Elon Musk announced he will leave his role in the Trump administration at the end of May after leading a $1 trillion deficit reduction as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE claims it has saved Americans $130 billion so far.
Tech billionaire Elon Musk on Thursday announced that he plans to step down from his role in the Donald Trump administration at the end of May after overseeing a massive $1 trillion reduction in the US deficit. Musk, who was brought in as a “special government employee” for a 130-day term, has been spearheading government cost-cutting efforts as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Elon Musk in an interview with Fox News, described his tenure as a historic overhaul of federal spending.
“This is a revolution. And I think it might be the biggest revolution in government since the original revolution,” he said. “At the end of the day, America’s going to be in much better shape. It’s going to be a fantastic future.”

Thank you, Mr. Musk, for your assistance.
1 trillion ??
Most of the savings will continue for decades. Thank YOU Elon and team...
Elon - we hardly knew ya. .
Say it ain’t so.
Thank you all.
The left is the reason this has never been done before. It takes men of real courage backed by a visionary and courageous man to stand up to the vitriol thrown at them.
They have put their heads down and just kept going. The brilliance of this group of men is something rarely seen and this country will survive as long as we are smart enough to keep it.
Don’t forget...$1 trillion x 10 years is 10 trillion dollars.
I think DOGE will carry on now the course has been set.
All the DOGE “cuts” are negated by the recently passed CR in Congress....$10 Billion in ADDITIONAL spending thru October 2025.

So all this fraud he found, not ONE person has been indicted? All the legal crap they put Trump and his supporters through the past 4 years and not one person has been arrested for stealing from the taxpayers.
That’s up to Blondi Bondi to do, not Musk’s job.
Well said; this is literally a portrait in courage. All of the DOGE crew are wildly successful and could do anything they want but they chose to help their country by stopping the looting by the ruling class.
We certainly need watchful eyes...we to retrain Dems not to give your money away. That means “vote wise”. Until NYS can flip their legislature and get rid of that dumb a** governor, we will remain at the mercy of “the dictators of NY”.
Regular Order will now return.
No more CRs.
I hope the people in the Brett Baeir interview stay on after Musks leaves.
I wonder if this amount includes all of the combined lawsuits that that judge put a hault to.
October will be the “make or break”...most of the DOGE FedGov manpower reductions involved severance pay thru September...which contributed to the “no savings” ($10 Billion INCREASE) thru October. October will hopefully be PDJT’s 1st proposed balanced annual budget (NOT another CR). But I am not holding my breath. We also have the semi-annual “debt ceiling” fight coming up in August again...no chance of “holding fast” since the recently passed CR is out of balance to the tune of $10 Billion.
So the lefties firebombed Tesla dealerships as part of resisting Emperor Musk but he was just going to step aside anyway after his 130 day stint.
