Elon Musk, founder of Tesla and SpaceX, posted on the social platform X, announcing that his term as a "special government employee" of the US government is about to end, and thanked President Trump for giving him the opportunity to "cut wasteful spending."

"As my time as a special government employee is coming to an end, I want to thank President Trump for giving me this opportunity to cut wasteful spending," Musk wrote in the post. "The mission of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life for the entire government."

This remark quickly attracted the attention of the market and the media, especially the "Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)" mentioned by Musk. This agency had no formal establishment before, and its name is highly similar to the cryptocurrency Dogecoin, which has caused widespread speculation about its actual functions and symbolic significance.

According to Jinshi Finance, citing White House officials, Musk is indeed about to leave his government position, and his resignation process will start tonight local time in the United States. The source did not disclose the results of Musk's term or whether he will continue to maintain a cooperative relationship with the government in the future.

Musk has participated in government technology and efficiency reform issues many times since Trump returned to politics. It is generally believed that he has provided "unconventional" but influential suggestions in promoting government agency optimization, technological transformation and budget review.

This resignation comes at a critical time when Musk frequently participates in AI governance, electric vehicle incentive policies and space projects. The industry is concerned about whether he will refocus more energy on his corporate empire and global technology layout after leaving the government role.
