Elon Musk officially leaves DOGE

Tech billionaire Elon Musk announced his resignation from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), thanking President Donald Trump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending. He expressed disappointment with Trump's "One Big, Beautiful Bill Act", arguing that the spending bill would increase the deficit and undermine DOGE's work. Musk criticized the federal bureaucracy and said DOGE had become a lightning rod for criticism, noting that the department's efforts were hampered by entrenched bureaucracy. Trump did not directly address Musk's comments but said he would negotiate aspects of the bill.
