Elon Musk is reportedly stepping down from his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a position he held since Donald Trump returned to office in January.
Trump informed his cabinet of Musk’s impending departure, citing ongoing tensions between Musk and senior White House officials. Musk’s role had drawn criticism, and his exit comes as the administration prepares for major policy shifts, including sweeping tariffs and federal workforce reductions. The move signals a shake-up in Trump’s inner circle and could impact the administration’s tech and efficiency initiatives.
No official timeline for Musk’s departure has been confirmed.
