The Tesla CEO led the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in President Donald Trump's second administration. 

Elon Musk bids farewell to the government

On Thursday, May 29, Elon Musk announced his departure from the administration, writing on X (formerly Twitter), “As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump 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,” he added.

Several people, particularly Democrats, expressed their happiness over the latest development. 

In a six-word zinger, Walz wrote on X, “Finally rooting out waste and abuse,” possibly hinting at Musk's turbulent tenure as DOGE lead. 

Senator Mark Werner (D-VA) posted, "Finally some good news! Elon Musk has been kicked to the curb."

He also said in the video, "With as much bad news, Musk leaving and the courts standing u, give us hope. That’s what happens when we stand up and speak out. Let’s stay at it," as per CBS4 News.

Wisconsin State Assembly member Alex Joers wrote, “Goodbye. Don't come back.”

Internet divided as Tim Walz responds to Elon Musk's government departure 

While some praised Tim Walz's response to the news of Elon Musk's departure from the government, others reminded him of his and Kamala Harris' defeat in the 2024 presidential race. 

An admirer wrote, “Hall of Fame tweet," and another added, “Thanks for representing strong alpha masculinity so well, Tim.”

A person said, “The grift overstayed its welcome, but the most overpriced failure in ‘efficiency’ history is finally out.” 

A detractor wrote, “That happened when the American people kicked your party out of office," whereas another added, “Still so salty after the American people rejected you for Vice President. We prevented four more years of continuous waste and abuse at the White House!”

“No this happened when the American people didn’t vote for you and Kamala!” another tweet read. 

One bluntly wrote, “This is one pure evil man. Thank goodness he did not become vice president.”

Karoline Leavitt shares insight on DOGE's future

Meanwhile, following Elon Musk’s departure, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a Thursday, May 29, media briefing that “the entire Cabinet is involved” in DOGE's mission and work.

“Each cabinet secretary at their respective agencies is committed,” she noted.

"The DOGE leaders are each and every member of the president's cabinet and the president himself, who is wholeheartedly committed to cutting waste, fraud and abuse from our government,” Leavitt added, as per Newsweek.

Moreover, about Musk's departure from the government, Trump wrote on Truth Social, "I am having a Press Conference tomorrow at 1:30 P.M. EST, with Elon Musk, at the Oval Office. This will be his last day, but not really, because he will, always, be with us, helping all the way. Elon is terrific! See you tomorrow at the White House."

Elon Musk expressed his displeasure with Donald Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill'

Also, recently, Elon Musk sat down with ‘CBS Sunday Morning’ and expressed his displeasure with the Donald Trump-backed "One Big Beautiful Bill." 

He said, "I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing," as per CBS News. 

"I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful but I don't know if it can be both. My personal opinion," the tech billionaire added.
