Much had been heard about the entry of Mask in Trump’s government. According to the Donald TrumpMusk would put a class in the government’s finances, and from the first moment they had implied that staying in the position of the government’s efficiency ministry was temporary.
Finally on Wednesday (28.5.2025), he announced that he was leaving the government, but leaving Donald Trump and the US president’s handling.
‘As the scheduled period I worked as a special government official is coming to an end, I would like to thank President Donald Trump That gave me the opportunity to reduce the waste, “the businessman said via X.
“The mission of @doge will only be strengthened over time, as it will become a way of life throughout the government,” he added, referring to the government’s efficiency team.
As they all show, he does not go away with the best impressions of the Trump government, while the relations between the two powerful men are in their worst phase.
“Sincerely, I was disappointed when I saw the colossal bill on spendingwhich not only does not diminish the deficit but increases it, and undermines the work of the Doge team, “Tesla’s chief executive said in an interview with CBS speaking about the tax bill of US President Donald Trump.
The big-law, which passed through the House of Representatives with a single vote last week, incorporates much of Donald Trump’s inner agenda for the tax cuts, immigration and other issues.
Musk himself was one of Trump’s main financiers in the 2024 elections, and this year he had promised Trump’s advisers that he would give $ 100 million to Republican teams before the 2026 interim elections.
Musk seems to hold his billions for himself, but Trump probably doesn’t need him anymore.
Croissant Musk appears repentant On his involvement with politics: “I think I probably devoted a little more time to politics,” he told Ars Technica this week.
When asked by journalists about Musk’s criticism on Wednesday, Trump refused to answer immediately. He defended the bill, while recognizing that he did not like every aspect, and praised the efforts of the Republicans to promote it. He never mentioned Musk’s name.
However, Steven Miller, a White House Deputy Chief on Policy, responded to Musk on social media without naming him. Miller claimed that The bill will reduce deficit – Although multiple independent analyzes support the opposite – and noted that the cuts made by the MSK team were not related to the expenditure bill.
The fateful trip to the Middle East
According to the same report, before Trump’s trip to the Middle East, Musk reacted to an ongoing agreement between an opposing artificial intelligence company and the United Arab Emirates on Construction of a huge data center in Abu Dhabiaccording to a White House official.
Musk complained to David Sacks, a consultant by the President of Artificial Intelligence, and to other White House officials on Abu Dhabi’s work on Openai – an organization he founded with Sam Altman, with whom they have come.
He also expressed legal concerns in general for other artificial intelligence companies and sought to include his own company, XAI, in the deal, Something that didn’t happen in the end.
The Openai Agreement follows a plan secured between the Trump government and the United Arab Emirates to build an artificial intelligence campus in Abu Dhabi.
Musk accompanied the president on his trip to the Middle East, but Trump rarely mentioned his name publicly. And foreign officials in the Gulf seemed to be more interested in looking for Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkov, despite Musk.
Musk was simply a member of Trump’s escort. No special position, no separate reference. Indeed, at some point in Abu Dhabi Musk was seen waiting in the tail to tighten Trump’s hand.
