Elon Musk has announced his resignation from his role as a top adviser to the White House, citing persistent challenges in implementing key reforms.

During his tenure, Musk encountered significant obstacles navigating federal bureaucracy and frequently clashed with officials over his proposed changes. His exit follows a shift in his ambitious goals to reduce federal spending, which were later scaled back in the “big, beautiful bill.”

“I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing,” he said in the interview. “I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful, but I don’t know if it can be both.”

Musk’s relationship with President Trump was marked by both collaboration and disagreement on a range of policy issues.

Despite stepping down, Musk’s influence on government efficiency initiatives and spending reduction strategies is expected to have a lasting impact.
