How much money Elon Musk lost during ‘130-day’ White House stint amid Donald Trump ‘break-up’
Elon Musk has stepped down from his role as a “special government employee” in Donald Trump’s administration after completing his 130-day term. As co-lead of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk focused on cutting federal waste but faced criticism for mass layoffs. His departure came just a day after he publicly criticized Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which he said would increase the deficit and undermine his team’s efforts.
Despite Musk’s claim that his exit was planned, reports reveal he lost a staggering $53 billion during his White House stint, dropping his net worth from $439 billion to $386 billion. Musk hinted at tensions with Trump by retweeted a post dismissing media speculation about a fallout. While his role officially ended, the timing of his criticism suggests a strained relationship with the administration.
