Tesla and SpaceX boss Elon Musk is leaving his U.S. government role as a top adviser to President Donald Trump after spearheading efforts to reduce and overhaul the federal bureaucracy.
The billionaire entrepreneur posted on Wednesday about his decision on X.
"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," he wrote.
A White House official confirmed that Musk was leaving. Musk has been a controversial figure in the administration, responsible for the loss of hundreds of thousands of federal jobs.
Musk's departure comes one day after he criticised the centrepiece of Trump's legislative agenda, saying he was "disappointed" by what the president calls his "big beautiful bill" which offers tax relief and aims to spur manufacturing growth.
Trump was asked about Musk's comments, and replied that the bill received a lot of votes in Congress.
