Elon Musk exits Trump administration

Elon Musk is leaving his role as a top adviser in the Trump administration after attempting to overhaul the federal bureaucracy with substantial spending cuts through DOGE. Despite his initial goals of reducing government spending by trillions, Musk faced resistance and political blowback, ultimately adjusting his target to $150 billion. His departure comes as Republicans debate a controversial legislative bill involving tax cuts and immigration enforcement, which Musk criticized for increasing the federal deficit.
