Musk's departure is due to his disagreement with the new fiscal and budgetary project promoted by the former Republican president, which, according to Musk, "undermines" his efforts to improve public spending efficiency.

"Now that my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee is coming to an end, I want to thank President Donald Trump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending," Musk stated in a statement posted on his official X account (formerly Twitter).
