Elon Musk is stepping down from his role leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), citing the job as an “uphill battle.” Musk admitted he spent too much time on politics. Despite DOGE’s claimed savings, the initiative faced legal challenges and criticism over its effectiveness and accuracy.
As 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.
