Elon Musk has resigned from his role as a special government employee in the Trump administration, leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) aimed at reducing public-sector spending.
Musk voiced concerns about the administration's spending, criticizing a new bill supported by President Trump for potentially increasing the national deficit, contradicting his efforts to promote government efficiency.
His departure signifies a divide over fiscal policy direction, as the bill combining tax cuts and tougher immigration rules faces scrutiny for its long-term financial impact.
Musk's exit raises questions about the future of DOGE and highlights the challenges of merging tech efficiency with political agendas.
