Summary
Elon Musk's tenure at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has officially ended, with unclear impacts on federal spending despite claims of significant savings. While Musk aimed to cut $2 trillion from the budget, current estimates suggest only $170 billion in savings, with some agency budgets actually increasing. His departure follows a New York Times report detailing his frequent ketamine use during the 2024 campaign, which he dismissed. Despite stepping back, Musk will continue to advise Trump, who praised his contributions. The future of DOGE remains uncertain as Musk's influence persists in government contracts.
