Hey everyone! 🚀 In a bold move, billionaire Elon Musk announced on May 28 that he's stepping down as a top adviser to President Donald Trump. Serving as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) since Trump's first day in office, Musk has been on a mission to slash "wasteful spending" and streamline federal operations.
During his tenure, his leadership saw thousands of federal job cuts, the dismantling of USAID, and some controversial decisions involving access to sensitive data without proper oversight. The turning point came when Musk clashed with Trump over a major spending and tax-cut bill that he argues could worsen the federal deficit.
This development is sparking lively debates globally, reminding tech-savvy young professionals across South and Southeast Asia how decisions in one part of the world can influence trends in both politics and technology. 🤔
What do you think about Musk's decision? Stay tuned for more updates as this story unfolds!
