International Desk : Elon Musk, one of the world’s richest individuals, CEO of Tesla, and owner of the social media platform X, has announced his departure from the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. A White House official confirmed the news to Reuters, and Musk himself made the announcement via a post on X.
Musk was serving as the head of the newly established “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) under the Trump administration. The primary objective of DOGE was to reduce federal government spending and workforce, though it was not a formal government department.
Following his inauguration for a second term in January, President Trump appointed Musk to lead DOGE. Musk’s tenure, which carried a 130-day mandate, is set to conclude on May 30. The White House has stated that DOGE’s efforts to reorganize the federal government and reduce expenditure will continue even after Musk’s departure.
In a post on X, Musk thanked President Trump, noting that his role as a special government employee is nearing its end. He further stated that DOGE’s initiatives would grow stronger over time and become an integral part of government operations.
Musk’s appointment had sparked widespread discussion and criticism in the United States. His announcement of leaving the administration has similarly triggered fresh conversations across the country.
