Elon Musk Resigns Over Trump Spending Bill

Elon Musk has resigned as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and top adviser to President Donald Trump, citing disagreements over Trump's major spending and tax bill. Musk's resignation follows his public criticism of the bill, which he argues would significantly increase the federal deficit and undermine DOGE's cost-cutting goals. His departure has energized Republican critics of the legislation as it moves to the Senate, revealing ongoing GOP divisions over fiscal policy. Despite their previous alliance, Musk's frustration with Washington and the bill's contents led to his decision to step down. Musk thanked Trump for the opportunity, acknowledging the challenges of reforming federal bureaucracy. He also stated that DOGE's mission to promote efficiency would continue to influence government operations.
