Elon Musk is leaving DOGE.
Elon Musk is leaving DOGE
Elon Musk is leaving his position as de facto head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), announcing his departure via X on Wednesday. An anonymous White House official confirmed Musk's departure to AP.
"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," Musk wrote. "The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government."

Though Musk stated that his time at DOGE was "scheduled," there was no clear indication as to exactly how long he would be involved with it prior to this week's announcement. While it was revealed in February that White House official Amy Gleason had been appointed DOGE's acting administrator some time earlier, in practical terms Musk has remained in charge until now.
Musk previously indicated he would be reducing his involvement with DOGE during Tesla earnings call in April. The billionaire stated that he would "significantly" lower the amount of time he spent on DOGE in May, as well as increase his attention on Tesla. However, at the time he drew short of saying he would quit DOGE, pledging to stay for "as long as it's useful" and President Donald Trump wanted him to remain.
It now seems though Musk believes that time has come to an end. While Trump has not yet issued a public statement regarding his departure, the news comes a day after Musk uncharacteristically criticised the president's tax bill, stating that it "increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing."
Though Musk initially claimed that DOGE would cut government spending by a minimum of $2 trillion, the reality has fallen far short from this. In April he revised DOGE's goal down to $150 billion, a mere fraction of the cuts initially promised. Meanwhile, U.S. government agencies have been thrown into turmoil by DOGE's actions, with over 280,000 government workers laid off. DOGE has also worked to dismantle several agencies entirely, including the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), a foreign aid organisation.
Musk is expected to return his attention to his various companies, including Tesla, X, and SpaceX. Such companies have been publicly floundering in the past few months, struggling against severe reputational damage caused by Musk's widely unpopular political work.
Tesla sales have plummeted across the globe, the electric vehicle company experiencing a 71 percent drop in profit during Q1 2025. Social media platform X isn't faring much better, losing millions of users while advertisers fled, though Musk denied reports that he told employees that they were "barely breaking even." SpaceX doesn't appear to have suffered quite as much, however the explosion of its latest Starship test flight on Tuesday was less than ideal — particularly considering it was the company's third "rapid unscheduled disassembly" in a row.
Speaking to Ars Technica prior to both SpaceX's launch and the announcement he'd be leaving DOGE, Musk acknowledged that he'd been spending too much time on politics rather than running his companies.
"I think I probably did spend a bit too much time on politics, [though] it's less than people would think," said Musk. "It's not like I left the companies. It was just relative time allocation that probably was a little too high on the government side, and I've reduced that significantly in recent weeks."
Apparently, Elon was becoming a liability because Elon suggested that Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill might undo all the savings from his DOGE efforts!
ReplyDeleteThose, who remember Trump’s first administration, will recall that he fired a lot of staff whose biggest problems were that they “argued” policy with HIM!
Or for Elon to loose so much value of Tesla was too much for him to take.
DeleteAh yes, we can only hope!!
Delete🏆DOGE🥇MR.ELON MUSK🇺🇸GOOD JOB IN STOP 🛑 DEMOCRATS COMUNISTA CORRUPTS IN AMERICA🇺🇸AND WORLD🌍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

