The Trump administration’s cost-cutting czar Elon Musk announced Wednesday night his time as a “Special Government Employee” with the administration is winding down.
“As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President [Trump] for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending,” Musk wrote on X. He added that his Department of Government Efficiency’s “mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.”
Musk will begin his offboarding process with the White House on Wednesday night, according to an administration official.
Musk, a billionaire entrepreneur, had been overseeing DOGE. Musk’s team has upturned the government through employee cuts at nearly every federal agency and the termination of billions of dollars of government contracts.
