day after his first ever criticism of Trump during a CBS interview, where he said the President's signature "big, beautiful" spending bill increases budget deficit and undermines the DOGE team's work. "A bill can be big, or it can be beautiful. But I don't know if it can be both. My personal opinion," Musk said.

After Musk바카라™s CBS interview, which came out Tuesday night, Trump on Wednesday, while speaking in the Oval Office, defended his agenda by talking about the delicate politics involved with negotiating the legislation.

바카라œI바카라™m not happy about certain aspects of it, but I바카라™m thrilled by other aspects of it,바카라 he said while hinting that more changes could be made.

바카라œWe바카라™re going to see what happens,바카라 he said. 바카라œIt바카라™s got a way to go.바카라