DeleteCalled it! It was just a matter of when.
ReplyDeleteI heard he wants to focus on Tesla's Robonazis, eh, I mean, Robotaxis... 🫢
ReplyDeleteThe jealousy runs deep in his one. Grow up
DeleteHitch a ride on your rocket
ReplyDeleteThe best that can happen is for him to take a sabbatical- on Mars
ReplyDeleteyes, permanent residency!
Deleteour gain would be Mars loss.
Deletewrong !
Deleteand take you with him.
DeleteCare to join?
DeleteWill he take the next flight in his rocket to inhabit Mars?
ReplyDeletehope so
Delete🎶Who let the doge out??🎶
ReplyDeleteAs the tariff plan to make gazillions didn’t work he quit 😂
ReplyDeleteHe was always only scheduled for 5 months dummy. DOGE still remains active in the government.
Deletehe didn't quit. His contact expired dummy. Lmfao
DeleteIs he taking Big Balls and his minions with him?
ReplyDeleteLeaving before he's run out of town??
ReplyDeleteIs he taking his Tesla dealership on the White House lawn with him?
ReplyDeleteBut his AI is staying 🤣
ReplyDeleteThere really would be a free world the day Elon blows his Trumpet n tweets about it from the wind storms of Mars.
ReplyDeleteI'm a Martian at heart. Home is best. There where we bury the dirt once n be forever.
Deleteand takes you with him
Deletelol dude must have harmed dearly for you to want him
DeleteAnd musk to leave 😂😂😂
Thank you for service, Mr. Musk!
ReplyDeleteSend him up on the next spacex test launch....💥
ReplyDeleteI thought his main focus was impregnating beautiful women and dodging child support.
ReplyDeleteHe’s already gutted the agencies that were investigating him. And he left teenie boppers in charge of DOGE. 🙄
ReplyDeleteWeird as he said he wasn't part of it, but also leading it, which would go against the constitution and break many laws...
ReplyDeleteGreat man. Total hero
ReplyDeletei think tou mean ZERO....not hero.....nice try!
DeleteThis was a temporary position right from the beginning.
ReplyDeleteyep. Federal law put a max of 130 days
DeleteHe already got all the information and contracts he needed , mission accomplished
ReplyDeleteand dropped his criminal sec charges,For 300 million to trump
DeleteThat didn’t last long…
ReplyDeleteIt was his version of a hit and run
ReplyDeleteA lot of respect to Elon 🫶🫡
ReplyDeleteNow leave the planet
ReplyDeleteor try to accomplish any noteworthy yourself..
Deletesfb
DeleteHe eliminated billions in waste and fraud. Say “Thank you for serving the country.”
Deletehe’s working on it-
Deleteair wasters on here
DeleteGood take Trump with you
ReplyDeleteIf I were on the Board, I'd ask him to just divest. He's profoundly disliked now, and there's no fixing that. He is a ball-and-chain on the Tesla brand (which is already having issues because the product, as it turns out, is crap).
ReplyDeleteyou all just say what you don't know tesla if forever
DeleteSo what do you think. How long till 50T in debt?
ReplyDeleteHe got what he came for, but he don’t trust Trump either, anymore..
ReplyDeleteDid he save trillions in his path of destruction? Of course not. His companies are positioned to receive new contracts from the rubble and he’ll have more free time to blow something else up.
ReplyDeleteContinue the boycott!
ReplyDeleteGo to Mars…it needs you more than we do.
ReplyDeleteWell he managed to create chaos in the agencies and departments that were looking into his contracts etc. So his job is done, not that it was a job, he paid for the chance to do it. Why not, when you know the guy in the oval office is the most corrupt pos and would take the money and allow it.
ReplyDeleteWho ? Say who ? Really do we need those I can't hear cars when they run hearing and vision age people and chatty little kids whith youth parents listening to their ear bubs in our lives... what's the bet those people don't need ears to run them down unawares... "Gotcha "
ReplyDeleteHe is twisted. Even smiles upside down.
ReplyDeleteWho else smiles upside down?
He paid 250mil+ to get access, he shut down the regulation agencies going after him for criminal activity, he secured his government contracts and let the world know he supports Nazis. It’s all theater
all narcissists smile upside down it's called smirking 😏
DeleteWell he got money from DOGE, now to go spend it.
ReplyDeleteWith 2 big Egos like that I knew their Love wouldn't survive!!
ReplyDeleteWe aren’t finish with you yet musk watch your back boy
ReplyDeleteThe damage has been done.
ReplyDeleteMission partially accomplished.
DeleteDo not think for a moment we will ever forget the harm you have caused, done and inflicted on others
ReplyDeleteBwahaha, the democrats hates him for exposing their idols.
ReplyDeleteThis man is not an inventor or an innovator, he’s an opportunistic hack schooled in the ways of exploiting people for profit learned in the emerald mines of South Africa. His actions tell the whole story.
ReplyDeleteIm leaving the internet
ReplyDeleteWe need to make sure he leaves this country. A hot flaming mess like the one he installed in office
ReplyDeleteThis billionaire has now set his sights to tank Tesla as we know it to be especially now that they can't get rid of these trash trucks that are polluting the planet I meant cyber trucks taking that mall parking lots cuz they can't sell them.
ReplyDeletetesla is forever stop the hate on someone hardwork and get use to it
DeleteWon’t help make the companies better. Still associated to Musk. 💩💀
ReplyDeleteThe Resignation of the Prime Minister of USA, leaving many people there jobless. Dodging!
ReplyDeleteMike Pillow 2.0.Good god this guy is such a weenie!
ReplyDeletePlease get on one of your rockets and head for planets unknown !!!! just saying !!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck trying to rehabilitate your image.
ReplyDeleteHe's getting low on kids so he needs to focus on sperminating more spawnlings for his future life on Mars.
ReplyDeleteWho gives Fxxx
ReplyDeleteHey Elon, no one likes you still.
ReplyDeletewhat you mean
Deletespeaking for yourself
DeleteSo many sick people, I feel sorry for you.
ReplyDeleteTesla is over.
ReplyDelete... and the government is going right back to spending your tax money like it’s going out of style... and because of that, it is.
ReplyDeleteHe's still an AH and always will be.
ReplyDeleteStolen all he can
ReplyDeleteHe’s raped us for enough of our money and information. He may come back on a few late nights. 
ReplyDeleteIt was always supposed to end now. By law, his last day as a Special Government Employee was always May 30.
ReplyDeleteba,why there are alot of working people in US, how is that ?
ReplyDeleteThe only reason those companies haven't done worse was because he's been distracted burning down the gov't.
ReplyDeleteWith every bit of your personal information, our government secrets, our military plans….
ReplyDeletehttps://www.facebook.com/share/v/1BrxsDVxpy/?mibextid=D5vuiz
ReplyDeleteI think he'll become unglued any day now and will mentally implode so that he too needs medicating and close observation for the rest of his existence.
ReplyDeletehe's already so fully medicated that's why we're in the position we're in.
Delete🚀🪨
ReplyDeleteHe will still receive $8M a day from the Trump America.

