By April 2025, American political news publication Politico cited sources close to Trump and said Musk would step back from his DOGE role “in the coming weeks”
Musk and Trump’s partnership seems to have ended after the Tesla boss quit the Department of Government Efficiency, citing disappointment over the President’s budget bill.
The “bulls**t artist” and the man who “doesn’t seem to have the sort of character that reflects well on the United States” are no longer friends, or at least they don’t work together anymore.
For, you see, billionaire Elon Musk, who bankrolled President Donald Trump – to the tune of nearly US$300 million – to a second term in the White House, has walked away from his ‘job’ at the Department of Government Efficiency.
The ‘bromance for the ages’ – that cheeky description offered by British publication Independent in December last year – seemed to unravel after Musk’s public criticism of Trump’s ‘one, big beautiful’ bill.
He said “my time has come to an end” and that he was “disappointed” at the President championing a bill “… which increases the budget deficit… and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing”.
