Ilon Musk officially resigned the powers of the head of the Department of State Efficiency (DOGE). He took this post immediately after the inauguration of Donald Trump. At the same time, the status of a billionaire allowed him to occupy a position for no more than 130 days that expire on May 30.
Musk confirmed his departure to the social network, thanking President Donald Trump “for the opportunity to reduce useless expenses”. He emphasized that the DOGE mission will only strengthen over time, since it will become a way of life for the entire government.
Earlier information appeared that Musk and his team planned to stay until the summer and were looking for the opportunity to go around the rule of 130 days. However, the White House has already confirmed that the entrepreneur is leaving.
The Mask’s stay as head of the DOGE was accompanied by numerous scandals and judicial claims. However, despite this, the department reported that since Trump returned to the White House, it was possible to save American taxpayers more than $ 175 billion. True, many experts question this figure in question, stating that it has been overestimated.
Be that as it may, it is only 8.5% of the initial target of the mask to reduce the federal budget by $ 2 trillion, which he later revised towards a decrease to $ 150 billion.
According to Reuters, Doge reduced almost 12% or 260,000 out of 2.3 million federal employees through dismissal and proposals for early retirement.