ReplyDeleteToo late! Even MAGA hates his guts 🤦🏻♂️🤦

ReplyDeleteA pasty white blobfish can only survive out of water for so long. Back to the sea with this bloated ketamine junkie. Maybe he’ll finally float home on a tide of his own racist delusion and apartheid emerald Greed.
ReplyDeleteI think it's finally dawned on him that other than Trump, Putin and Netanyahu, Musk is the most hated person on the planet.
He shat himself and left.
ReplyDeletehttps://t.me/elonmusk10107
ReplyDeleteSpecial Government Employee status is only valid for 130 days. He's not doing anyone a favor by leaving and he's shown us how horrid he really is.
ReplyDelete(8647)
nasty
Deletemusk really is, it’s crazy
DeleteAt least he added to the debt and fired veterans
ReplyDeleteElon did not leave the federal government, don't buy the hype
ReplyDeleteIt’s also misdirection for him to suggest he has no further influence. He has vacuumed up data and will continue to exert influence through Vought.
I think folks are not aware of Vought’s ownership of DOGE. People have been programmed to think it’s Musk and that it “failed” — the reality is more nefarious.
Overall it seems like that partnership went well for them, regardless of the public spin. Elon will continue to be involved despite the news.
If Trump badmouths then it's all for show and nothing more.

Frenemies are used for outright deception, public drama which attracts viewers who love to watch infighting, and more.
Is my informations are correct, he is an undocumented immigrant. He should leave the U. S. and should go back where he came from!
ReplyDeleteSouth Africa where they’re committing genocide against whites? If he wasn’t already a citizen he’d clearly qualify for asylum here with what’s going on in his home country.
Deletewhat are you smoking their dude? Must be glue. Genocide in South Africa
Deletelmaooooo
DeleteWell it's not
DeleteIt will probably explode. Be careful.
ReplyDeleteHe has stolen federal data that will provide his companies unparalleled advantages for decades and killed all government investigations into his misdeeds.
ReplyDeleteMission accomplished.
he's stolen what he wanted.
ReplyDeleteexactly. His minions are still within the agencies and he's got all the personal and confidential data he needs
Deletewhat worries me is what he wants to do with all that info. where's a good radical hacker when you need one, to take down his computers?
DeleteI agree...it's terrifying that Musk, his 20 year old accomplices and the PayPal Mafia have control over such sensitive data.
DeleteSwastikars getting chainsawed instead
ReplyDeleteHis 130 days by federal law is up, everyone knew this was coming. It’s no surprise. You guys are vile nasty creatures, you labeled and destroyed this mans imagine and businesses because he left the democrat party for opposition politics, this is how you people treat those who leave your bubble. Good god, and you call maga the cultists….
ReplyDeletei suggest you turn off the entertainment news and take a few books with you down the hole to educate yourself on what is really happening.
DeleteI suggest you do the same. You’ve shown yourself twice now to be reactive. Maybe learn the importance of perspective over perception.

Deletecrawl back into your hole of hate. You can twiddle there mo better
Deletehate? You’re on the side that’s hating on a man.

Deletehmm… look at you spamming my comment three times with your initials.
DeletePerhaps you have 💩4🧠 thinking you were being clever.
DOGE isn’t real. It was set up illegally. His every action was illegal.
ReplyDeleteits real okay?
Deleteonly in the literal sense. Legally it is not.
DeleteAmerican hero. Thank you for exposing Dem theft & fraud.
ReplyDeleteThank you Elon Musk!!

