Elon Musk announced his departure from his role as a senior adviser in the Trump administration, marking a turbulent end to his brief tenure characterized by ambitious plans to overhaul government operations. His approach led to significant layoffs and controversies, including the downsizing of key agencies and the controversial targeting of programs like Social Security, which he labeled a "Ponzi scheme."
