Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Elon Musk has officially stepped down from his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), thanking President Trump for the opportunity. His departure follows a turbulent tenure marked by significant federal spending cuts, thousands of layoffs, and a lawsuit from 14 states alleging constitutional violations, including unauthorized access to government data. Musk's criticisms of a recent Republican spending bill, which he claims undermines DOGE's mission, have raised eyebrows. While Musk's influence on DOGE's future remains uncertain, the agency is expected to continue its operations amid ongoing legal challenges. Musk leaves with only $175 billion in cuts, far short of his $1 trillion goal.
