Elon Musk relinquishes his positions within the government.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk Steps Down from Trump's Economic Advisory Council
In a sudden departure, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has announced his resignation from his role in the Trump administration's Economic Advisory Council. The White House confirmed the news on Wednesday evening, local time.
Musk, who served as a special government advisor in the Department of Government Efficiency, expressed his gratitude to President Donald Trump in a statement. He pointed out that his tenure was coming to an end and did not mention any specific reasons for his departure. However, an insider revealed that no conversation took place between Musk and Trump prior to his decision. The resignation was reportedly decided at the highest level.
Musk's term was due to expire around May 30, but the Trump administration stated that the DOGE agency's mission to restructure and reduce the federal government would continue. Musk had been given unusual authority by Trump to dismantle parts of the US government.
In a recent interview with CBS News, Musk criticized the costs of the Republican tax and budget laws, referencing Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill". He expressed disappointment with the bill's increase in deficit and undermining of the DOGE team's work. Musk had previously mentioned that his agency was being "made the punching bag" and "held accountable for everything".
Musk's political activities, including his role as Trump's advisor, have been met with protests and calls from some Tesla investors for him to focus more on the company. The circumstances leading to Musk's resignation remain unclear, and it is not yet known whether his departure is related to these factors.
