Elon Musk’s dramatic exit from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on May 28, 2025, sent shockwaves through Washington, capping a turbulent tenure as a Special Government Employee. Tasked with slashing federal spending, Musk led DOGE with his signature audacity, cutting an estimated 260,000 jobs and targeting agencies like USAID. His ambitious $2 trillion budget-cut goal dwindled to $150 billion amid resistance and legal challenges, with lawsuits alleging transparency violations and data misuse. Musk’s public clash with President Trump over the deficit-heavy “Big, Beautiful Bill” proved a breaking point, prompting his departure just as his 130-day SGE limit loomed. Trump, however, insisted it wasn’t Musk’s final act, hinting at an ongoing advisory role. The move sparked polarized reactions, with X users split between praising Musk’s disruption and decrying the chaos, including accidental cuts to critical programs. Protests, dubbed “Tesla Takedown,” and vandalism targeting Tesla showrooms underscored Musk’s polarizing influence, compounded by a 45% stock drop and a failed $25 million political bet in Wisconsin. As DOGE faces an uncertain future without Musk’s star power, cabinet secretaries reclaim control, and lawsuits mount. Musk’s pivot back to Tesla signals a retreat from politics, but his shadow looms large over Trump’s agenda. This saga of ambition, controversy, and unfinished promises raises questions about outsiders in government and DOGE’s lasting impact.
