Elon Musk has confirmed that he will depart from his role at the White House and as head of the Department of Government Efficiency, leaving behind several questions about the future of DOGE.
The tech CEO announced he would be stepping down after his “scheduled time” as a government employee came to an end on Wednesday, ending five months of work as one of the most important figures in the second Trump administration.
Elon Musk has been a defining presence in President Donald Trump’s second term, taking on a very public role as head of DOGE and a prominent champion of the White House’s other policies on social media.
However, Musk’s notoriety has been a double-edged sword, as he has become closely associated with DOGE’s widespread cuts to federal spending, which has led to protests against the CEO and his companies.
