After commanding the Department to reduce public spending, a “disappointment” ultra -right billionaire with a tax and budget direction adopted by the Trump government. The billionaire Elon Musk announced Wednesday (28/05) that he is officially leaving Donald Trump’s government after expressing “disappointment” with a United States President of the United States.




“Now that my time scheduled as an official of the special government is turning to the end, I want to thank President Donald Trump for the opportunity to reduce superfluous spending,” Musk said in a short message to his X -Network account.

Musk, who donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the Trump campaign in 2024, had been designated in January as a “consultant” of a government.

In practice, the Department of Government’s efficiency thus called, known with the acronym for doge, which has been noticed to eliminate thousands of jobs in the public service and in the federal programs, in particular in the sector of international cooperation, has been informal. Doge Under Musk was also regularly accused of inflating and distorting the number to propagate it

Many of these initiatives, combined with the approval of Musk with ultra -Justi movements all over the world, have ended up splashing the billionaires, causing international boycott movements, which have reached the Tesla car manufacturer in particular, who saw their sales collapse in Europe.

In April, faced with the pressure of dissatisfied shareholders, Musk had already announced that he would reduce his role in the Trump administration, focusing again on companies. Initially, his “mandate” in the Trump government had been set in 130 days, scheduled for May 30th. The announcement of his departure on Wednesday clarified that there was no interest in renewing his participation.

In addition, Musk was not seen unanimously in the Trump support base. Some radically anti-immigration members of the “Maga” Trumpist movement criticized Musk for their support for maintaining a visa program for highly qualified foreign workers.

“Disappointment” for Trump’s budget plan

The news agencies stressed that the definitive departure of the government of the government also occurs even after the billionaire has shown dissatisfaction with a Trump budget project, nicknamed by the president of “Big and Beautiful Lew”, which provides for a great expansion of tax cuts.

This is the central axis of Trump’s internal political agenda, which can define his second term to the White House after the first from 2017 to 2021.

The package was approved last week from the Chamber and is now waiting for analysis to the Senate.

“I was disappointed to see this huge shopping account, frankly, that increases the budget deficit,” Musk said in an interview with the CBS News, which broadcast extracts on Tuesday evening.

“I think an account can be great or it can be beautiful,” Musk said to the CBS News, “but I don’t know if it could both be at the same time. It’s my personal opinion,” he said.
