Donald Trump’s response to Elon Musk’s final message revealed.
President Donald Trump has finally broken his silence after Elon Musk’s sudden exit from the Department of Government Efficiency, known as DOGE.
Musk’s special government role explained.
Musk had been working in a unique role as a ‘special government employee,’ allowed to work a maximum of 130 days a year in the Trump administration.
His job: to spearhead efficiency reforms in the sprawling federal government under the DOGE initiative.
Musk’s aggressive cost-cutting measures led to significant staff reductions and the dismantling of several federal agencies.
These actions sparked widespread backlash from public servants and legal experts, raising concerns about the constitutionality of DOGE’s operations.
DOGE introduced AI chatbots to replace some human roles, aiming to boost productivity.
However, these AI initiatives faced heavy criticism for being unreliable and invasive.
Musk’s early exit profiled.
Musk’s surprise resignation came just days before his official end date, sparking wild speculation about their once-close relationship.
The billionaire and the 78-year-old POTUS were famously tight during Trump’s first months back in the Oval Office.
But whispers of a rift have swirled for months, and Musk’s departure now feels like the final curtain.
Despite the novelty, Musk’s resignation came a full three days early — a move that caught even insiders off guard.
The catalyst? Musk publicly slammed Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” just a day before quitting.
Musk’s CBS bombshell unveiled.
Speaking to CBS, Musk didn’t mince words: “I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, which increases the budget deficit instead of cutting it.”
He added with a signature wink: “A bill can be big or beautiful — but I don’t think it can be both.”
The bill was packed with eye-popping measures, including a “Golden Dome” defense shield to protect the U.S. from missile attacks — a Trump pet project.
It also handed out multi-trillion-dollar tax breaks, raising concerns Musk had long warned about.
The new legislation would increase government spending by nearly $600 billion in the next fiscal year, directly undermining Musk’s DOGE goals.
Elon Musk’s final message to Trump highlighted.
Behind the scenes, their relationship had already been strained by policy disagreements and clashing visions for the future.
Sources reveal Musk grew frustrated with the slow pace of reform and Trump’s grandiose plans.
Musk’s high-profile role was always unconventional — blending Silicon Valley’s disruptive ethos with Washington’s gridlock.
Initially, the tech titan and the president appeared inseparable, with Musk touted as a key player in the administration’s comeback.
But cracks appeared as Musk pushed for fiscal restraint, while Trump favored big-ticket projects to rally his base.
The power struggle came to a head with the recent spending bill, triggering Musk’s decision to bow out early.
Musk announced his departure on his own platform, X (formerly Twitter), thanking Trump for the opportunity.
“As my time as a Special Government Employee ends, I thank President Trump for the chance to reduce wasteful spending,” Musk wrote.
He added that the DOGE mission “will only strengthen as it becomes a way of life throughout government.”
Trump’s response to Musk’s farewell detailed.
Trump, however, remains publicly supportive — planning a farewell press conference with Musk in the Oval Office today, May 30.
On Truth Social, Trump teased the event: “Elon’s last day — but he’ll always be with us, helping all the way. Elon is terrific!”
The farewell is shaping up to be more than a goodbye — a show of mutual respect despite the differences.
Earlier, Trump cryptically posted a meme of himself walking alone at night, captioned: “He’s on a mission from God & nothing can stop what is coming.”
Oval Office farewell marks end of an era.
The unusual collaboration between a former president and tech billionaire captivated Washington and Wall Street alike.
One thing is certain: the Musk-Trump saga is far from over, and the fallout from this bombshell will ripple through politics for months.
