Overview

• Musk’s resignation from the Department of Government Efficiency took effect immediately and was announced on his X account after 130 days in the role.
• He publicly criticized the bill for expanding tax cuts for the wealthy, ending clean-energy incentives and cutting $1 trillion from social programs.
• During his tenure, Musk cut more than 250,000 federal positions and dismantled several agencies but fell short of his pledged $1 trillion to $2 trillion deficit reduction.
• The Congressional Budget Office estimates the 'Great and Beautiful' bill will increase the deficit by $2.3 trillion over the next decade, directly conflicting with DOGE’s objectives.
• Russell Vought, who also directs the Office of Management and Budget, is expected to oversee ongoing efficiency efforts at DOGE following Musk’s departure.
