While Elon Musk has distanced himself from the government after his 130 days at DOGE were up, Ron DeSantis appeared to defend the work he did.
"Elon Musk took massive incoming — including attacks on his companies as well as personal smears — to lead the effort on DOGE," the right-winger
wrote on X. "He became public enemy #1 of legacy media around the world. To see Republicans in Congress cast aside any meaningful spending reductions (and, in fact, fully fund things like USAID) is demoralizing and represents a betrayal of the voters who elected them."

Elon Musk also condemned Donald Trump and the right's recent legislative actions after the president's "Big, Beautiful Bill" — which will allegedly increase the national deficit by $3.8 trillion by 2034 — was
passed by House Republicans last week.
"I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing," the tech mogul said in an interview with
CBS Sunday Morning. "I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful. But I don't know if it can be both. [That's] my personal opinion."

Donald Trump and the rest of the Republican party seem to have soured on Elon Musk after he failed to get them votes in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race.
"He's finished, done, gone. He polls terribly. People hate him," a source claimed to
Politico. "He'd go to
Wisconsin thinking he can buy people's votes, wear the cheese hat, act like a 9-year-old. It doesn't work. It's offensive to people."

Although rumors about a rift between Donald Trump and Elon Musk have swirled, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed there is no animosity between the two as the billionaire leaves his government job.
"The mission of DOGE — to cut waste, fraud and abuse — will surely continue. DOGE employees who onboarded at their respective agencies will continue to work with President Trump's cabinet to make our government more efficient," she claimed in a recent press conference.
