Elon Musk distances himself from Trump - What is the reason for his sudden

Billionaire Tesla executive Elon Musk is leaving the Trump administration after leading a tumultuous campaign during which he overthrew several federal agencies but ultimately failed to deliver the generational savings he had sought.

"His departure from government will begin tonight," a White House official confirmed to the Associated Press. Musk had earlier used his social media platform X to thank President Donald Trump as his time as a special government employee with the Department of Government Efficiency drew to a close.

His departure was quick and simple. He did not have a formal conversation with Trump before announcing his departure, according to a source familiar with the matter, who added that his departure was decided "at a senior staff level."

While the exact circumstances of his departure were not immediately clear, he left a day after criticizing Trump's tax bill, calling it too expensive and a measure that would harm his work with the US DOGE Service.

Some senior White House officials were particularly irritated by the comments, and the White House was forced to call Republican senators to reiterate Trump's support for the package. While Musk remains close to the president, his departure follows a gradual but steady decline in position.

After Trump's inauguration, the billionaire quickly emerged as a powerful force in Trump's orbit: highly visible, loud, and far removed from traditional norms.
