Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced on X on Wednesday that his time as a “special government employee” has ended.
Musk, the face of the Department of Government Efficiency, was hired as a special government employee (SGE) to advise the Trump administration on cutting costs and combating fraudulent spending in the U.S. government.
Musk in his post stated, “As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President Donald Trump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending.”
The “DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.”

Per Sky News:
Elon Musk has said he is stepping down from the Trump administration.
The billionaire thanked US President Donald Trump – and said he was stepping down as his “scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end”.
The Tesla owner – who led the Department of Government Efficiency – said he was thankful “for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending”.
“The DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government,” Musk wrote on X.
The move by Musk is not so surprising, considering he previously announced his time at DOGE was only meant to be temporary.
After making the announcement, Musk’s replies were flooded with thousands of people thanking him for his time at DOGE.
LOOK:
THANK YOU ELON! You put us on the best track our government has ever been on.
Demand for cuts is now WIDESPREAD, and we’re going to hold the GOP to account.
So much has been exposed. And it wouldn’t have happened without you.
