Elon Musk, the former head of the Department of Government Efficiency, is stepping down after a notable tenure marked by efforts to reduce unnecessary government expenditures. He concluded this phase with a modest farewell message on social media platform X, expressing gratitude to President Donald Trump for the opportunity to address wasteful spending. Musk reassured followers that the mission behind DOGE will continue to grow as an integral part of government operations over time. His departure follows a tumultuous period during which he faced significant backlash from Democrats who believed his approach was overly aggressive in cutting government costs. This tension even led to public protests against Tesla, prompting condemnation from the Department of Justice for acts deemed &#8220;domestic terrorism.&#8221; Despite these challenges affecting his companies&#8217; stock values, there seems to be a sense of relief in Musk&#8217;s message as Tesla stocks show signs of recovery following his distancing from X. However, he clarified that he is not completely withdrawing from politics but rather scaling back his political contributions unless a compelling reason arises in the future<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2440136,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Elon-says-goodbye.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[12577,23466,32192,56098,32364],"class_list":["post-2440135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-cryptocurrency","tag-doge","tag-elon-musk","tag-farewell-message","tag-social-media"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Elon-says-goodbye.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2440135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2440135"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2440135\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2440139,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2440135\/revisions\/2440139"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2440136"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2440135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2440135"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2440135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
