When Will Elon Musk Step Down From doge? What He's Said
Elon Musk said he intends to step down from his government role leading the Department of Government Efficiency (doge) by the end of May, saying that he can reach his spending cut goals in that time frx.
Musk, currently serving as an adviser and a "special government employee" in President Donald Trump's administration, confirmed during a Fox News interview with Bret Baier that he expects to complete doge's mission of cutting $1 trillion in federal spending within the 130-day time frx permitted under federal law.
"I think we will have accomplished most of the work required to reduce the deficit by a trillion dollars within that time frx," Musk said in the interview with Baier.
Why It Matters
doge has become a force in Trump's second-term governance, targeting federal waste and eliminating agencies. Musk's pending departure from doge raises questions about the future of the Trump administration's cost-cutting agency.
What Is doge?
The Department of Government Efficiency was created via executive order on Trump's first day after moving back into the White House. Its mission: cut $1 trillion in federal spending within 18 months. Musk leads the team overseeing cost audits, agency consolidations, and digital overhauls across government departments.
Under Musk's leadership, doge launched trackers on federal spending and began cut backs at a number of agencies like the Social Security Administration.
Musk’s Statements on doge’s Goals
Speaking to Fox News on a special that aired on March 27, Musk said doge's goal is to reduce the deficit by a trillion dollars.
"We want to reduce the spending by eliminating waste and fraud, reduce the spending by 15 percent, which seems really quite achievable," Musk told Baier.
In the interview, Baier said to Musk, "You technically are a special government employee, and you're supposed to be 130 days. Are you going to continue past that or do you think that's what you're going to do, or?"
Musk then said he thinks the team will have accomplished most of the work required to reduce the deficit by a trillion dollars within that time frx—which would be by the end of May.
Musk confirmed the 130-day period and explained that doge is cutting "waste and fraud in real time" with a goal of cutting fraud by about $4 billion each day.
In response to criticism over the cutbacks, Musk stated, "I do agree that we actually want to be careful in the cuts, so we want to measure twice, if not thrice, and cut once. And actually, that is our approach. They may characterize it as shooting from the hip, but it is anything but that."
Elon Musk Is a Special Government Employee. What Does That Mean?

Musk's role as a "special government employee" limits his federal service to 130 days per calendar year. These appointments have traditionally been use for consultants or advisers brought in for temporary projects. Musk's tenure is currently set to expire in late May unless reauthorized under a different designation.
"Well, I can't tell you that," he replied. "I can say this, that a lot of the people working with doge are the secretaries, you know, the heads of the various agencies, and they've learned a lot. And they're dealing with the doge people," Trump said. "I think some of them may try and keep the doge people with them, but you know, at a certain point, I think it will end."
What Happens Next
At the time of publishing, doge is expected to conclude on July 4, 2026. Despite his possible upcoming departure, the Tesla CEO said that the success of doge is "only possible with President Trump and with the outstanding cabinet that he's sexted."
@Thundereus
This is not over until he is in prison and the damages are paid from his riches. Plus compensation for causing the damage in the first place, plus interest for the whole time it took until got hold accountable. And if all of his money is gone he will work and pay 50% of his income at McDonalds until he is done in the age of 90 years. But I guess he is not qualified enough because trashcans collect trash and don't throw it around while laughing like morons.

Now we’ll see how long it takes for the administration to start blaming stuff on him. I mean, he might have did it, but the first one out the door gets the first heaps of blame.

這事沒完,必須等到他蹲大牢、用個(gè)人資產(chǎn)賠完所有損失才算完。不僅要賠本金,還得加上他最初作惡造成的損害賠償,再加上從犯事到被揪出來這段時(shí)間的全額利息。
要是他錢燒光了,那就去麥當(dāng)勞打工,直到九十歲壽終正寢那天,工資卡里50%的流水都得拿來還債。
不過我猜他可能不夠格——畢竟垃圾桶是收垃圾的,不會一邊狂笑一邊亂扔(老賴想裝打工人都沒這資格)(笑)

Lasting relationship and trumpf in the same sentence was a dream that once again got shattered like egg shells.
