Elon Musk has concluded his controversial stint as a special government employee, according to Deadline. The billionaire announced his departure in a post thanking Trump and affirming that the Department of Government Efficiency’s mission would continue. Musk led efforts to cut government spending and shutter agencies such as USAID, but his aggressive tactics drew backlash from federal workers and the public. Musk initially claimed he could cut $2 trillion in government spending, but later retreated from that target. The Department of Government Efficiency now cites $175 billion in savings, though that figure is contested.
