Tech billionaire Elon Musk, whose time as a special government employee came to an end on Friday, said in a Sunday interview that he doesn’t want to “take responsibility” for all actions of the Trump administration.

In an interview on CBS News “Sunday Morning,” Musk said he disagrees with some moves President Trump has made, though he hesitated to discuss them in more detail, saying that might create “a bone of contention.”

“It’s not like I agree with everything the administration does,” Musk said in the interview. “I mean, I agree with much of what the administration does, but we have differences of opinion. You know, there are things that I don’t entirely agree with.”

“But it’s difficult for me to bring that up in an interview because then it creates a bone of contention,” Musk continued.

“So then, I’m a little stuck in a bind, where I’m like, ‘Well, I don’t wanna, you know, speak up against the administration, but I also don’t wanna take responsibility for everything this administration’s doing,’” he added.

Musk made sweeping changes through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) over the last few months. He has said he will continue to advise the president when asked, even though his official role as senior adviser to the president has come to an end.

In the interview, Musk stood by the work of DOGE and his efforts to reduce the size of the federal workforce and cut what he deemed wasteful or unnecessary government spending.

But he said DOGE “became the whipping boy for everything,” which Musk described as “a bit unfair.”

“So if there was some cut, real or imagined, everyone would blame DOGE,” Musk said. “I’ve had people think that, like, somehow DOGE is gonna stop them from getting their Social Security check, which is completely untrue.”
