Elon Musk, having accomplished none of the goals he announced at the beginning of his tenure and with the national debt higher than when he started, is leaving his post at DOGE months earlier than originally planned. The billionaire says he intends to use his newfound downtime to spend more time crying on Twitter and ignoring his 13+ fatherless children.

Elon Musk expressed gratitude to President Trump in a Wednesday message marking the end of his special government employee status, the latest sign of his declining involvement in the White House.

In a post on X, Musk thanked Trump for the opportunity to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a panel focused on dramatically slashing the size of the federal budget and workforce.

“As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending,” Musk wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter before he purchased it in 2022.

“The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.”

As a special government employee, Musk was limited to 130 days in service to Trump and spent much of the start of the new administration close by the president’s side.
