Republican Leaders Call for End to Trump-Musk Dispute

Republican officials are expressing concern over the public feud between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, with party leaders urging both men to resolve their differences amid fears the conflict could impact legislative priorities. The dispute between the president and the world's richest man has raised questions about potential effects on Republican tax and border spending legislation, which Trump has promoted but Musk has criticized. Vice President JD Vance characterized Musk's actions as a "huge mistake" in going after Trump. In a Friday interview following the public confrontation, Vance described Musk as an "emotional guy" who became frustrated while expressing hope for reconciliation. "I hope that eventually Elon comes back into the fold. Maybe that's not possible now because he's gone so nuclear," Vance stated. The vice president's remarks reflect broader Republican concerns about the rift between two figures who […]

SpaceX’s $3 Billion Starship Explodes Mid-Flight

SpaceX Starship Experiences In-Flight Breakup During Ninth Test Flight SpaceX conducted its ninth Starship demonstration flight on Tuesday evening from Starbase, the company's launch facility in southern Texas, where residents recently voted to incorporate as an official city. The 403-foot rocket successfully lifted off but did not achieve its primary mission objectives when the spacecraft lost control and broke apart during flight. Following two previous test flights that ended in explosions, SpaceX aimed to deploy mock satellites after liftoff. This objective was not completed due to a malfunction in the payload bay door that prevented it from fully opening. The spacecraft subsequently entered an uncontrolled spin while traveling toward a planned landing zone in the Indian Ocean. SpaceX confirmed the spacecraft experienced what the company terms "rapid unscheduled disassembly," meaning it broke apart in flight. "Teams will continue to review […]

Elon Musk Makes Surprise Capitol Hill Appearance

Elon Musk visited Capitol Hill on Wednesday afternoon, meeting with senators to discuss energy policy, artificial intelligence, and strategic competition with China. The Tesla CEO and head of the Department of Government Efficiency arrived at a meeting room on the Senate side of the Capitol complex in what appeared to be an unexpected visit for most lawmakers and staff members. Musk has reduced his involvement in official White House activities recently, following his role in significant changes to federal operations during the early months of the current administration. Senator Dan Sullivan of Alaska confirmed that Musk participated in discussions covering artificial intelligence, energy matters, and broader strategic concerns. "It was a really good discussion," Sullivan stated. "He's got incredible insights on the broader strategic competition and stuff. That's what we were talking about." Sullivan indicated that the attendees were primarily […]

Musk Claims Tesla Stock Suffers Due to His Role in Trump’s Government Efficiency Department

Elon Musk believes his involvement with the Trump administration negatively impacts Tesla's stock performance. At a Wisconsin town hall, Musk stated that his position in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which advocates for significant government workforce reductions, is generating backlash against Tesla and affecting its stock value. "What they're trying to do is put massive pressure on me and Tesla, I guess, toโ€ฆ stop doing this," Musk said, according to Bloomberg News. "My Tesla stock and the stock of everyone who holds Tesla has gone roughly in half. I mean, it's a big deal." The declining stock isn't the only indicator of public discontent with Musk's political activities. Protesters gathered at Tesla dealerships over the weekend, and there have been reports of vandalism targeting vehicles and dealerships nationwide. Musk's political engagement extends beyond DOGE. He campaigned with Trump during […]

Trump Schedules Third Cabinet Meeting with Musk Expected to Attend

President Donald Trump will convene his Cabinet secretaries for a third known meeting Monday morning, with Elon Musk expected to participate, according to a senior administration official. The official described the 11 a.m. gathering as a "follow up on the last DOGE meeting," referring to a March 6 meeting where Trump established boundaries on the billionaire's authority following criticism of new cuts by the Department of Government Efficiency. Trump indicated on Truth Social that follow-up meetings would occur every two weeks, with Monday's meeting roughly matching that schedule. This meeting comes as Trump's administration confronts legal challenges regarding immigration and prepares to announce new tariffs โ€” while Musk continues to attract scrutiny over his role. On Friday, Trump rejected a report that Musk would receive a briefing on U.S. military plans for a potential China conflict during a Pentagon visit, […]

Trump Forces Amtrak CEO’s Sudden Exit as Musk Eyes Railway Privatization

Amtrak CEO Stephen Gardner resigned immediately after more than four years leading the national passenger railroad, following pressure from the White House administration. Sources indicate the decision came at President Trump's request. Gardner stated he was stepping down to "ensure that Amtrak continues to enjoy the full faith and confidence of this administration." Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy emphasized the need to address safety and security concerns at Washington's Union Station, particularly regarding homelessness and crime affecting commuter safety. Meanwhile, presidential advisor Elon Musk has suggested privatizing the railroad. Despite previous attempts to reduce federal funding, Congress recently approved $2.42 billion for Amtrak through September 2024. The railroad has shown strong performance, with ridership exceeding pre-pandemic levels and reaching 32.8 million customer trips in 2023, a 15% increase. Passenger revenue grew 9% to $2.5 billion, while operating losses decreased 9% to […]

Analysis Shows Trump’s Budget Proposals Would Increase Federal Deficit Despite Reduction Claims

President Donald Trump and his advisor Elon Musk have recently emphasized their commitment to achieving a balanced federal budget, with both making public statements supporting this goal on their respective social media platforms. However, financial analysis indicates their proposed policies would likely increase the federal deficit. According to the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB), Trump's proposed tax cuts - including extensions of his 2017 tax law and eliminations of taxes on tips, overtime pay, and Social Security benefits - would add between $5 trillion and $11 trillion to the deficit over 10 years. The administration's cost-cutting focuses primarily on specific areas like foreign aid and the Department of Education. Foreign aid currently represents 1.2% of the federal budget ($71.9 billion last year), while education spending accounts for approximately 3%. The House recently approved a budget featuring $4.5 […]

Billionaire Musk and UK Minister Clash Over Explosive Grooming Gang Claims

Health Secretary Wes Streeting has responded to Elon Musk's criticism of the UK government's handling of grooming gangs, describing the tech entrepreneur's comments as "misjudged and certainly misinformed." Musk, using his social media platform X, claimed Sir Keir Starmer failed to prosecute gangs involved in systematic grooming and rape of young girls during his tenure as director of public prosecutions. He also suggested safeguarding minister Jess Phillips should face imprisonment for rejecting a Home Office public inquiry into child exploitation in Oldham, advocating for a local inquiry instead. Streeting, speaking at a Carlisle care home, emphasized the government's commitment to implementing Professor Alexis Jay's independent inquiry recommendations. He extended an invitation to Musk to collaborate on addressing these issues, particularly through his social media platform's influence. Conservative figures have distanced themselves from Musk's statements. Alicia Kearns, Conservative spokesperson on safeguarding, […]

BILLIONAIRE CIVIL WAR: Trump Allies Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy Battle MAGA Base Over Immigration!

A debate over skilled worker visas has emerged among supporters of President-elect Donald Trump, highlighting potential divisions within his incoming administration. The controversy began when Vivek Ramaswamy, selected by Trump to reduce government spending, shared his views on the H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to hire skilled foreign workers. In a post on X, Ramaswamy suggested that American cultural priorities have led companies to seek foreign talent, stating that a society that "celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ" may struggle to produce top engineers. This perspective drew support from Elon Musk, Trump's chosen co-director for a proposed Department of Government Efficiency. Musk defended the H-1B program, comparing America to a successful sports team seeking top talent. He suggested the program attracts the "top ~0.1%" of engineering talent. However, their stance faced significant opposition from other […]
