WASHINGTON: billionaire Elon Musk announced Wednesday that he was leaving his role in the US government, aimed at reducing federal spending immediately after his first major break on his signature spending bill with President Donald Trump.

He wrote on his social media platform X, “Since my appointed time as a special government employee expires, I would like to thank President Donald Trump on the occasion of reducing wasteful expenditures.”

He added, “The Dodge Mission will only be strong over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.”

Born in South Africa, a tax tyk said that Trump’s bill would increase the deficit and damage the work of the government’s performance (DOGE), which has fired tens of thousands.

Kasturi – who was permanently present by Trump before pulling back to focus on his Space X and Tesla’s business – he also complained that the Dodge had become a “whirlwind” boy for dissatisfaction with the administration.

“I was disappointed to see the widespread spending bills, cleaning the budget deficit, which not only reduces it, and offends the work that the Dodge team is doing,” Musk told CBS News.

Trump’s “big, beautiful Bill Act” – which approved the US House last week and has now moved to the Senate – offers widespread taxation and deduction in expenses and is the focus of his domestic agenda.

But critics have warned that it will eliminate health care and balloons the national deficit of $ 4 trillion in a decade.

“A bill can be bigger, or it may be beautiful. But I don’t know that these can be both. My personal opinion,” Musk said in an interview, which will be fully broadcast on Sunday.

The White House tried to resolve any disagreement over US government spending, without directly naming Musk.

After Tech Titan’s comments were broadcast, Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller said on Musk’s social network, X, “The beautiful bill is not an annual budget bill.”

Miller added that according to the US Senate rules, a separate bill targeting the Federal Bureaucracy will need to be performed through a separate bill.

But the Musk’s comments represented an extraordinary division with the Republican president, which he helped return to power as the largest donor in the 2024 election campaign.

‘The whipped boys’

Trump entrusted Musk to reduce government spending as head dodge, but after a fever, Musk announced at the end of April that he was back to running most of his companies again.

Musk complained in a separate interview with the Washington Post that Dodge, which was running with the White House with young technicians staff, became a power stick for criticism.

“The Dodge is becoming just a whipping boy of everything,” Musk told a newspaper at the Star Base Launch site in Texas on Tuesday.

“Something bad will be bad, and we will accuse him even if we have nothing to do with it.”

Kasturi accused the US bureaucracy of failing to dose all his goals – although reports say his domineering style and lack of familiarity with Washington’s politics were also major factors.

“The situation of the federal bureaucracy is much worse than my feeling,” he said. “I thought there were problems there, but it’s definitely trying to improve things in DC, at least to say.”

Musk has already admitted that he did not achieve all his goals with the Dodge, though tens of thousands of people were removed from government salaries and several departments were tracked or closed.

In the meantime, Musk faced his own business.

Protesters fired some electric vehicles, and the firm’s profit was reduced by the firm.

“People were burning the teslas,” Musk told the post, “Why would you do this? It’s really uncertain.”

Musk is also focusing on the space X, which is following the focus of firearms in its dreams of making Mars colonial – the latest of which came on Tuesday when its prototype stars exploded in the Indian Ocean.

Last week, Tykone also said that he would withdraw from spending his fortunes on politics, which spent a quarter of a quarter of the dollar to support Trump.
