Elon Musk Raises Concerns After Sporting Black Eye at White House Farewell — Here’s What He Says Happened

/1 Comment/in , /by

Billionaire Elon Musk stunned the White House press corps Friday by sporting a black eye to an Oval Office event to mark the end of his 130 days in the Trump administration.

“I’ve got a little shiner here,” the 53-year-old said after President Trump answered a question from Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy about “the first lady of France slapping her husband, Emmanuel Macron.”

“I wasn’t anywhere near France,” Musk added. “I was just horsing around with Little X, and I said, ‘Go ahead, punch me in the face,’ and he did.”

“Turns out even a five-year-old punching you in the face … ” he began before trailing off.

The mark was visible in pictures posted Thursday from a separate presentation that the now-former special government employee delivered about his company SpaceX’s plans to land on Mars.

“What do you think would be easier, colonizing Mars or making the government efficient?” a reporter asked. (Read more from “Elon Musk Raises Concerns After Sporting Black Eye at White House Farewell — Here’s What He Says Happened” HERE)

Elon Musk Formally Departs From DOGE Following a Tumultuous Tenure

/0 Comments/in , /by

Elon Musk is officially stepping down from President Donald Trump’s administration after 128 days of heading the Department of Government Efficiency.

Although his tenure was brief, Musk had his fair share of controversy and criticism from legacy media, even bucking the administration at times. Despite the dramatic saga, Musk was celebrated and commended by the administration and its allies after he announced his departure.

“As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President Donald Trump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending,” Musk announced Wednesday night. “The DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.” . . .

Whether it’s outrage over the United States Agency for International Development or the scandal surrounding the teenage engineer formally known as “Big Balls” and all the subsequent trolling, the DOGE has been a constant fan for the flames of controversy. Most recently, Musk defied the administration and expressed disapproval over Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” which barely passed the House last week.

Nevertheless, administration officials and MAGA allies praised Musk and his mission at the DOGE. (Read more from “Elon Musk Formally Departs From DOGE Following a Tumultuous Tenure” HERE)

Musk ‘Disappointed’ by Trump-Backed Spending Bill Amid $36 Trillion Debt Crisis

/0 Comments/in , /by

Elon Musk said he is “disappointed” by the costs of President Donald Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill” passed by Republicans in the House last week.

“I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing,” Musk told “CBS Sunday Morning” in an exclusive broadcast interview.

The remarks by Musk, who recently stepped back from running the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, are in contrast to Trump, who backed the legislation, which still needs Senate approval.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed 215 to 214 in the House. All Democrats and two Republicans, Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, voted against the bill. House Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Harris, R-Md., voted “present.”

The bill is a victory for Trump and House Republicans, who overcame policy disagreements to deliver on Trump’s key campaign promises, including an extension of his 2017 tax cuts and no tax on tips, overtime and Social Security.

Elon Musk Fires Back at ‘Huge Liar’ Bill Gates: ‘I Wouldn’t Want That Guy to Babysit My Kid’

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a scathing attack, Tesla CEO Elon Musk lashed out at Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, bringing up his ties to infamous sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Musk was responding to Gates’ attack over cuts to USAID led by the SpaceX owner’s DOGE.

Mediaite reports that the feud between tech billionaires Elon Musk and Bill Gates escalated to new heights on Tuesday, with Musk delivering a blistering critique of Gates during an appearance at the Qatar Economic Forum. Speaking via satellite with BBC journalist Mishal Husain, the Tesla boss did not mince words when responding to recent criticisms leveled at him by Gates.

The contention between the two moguls stems from Gates’ comments in a CNN interview, where he blasted Musk’s gutting of USAID, claiming it would lead to “millions of deaths.” Musk fired back, calling Gates a “huge liar” and stating, “That’s terrible.”

However, Musk didn’t stop there. He proceeded to take a personal shot at the Microsoft co-founder, referencing Gates’ controversial association with infamous sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “Who does Bill Gates think he is to make comments about the welfare of children given that he was close friends with Jeffrey Epstein?” Musk questioned, adding, “I wouldn’t want that guy to babysit my kid, I can tell you that.”

The scathing remarks from Musk are the latest development in an increasingly bitter public rivalry between the two tech titans. Previously, the Microsoft billionaire had criticized Musk in a discussion with the Financial Times, painting a grim picture of “the world’s richest man killing the world’s poorest children.” Gates also described Musk’s support of conservative politicians in America and sovereigntist parties in Europe as “insane shit.” (Read more from “Elon Musk Fires Back at ‘Huge Liar’ Bill Gates: ‘I Wouldn’t Want That Guy to Babysit My Kid’” HERE)

Pope Leo’s Older Brother Revealed to Be Massive Trump-Supporting MAGA Patriot, Praised JD Vance, Elon Musk

/0 Comments/in , /by

The brother of newly elected Pope Leo XIV has been revealed to be a huge Trump supporter who has praised both Elon Musk and Vice President JD Vance. The revelations come following the end of the conclave, which ended in Cardinal Robert Prevost becoming the next head of the Catholic Church.

According to Facebook posts from Lou Prevost, the older brother of Pope Leo XIV, is a huge supporter of Trump and a patriot. Following the second assassination attempt on Trump’s life from Ryan Routh in September, Prevost wrote online, “They tried to take President Trump out again. How does this happen?”

“I wonder who is so afraid of him becoming President again that they want him dead. He must know and have some real dirt on some people. Just makes one imagine what they were trying to find when they raided his home for supposedly stolen and classified documents if they’re willing to kill for it. Lord, protect him and keep him safe,” he added.

