Elon Musk: Collaboration Ends - Tech Billionaire Wants to Divorce Trump Article by fka/sfx/news.de • 19 hours • 2 minutes reading time It's an announcement that no one could have expected. After Donald Trump founded the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) specifically for tech billionaire Elon Musk, Musk is now said to be planning to ditch the US president. This is currently being reported by the British news portal "Daily Star," among others. Elon Musk Wants to Divorce Donald Trump Elon Musk's job at DOGE is to help Donald Trump cut government spending and reduce bureaucracy. But this work appears to be coming to an end after just a few months, which is why the Tesla CEO apparently wants to leave Washington, D.C. A date for the end of the collaboration has even been set. Elon Musk Announces Date for End of Collaboration with Donald Trump In a recent interview with Fox News host Bret Baier, Elon Musk stated that he expects the DOGE's work to be completed in approximately 130 days. This is also the timeframe set before the work began. "Scalpel, Not Hatchet" - Donald Trump Expects Sensitivity in DOGE's Work The Daily Star report also features Anthony Armstrong, a DOGE employee of Elon Musk. He explained that Donald Trump had given precise instructions for the agency's work. Instead of making cuts with a hatchet, they should work carefully with a scalpel. Therefore, once decisions are made about who to lay off or where to make cuts, the "emphasis is on being generous, caring, and compassionate, and treating everyone with dignity and respect," Armstrong said. Elon Musk's role in the Trump administration has repeatedly sparked controversy since his appointment. Recently, the Tesla CEO even attended a cabinet meeting, despite not holding an official position. Tesla, in turn, suffered significant losses. The company's stock plummeted, and there were attacks and demonstrations at Tesla dealerships across the US.
