Tech billionaire Elon Musk — CEO of Tesla and SpaceX — has officially announced his departure from his advisory roles in President Donald Trump’s administration. The decision came shortly after the White House declared its intention to withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement, a move that sparked international backlash.
In a widely shared tweet, Musk stated: “Am departing presidential councils. Climate change is real. Leaving Paris is not good for America or the world.”
Musk had served on two advisory councils for President Trump — one focused on business and economic policy, and the other on manufacturing and technology. Despite facing criticism from the tech community for accepting the roles, Musk previously defended his involvement by saying it was better to offer constructive input from within. However, the decision to pull out of the Paris Agreement crossed a line he could no longer support.
The Paris Climate Accord, signed by nearly 200 nations in 2015, aims to limit global temperature rise to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels. The U.S. — one of the world’s largest emitters of greenhouse gases — withdrawing from the pact has been met with widespread condemnation from scientists, environmentalists, global leaders, and prominent business figures.
Musk’s departure from the councils is both symbolic and significant. It highlights the growing divide between the Trump administration and leading voices in the tech and science communities. Other top executives, such as Apple’s Tim Cook, Disney’s Bob Iger, and Goldman Sachs’ Lloyd Blankfein, also expressed disappointment or chose to distance themselves from the administration’s climate stance.
With this move, Elon Musk reaffirms his commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable innovation. Both Tesla and SpaceX — the companies under his leadership — continue to pioneer technologies aimed at reducing carbon emissions and advancing clean energy solutions.
