😱 Elon Musk QUITS Trump Team After Budget Fight! What Happened?

Elon Musk has left his job with President Donald Trump. He was working to make the government smaller and save money. But now, he is going back to his companies, Tesla and SpaceX.

“I thank President Trump for the opportunity,” Musk said on X (formerly Twitter).

🚀 What Was Musk Doing in the Government?

Elon Musk was leading a group called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The goal was to cut down government spending and remove waste.

  • Started in January 2025
  • Wanted to save $2 trillion
  • Later changed goal to $150 billion

But it was hard. Many people did not agree with his plans. Some agencies and lawmakers pushed back.

📉 Why Did Musk Leave?

Musk got upset when Trump supported a big spending bill. He thought it was too much money and went against DOGE’s goals.

“This bill increases the deficit and undermines our work,” Musk said.

He also faced problems at Tesla. The company’s profits dropped by 71% in the first quarter of 2025. Some people blamed his political work for the decline.

📊 Tesla’s Troubles

Investors were worried. They wanted Musk to focus more on Tesla. The company’s sales were going down, and some customers were unhappy with Musk’s role in politics.

  • 71% drop in profits
  • 9% decrease in revenue
  • Public protests against Musk’s political involvement

🗣️ What Did Others Say?

Some Republicans, like Senators Ron Johnson and Mike Lee, agreed with Musk. They also thought the spending bill was too much.

But others in the Trump administration were not happy with Musk’s comments. They felt he was being too critical.

“We appreciate Musk’s work, but we must move forward,” said a White House official.

🔚 What’s Next for Musk?

Musk plans to return full-time to his companies. He wants to focus on innovation and technology.

  • Develop new Tesla models
  • Advance SpaceX missions
  • Work on AI projects with xAI

He also said he would spend less money on political campaigns in the future.
