Former President Trump intensified his feud with Elon Musk amid fierce debate over his massive tax-and-spending package, dubbed the "One Big Beautiful Bill."
President Donald Trump presented Elon Musk with a symbolic gold key to the White House on Friday, praising Musk’s work as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The send-off, held in the Oval Office, marked the end of Musk’s special government employee tenure, limited by law to 130 days. Trump hailed Musk’s leadership in rooting out government waste, fraud, and abuse, calling him “one of the greatest business leaders and innovators the world has ever produced.”
Democrats are intensifying their scrutiny of Elon Musk following his departure from the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Left-wing media figures are ramping up their attacks on Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), calling it “performative vandalism” without results. On CNN’s “Inside Politics” Thursday, The Dispatch editor-in-chief Jonah Goldberg accused Musk of “owning the libs by destroying government institutions without a larger purpose.” The New York Times’ David Fahrenthold echoed the criticism, claiming Musk’s disruption of government operations left little to show for it.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has announced a two-pronged strategy to implement the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) proposed spending cuts, following criticism from conservatives over their exclusion from recent legislation.