Monster, That's how the fight started.
He'll always keep making babies so he will have one just the right size to use as a helmet to protect him from sniper bullets. ⛑️ 🪖
ReplyDeleteAnd his X also 🤣✋🏾 who cares
ReplyDeletewhy do you care? You’re not getting reparations
DeleteCan’t he just leave earth
ReplyDeleteBut his space crafts keep self destructing, so too risky 🤣🤣🤣
Deleteno cause then he couldn’t make guys like you wish they were him.
DeleteDon’t let the door hit ya…
ReplyDeleteWill he still keep that bedroom he was given in the Whitehouse?
ReplyDeleteWe already knew this what you trying to spin it as?
ReplyDeleteWhat was that sonic boom by Dragon cargo capsule 4 days ago, saturday 10:41p may 24th 2025 for? It took the gravity out of me wt f
ReplyDeleteHe needs to finish bankrupting Tesla and then work on bankrupting SpaceX and Starlink.
ReplyDeleteHow did society get so low that rich people are idolized.
ReplyDeletethat’s literally how it’s always been?
DeleteTragically.
DeleteI wonder how much malware and backdoor software he’s left behind?
ReplyDeleteBecause he gas all the data and all the investigations in to his companies are gone.
ReplyDeletewhat ? School
Deletetypo. Musk has all US citizens data. That’s worth billions and also all the investigations in to his companies is now gone. Why wouldn’t he leave? He got what he wanted.
Deleteyou are a bot. What’s your point ??
DeleteSpecial advisors have a time limit, this was always known to be temporary. Still didn't stop the retards of the left screeching about president elon over and over again
ReplyDeleteIn Europe we won't forget and forgive him his gestures! I hope Tesla and X will pay a very heavy price!
ReplyDeleteI wish he was leaving Earth. I hear Mars is nice this time of year
ReplyDeleteHe can’t leave soon enough!!
ReplyDeleteI'd be more satisfied if he left Earth.
ReplyDeletelol! THAT is a great response, thank you. No name calling, no hate. Thanks.
DeleteHe’s leaving because he can only stay on so long, he advised the president 🙄got paid big money and got everybody’s personal info then left, he got all the info he could possibly use.
ReplyDeletetalking about EVERYONES INFO which includes everything. But if you feel fine with your info being in the hands of Elon Musks workers having ALL the access to all your very private info then that’s fine. Btw are you referring to “you people” as Hispanics or you people as in the people who think Elon Musk shouldn’t have had any access to security info like government or private citizen information?
DeleteI'm referring to "you people" as in "you idiots". See how you are already trying to find a way to be a victim? No one said anything about Hispanic people. Calm down. I'm calling you an idiot for actually believing Elon was stealing random people's personal data and doing nefarious acts with that data. Liberal media has your brain so warped that you keep regurgitating this bullshit when you have zero shreds of evidence to support it. One of the richest men in the world doesn't need Aunt Edna's $2000 she has saved from her pension fund. Stop it. You hate the man, so anything anyone says that's negative, true or untrue, you're running with it and preaching it like it's gospel. THAT'S why I'm calling you an idiot. Someone is going to have access to your data whether you like it or not. This is just something else for you to cry about. Stop it.
DeleteI am far far from being a victim, I never referred to you as an idiot for your opinion. Your personal opinion is exactly that and so is mine. My opinion as well as yours does not mean that we can’t have respectful banter. I don’t Hate the man but I dislike some of the decisions “ The Man” has made. You are preaching your opinion like it’s the only opinion that matters. My opinion matters to no one because it’s exactly that my opinion.
Deleteno salary
Deletehe secured some hefty contracts in the process.
Deletepost them?
DeleteYou liberals bullied him out of the white house for saving you tax dollars. Also you guys are anti bully I thought. Lol you liberals make no sense. Also remember musk always will be happier, richer, and smarter than you will ever be. Same with Our great president Trump
ReplyDeleteElon is saving the planet.
ReplyDeleteIt’s insane that leftists support government corruption.
Well he already diverted all the money and government contracts to himself
ReplyDeleteanyone who makes a child and takes care of it. Better have a child and name it a number or punctuation mark, than die a barren dog with noone but yourself to think of.
ReplyDeleteElon musk should leave earth whilst hes at it
ReplyDeleteWhile he’s banging Pee Wee Germans wife?!?!???
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm
He helps destroy our country then wants to be liked!
ReplyDeleteHe snatched enough. And he should leave this world. NOW
ReplyDeleteGod bless and prosper you Elon
ReplyDeleteYou got my attention. You have a great and prestigious profile. I have a thought that’s too good for the comments. Reach out to me on messenger.
DeleteDon’t worry you are still the most hated man in the USA second only to trump. By the way we hate your teenage babies
ReplyDeleteTo late.
ReplyDeleteWhen he'll leave the U. S.?
ReplyDeleteLeaving the country or planet would be preferable
ReplyDeleteAll show for Musk from Trump to help him be a good guy.
ReplyDeleteI never want to hear about this 💩 again.
ReplyDeleteToo late, we all know what he stands for
ReplyDeleteGood riddance 😡
ReplyDelete
