Trump announces Musk withdrawal: power struggle in the White House!
Washington, D.C., USA - Donald Trump recently informed his cabinet about Elon Musk's resignation as a consultant. According to a report by Oe24 , Musk will give up his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), a position that he has since January Inshage. This announcement is followed by tensions between Musk and various high -ranking employees in the White House, especially Foreign Minister Marco Rubio.
During a cabinet meeting,Trump reported that the personnel decisions are no longer directly under Musk and that the final job cancellations are responsible for the department heads. He emphasized the need to keep the best and most productive employees, and compared the upcoming layoffs with a "scalpel" instead of an "ax", which should illustrate the differentiation in the cuts. This is a response to the comprehensive cuts, which have been initiated by Doge, which have caused serious concerns among Republican Congressmen, as NBC News emphasized ( NBC News ).
conflicts and resignation
Elon Musk, who specifies to achieve savings of up to a trillion dollar without impairing critical government services, is now facing increased pressure from the white house. He had announced that the current federal expenditure could be reduced from around seven trillion dollars to six trillion dollars, considering a 15 percent reduction. Trump, however, seems to have limited the authority of Musk, which has led to displeasure among the cabinet members, reports NBC News .
Musk had recently met with republican senators behind closed doors to discuss their concerns about possible voter reactions on the extensive layoffs. The current phase is particularly delicate, since at least 24,000 federal employees have already lost their jobs during the trial period, and tens of thousands are announced.
The future of Doge and Musk's plans
The resignations and the difficulties within the government seem to not inhibit Musk's plans to complete the savings in the next few weeks. His status as a "Special Government Employee" allows him to work for the US government up to 130 days a year without having to be considered a full-time employee. A spokesman for the White House also indicated that Musk could possibly stay in office longer ().
Musk has always emphasized that his savings measures should not have any negative effects on social security benefits for “legitimate recipients” and that caution should be exercised during the cuts. Despite all of these announcements, Musk has explained that so far "nobody has been released", while the claim for the impending layoffs is still in space. The upcoming resignation could therefore have far-reaching implications for the U.S. government's budget policy, while Trump and Musk continue to strive for a controversial but groundbreaking reforming of the government.
