Alex Shephard: The real reason that he's "leaving" (or "quiet quitting") is that he has spent the last four months as a "special government employee," a distinction with a 130-day time limit. Were he to continue working in the same capacity, he would be required by federal law to fill out certain financial and ethical disclosures that he is currently exempted from as an SGE.
UPDATE: Elon Musk is leaving the Department of Government Efficiency effort. His 130 day tenure was marked by legal setbacks, overstated savings claims and little evidence DOGE made things more efficient.
