Elon Musk is leaving his government role as a top adviser to President Donald Trump after spearheading efforts to reduce and overhaul the federal bureaucracy.

“DOGE’s over-promising and underperforming results damaged not only Musk’s reputation but also the standing of the Trump administration as a whole, and beyond that, probably the reputations and chances for success of future governmental reform cost-cutting measures,” presidential historian David Pietrusza told the Washington Examiner.

Elon Musk has left the White House with little fanfare after splitting with Trump on policy and failing to meet his DOGE savings goals.

Billionaire Elon Musk on May 29 announced he is leaving as head of DOGE and exiting the Donald Trump-led administration. “…My scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end,” the Tesla and SpaceX chief wrote on X.
