His role was temporary and his exit is not unexpected, but it comes a day after Musk criticised the legislative centrepiece of Trump's agenda."As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending," Musk wrote on X."The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government."

The SpaceX and Tesla boss said in an interview with BBC's US partner CBS that the "big, beautiful bill", as Trump calls it, would increase the federal deficit.Ms McDonough criticised the chancellor's decision to raise the amount employers pay in National Insurance, saying her first Budget was "like someone had threw chaos at us".
