多名高级总督官员正在以埃隆·马斯克的身份正式离开特朗普政府几步之遥消息人士周四告诉ABC新闻。
一名白宫官员向美国广播公司证实，其中包括总督的首席律师詹姆斯·伯纳姆(James Burnham)和马斯克私人公司的长期助手史蒂夫·戴维斯，他们都在脱离政府特别雇员的角色。
马斯克是特斯拉和X的亿万富翁首席执行官，他帮助建立了政府效率部，以便削减联邦政府周三晚上，他表示，他想感谢唐纳德·特朗普总统，“因为我作为政府特别雇员的预定时间即将结束。”
马斯克和其他几名DOGE员工在特朗普总统任期开始时被聘为特别政府雇员，他们的服务期限为130天-尽管马斯克此前表示他预计DOGE继续在特朗普的整个任期内。
到目前为止，总督已经声称政府节省了1750亿美元，尽管其积极的削减成本策略已经引发了几十起诉讼和指控，其工作是违反宪法的.
消息人士称，曾担任DOGE高级顾问和发言人的政府特别雇员凯蒂·米勒(Katie Miller)也将离开政府，并将与马斯克合作。
伯纳姆是与马斯克和多吉在团队法律战略上密切合作的关键律师。戴维斯是马斯克在DOGE的最高级顾问之一，他被视为负责日常运营，并在任期内跨多个联邦机构工作。
ABC新闻已经联系了相关人员。消息来源告诉美国广播公司新闻，其他与DOGE一起工作的特别政府雇员也计划被解雇。
虽然马斯克正在离开政府，但一名高级政府官员表示，他将继续担任总统的非官方顾问，并可能在未来参加白宫会议。
虽然白宫官员坚持认为，马斯克离开后，马斯克和特朗普关系良好，但总统对马斯克的离开保持沉默-特别是在马斯克离开后批评意见哥伦比亚广播公司(CBS)报道了特朗普的“大而美”支出法案，该法案上周在共和党领导的众议院获得通过。
“随着时间的推移，@DOGE使命只会加强，因为它已经成为整个政府的一种生活方式，”马斯克周三在宣布离职的社交媒体帖子中说。
In addition to Musk, multiple top DOGE officials leaving Trump administration
Multiple senior DOGE officials are in the process of leaving the Trump administration as Elon Musk officiallysteps away, sources told ABC News Thursday.
Among them is James Burnham, DOGE's top attorney, and Steve Davis, a longtime Musk lieutenant at Musk's private companies, who are both in the process of offboarding from their roles as a special government employees, a White House official confirmed to ABC News.
Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and X who helped launch the Department of Government Efficiency in order toslash the federal government, said on X Wednesday night that he wanted to thank President Donald Trump "As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end."
Musk and several other DOGE employees were hired at the start of the Trump's presidency as special government employees, which are limited to 130 days of service -- although Musk has previously said he expectsDOGE to continuethroughout Trump's term in office.
DOGE has thus far claimed government savings of $175 billion, although its aggressive cost-cutting tactics have spawned dozens of lawsuits and accusations that its work isunconstitutional.
Katie Miller, a special government employee who had served as a senior adviser and spokesperson for DOGE, is also leaving the administration and will work with Musk, sources said.
Burnham was a key attorney working closely with Musk and DOGE on the team's legal strategy. Davis, who served as one of Musk's most senior advisers at DOGE, was viewed as running day-to-day operations, and worked across multiple federal agencies during his tenure.
ABC News has reached out to those involved. Sources told ABC News that other special government employees who worked with DOGE were also planning to be off-boarded.
While Musk is stepping away from the administration, a senior administration official said he will continue to serve as an unofficial adviser to the president and could potentially attend White House meetings in the future.
While White House officials insist that Musk and Trump are on good terms as Musk departs, the president has been quiet about Musk's departure -- especially following Musk'scritical commentsto CBS News about Trump's "big beautiful" spending bill that passed the Republican-led House last week.
"The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government," Musk said in the social media post announcing his departure Wednesday.
