The World’s richest man made this announcement via his social media page
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 billionaire wrote on X, his social media platform.
“The DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government,” he said, referring to his “department of government efficiency.”
Furthermore, a White House official told Reuters it was accurate that Elon Musk is leaving the administration and his “off-boarding will begin tonight.”

His departure was quick and unceremonious. He did not have a formal conversation with Trump before announcing his exit, according to a source with knowledge of the matter, who added that his departure was decided “at a senior staff level.”
The wealthiest person in the world, Musk, has defended his position as an unelected official
who was given extraordinary power by Trump to dismantle sectors of the US government.
His 130-day Trump administration special government employee mandate was about to expire on May 30.
The administration and Musk have stated that DOGE will keep working to reorganize and reduce the size of the federal government.
The president’s flagship tax bill was recently criticized by him, who said it was too costly
and would further jeopardize his efforts to make the government more “efficient.”
“The federal bureaucracy situation is much worse than I realised,” Musk told the Washington Post on Tuesday.
“I thought there were problems, but it sure is an uphill battle trying to improve things in DC, to say the least.”
Meanwhile, Trump and DOGE have managed to cut nearly 12%, or 260,000, of the 2.3 million-strong federal civilian workforce
largely through threats of firings, buyouts, and early retirement offers, a Reuters review of agency departures found.