In another post, he detailed the many reasons why he was voting for Trump in the 2024 election against former Vice President Kamala Harris.

After the debate between Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Vice President JD Vance, Prevost wrote on Facebook, “JD was phenomenal debating Tim Walz and the moderators. Very knowledgeable and well spoken. He will make a great VP and then, a great President.”

Elon Musk, DOGE Team Credit Fed Workers for Helping Trim Waste, Fraud: ‘There Is Conflict, but That Is the Exception’

By New York Post. . .Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency team expressed their gratitude Thursday to the federal employees partnering with the cost-cutting agency as they work around the clock to eliminate wasteful spending and modernize the workforce.

The billionaire tech entrepreneur, 53, and several male staffers told Fox News host Jesse Watters that they’ve seen increased willingness from federal workers and agencies to collaborate with DOGE to improve government operations — noting that conflict is often a rare exception that’s heightened in the media.

“We’d like to just give a big thank you to all the government employees who are helping reduce the waste and fraud, because this is — we really couldn’t do it without you,” Musk said during a 10 p.m. staff meeting inside DOGE headquarters that was highlighted on “Jesse Watters Primetime.”

“I’m not trying to sort of say all government employees are bad. That’s absolutely not the case. It’s just that there actually just does need to be a serious effort to reduce the waste and fraud. And we’re just making that happen,” the DOGE chief continued.

Elon Musk Accuses Wall Street Journal of ‘Extremely Bad Breach of Ethics’ Over Report Tesla Is Searching to Replace Him

/0 Comments/in , /by

Billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk excoriated the Wall Street Journal over an article that made allegedly false claims that Tesla was looking to replace him as CEO.

The Journal claimed that the electric vehicle company had been searching for a new CEO and that the board told Musk he needed to spend more time at the company to reassure investors as well as the public.

On Wednesday, Musk vehemently denied the claims about his company.

“It is an EXTREMELY BAD BREACH OF ETHICS that the @WSJ would publish a DELIBERATELY FALSE ARTICLE and fail to include an unequivocal denial beforehand by the Tesla board of directors!” wrote Musk on the X platform, which he also owns.

He included a statement from Robyn Denholm, the chair of the board of directors at Tesla Motors, denying the report.

“Earlier today, there was a media report erroneously claiming that the Tesla Board had contacted recruitment firms to initiate a CEO search at the company,” read the statement.

Elon Musk ‘Starting to Think’ Chuck Schumer Is Getting Rich Through Government Fraud

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Elon Musk, President Donald Trump’s leader of DOGE, is now going to war with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, openly speculating the New York Democrat could be the recipient of “a piece of the action” through government fraud.

It started Monday evening, as Schumer launched an online attack in which he alleged the president “has unleashed chaos” on the nation:

Trump has unleashed chaos on America

—His tariffs hit families with largest tax hike in more than 50 years
—DOGE is sabotaging Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid
—The market is having its worst 3 days since COVID

And Congressional Republicans are going along with it all so they can cut taxes for billionaires.

Early Tuesday, Musk responded by saying: “Chuck, I’m starting to think you’re getting a piece of the action with the government fraud. But no, that couldn’t possibly be the reason, could it? …”

Trump Wants Musk to Stay With Admin ‘As Long as Possible’ — Says DOGE Found Something ‘Horrible’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump was adamant Thursday that he wants Elon Musk to be a part of his administration for “as long as possible,” teasing that the tech mogul’s team of government cost-cutters recently uncovered something “horrible.”

“I want Elon to stay as long as possible,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, before rattling off a list of reasons why he likes having the billionaire X owner around the White House.

“Number one: I like him. Number two: He’s doing a great job. Number three: He is a patriot,” the president said.

Musk, the unofficial head of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, is expected to leave his post at the end of May, when his special government employee (SGE) status expires.

Per federal regulations, SGEs can only work in government for 130 consecutive days – pegging May 30 as the Tesla, SpaceX and Starlink CEO’s last day as DOGE chief. (Read more from “Trump Wants Musk to Stay With Admin ‘As Long as Possible’ — Says DOGE Found Something ‘Horrible’” HERE)

Elon Musk Calls for Arrest of ‘Fake Ngo’ Leaders — Claiming They’re Part of ‘Uniparty’ Engaged in ‘Giant Money Laundering Scheme’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Elon Musk on Tuesday called for the arrest of leaders of “fake” organizations that receive federal funds — saying they represent a politically connected “uniparty” that’s engaged in “money laundering” of taxpayer resources.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief’s call for legal action comes as he spearheads efforts to trim annual federal spending by $1 trillion to halve the deficit.

“With respect to the non-governmental organizations, these sort of fake NGOs, I think there needs to be a number of arrests,” Musk said in an interview on Fox News’ “The Five.”

“These are fake charities [run by] mostly Democrats … there’s sometimes a little bit of Republican in there, because they sometimes throw the Republicans a bone to say, ‘Hey, be quiet about this.’ So that’s where you start getting the uniparty thing going on,” Musk said.

“But it is overwhelmingly to Democrats, and they give these billions of dollars to NGOs run by Democrats that then go through a whole network of additional NGOs — it’s a giant money laundering scheme. Really at this point, I think the word NGO and money laundering are almost synonymous.”

The term “uniparty” is used by President Trump’s supporters to describe politicians of both major parties who hold similar opinions on government operations, spending and foreign policy — generally in opposition to Trump’s populist agenda.
