Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk has made a sensational announcement, declaring his resignation from the position of Chairman of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the United States government. Musk released this statement on the social media platform X earlier this morning.
In his announcement, Elon Musk stated that his term as a special government employee in the U.S. administration had come to an end. He extended his heartfelt thanks to United States President Donald Trump for granting him the opportunity to contribute to a major initiative aimed at reducing unnecessary government expenditures. Musk expressed hope that the DOGE department would continue to operate more effectively in the future and accomplish its goals.
Following Donald Trump’s second assumption of presidential responsibilities, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was established with the key objectives of implementing sweeping reforms in government operations and curbing wasteful spending across federal agencies. Elon Musk was appointed as Chairman of this newly formed department. Under his leadership, DOGE initiated several measures focused on governmental cost control.
