Elon Musk

As courts block parts of his agenda, President Donald Trump and his allies are ramping up criticism of judges and continuing to question judicial oversight of the executive branch.

While he's said he would abide by their rulings -- but also appeal them -- he kept up the effort to undermine the authority of the courts on Wednesday, alleging in a social media post that a "highly political, activist judge" wanted to stop the work of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency...

The rise of new media, bolstered by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s inclusion of bloggers and influencers in the presidential press “pool,” has prompted the nation’s top conservative media watchdog to crown a handful of them “Bulldogs” of the industry.

Both X owner Elon Musk and top influencer Megyn Kelly lead the Media Research Center’s “Bulldog Awards,” a sign of the expanding media universe taking over a landscape once dominated by newspapers, magazines, radio, and TV.

The White House is encountering pushback from congressional Republicans as the administration works to enshrine the cuts instituted by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency into law.

Congressional Republicans have said in private conversations that it would be a stretch to codify even a small part of the cuts put in place by Musk, according to The Washington Post.

Senior Trump administration officials promised they would push through a roughly $1 trillion military budget for the coming year, even as the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) project aims to drastically shrink federal spending.

“We’re going to be approving a budget, and I’m proud to say, actually, the biggest one we’ve ever done for the military,” Trump said Monday during a White House event with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu...

Elon Musk’s first 100 days in the White House were filled with twists and turns as the world’s richest person became one of the most influential and contentious figures in Washington in a matter of weeks.

The tech billionaire wasted no time jumping into the political fray upon President Trump’s return to the White House, moving at breakneck speed to carry out the president’s government cost-cutting initiative, dubbed the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Democratic senators alleged Friday that tech billionaire Elon Musk may have used his White House job to drum up private deals in foreign countries for Starlink, his satellite internet service.   

In a letter to President Donald Trump, 13 senators led by Mark Warner, D-Va., wrote that Starlink seemed to make sudden breakthroughs this year in at least five countries that previously resisted giving the company footholds there. The senators called for Trump to investigate and make the findings public.  

About a month ago, with Tesla’s TSLA -0.58%decrease; red down pointing triangle stock sinking and some investors irritated about Elon Musk’s White House focus, Tesla’s board got serious about looking for Musk’s successor.

Board members reached out to several executive search firms to work on a formal process for finding Tesla’s next chief executive, according to people familiar with the discussions. 

Tensions had been mounting at the company. Sales and profits were deteriorating rapidly. Musk was spending much of his time in Washington.

Elon Musk on Thursday blasted The Wall Street Journal over a report that Tesla’s board of directors is looking to recruit a new chief executive to replace the billionaire in the top job.

The Journal on Wednesday reported that “about a month ago” Tesla’s board started reaching out to recruiting firms to formalize a process to find a new CEO. The company continues to face massive challenges as evidenced by its disastrous first-quarter earnings.

Tesla and Elon Musk are pushing back against a report claiming the company’s board launched a search for a successor to the mercurial CEO last month as he spent time away from the company leading President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency.

The Wall Street Journal reported late Wednesday that the board had reached out to executive search firms to initiate a formal process to identify potential replacements for Musk as the electric car maker grapples with slowing sales, shrinking profits and a bruising year on the stock market.
