Elon Musk has left the Trump administration after serving 130 days as a temporary Government employee. He headed up DOGE and acted as a Special Advisor to President Trump. Musk’s official last day off is May 30, 2025, which is exactly 130 days from President Trump becoming inaugurated on January 20, 2025. Many mainstream media types allege Elon was forced out of the administration due to becoming more of a liability. The media mention the failed Wisconsin race that Elon heavily supported and his criticism of Trump’s big, beautiful bill. None of those reasons are substantiated and, as mentioned earlier, Elon Musk was always set to be a temporary Government employee, not an elected official or permanent staff.
