Elon Musk has revealed the results of a drug test in an effort to defuse claims that he was routinely taking ketamine in the run-up to the US election. The world’s richest man shared a report from a drug testing lab that contained a set of negative results for illegal and medical substances, including ecstasy, cocaine and ketamine. Published on his social media platform X, Mr Musk revealed results from a urine sample submitted to an Austin medical lab on June 13. It comes after the billionaire denied claims of drug-taking following a New York Times report in May. In...

The U.S. government has been running budget deficits for years — consistently spending more than it collects. And while neither party has managed to rein in the red ink, legendary investor Warren Buffett once offered a surprisingly simple fix. ... "I could end the deficit in five minutes,” Buffett told CNBC’s Becky Quick in a 2011 interview. “You just pass a law that says that any time there's a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election.” Now, that old clip is going viral again — and it's gaining fresh support in...

Musk: It's more than has been accomplished in any administration before, ever. This could be the greatest administration since the founding of the country. Trump: The vast majority of people in this country really respect and appreciate you. We want to thank you very much.

Friday on FNC’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) dismissed the possibility of the so-called “big, beautiful” spending bill stalling out on Capitol Hill because of Tesla CEO and former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk’s critique. “All right, Speaker,” host Jesse Watters said. “Is Elon going to derail the big, beautiful bill?” “Absolutely not,” Johnson replied. “Look, we are feeling the same energy that the President is. He’s leading. He’s delivering on his promises, and we all are. The big, beautiful bill is basically all those campaign speeches reduced to legislation. That’s what it is,...

SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s father Errol Musk said Friday on Al Arabiya English’s “Global News Today” that President Donald Trump will “prevail” in the public feud with his son. Musk said, “It seems a bit silly to me.” Host Tom Burges Watson said, “Do you think this is a bump in the road, or do you think this is the end of the road for the relationship between your son and Mr. Trump?” Musk said, “Just a bump in the road. It will fizzle out in a few days.” He continued, “I haven’t spoken to him, but I...

Friday on CNN’s “The Situation Room,” chief political correspondent Dana Bash detailed her morning phone conversation with President Donald Trump. Co-host Wolf Blitzer asked, “You had a chance to speak with the president this morning. How did that go?” Bash said, “Well, look, the headline in our conversation about Elon Musk is that the president says that he has no plans to speak with Musk, and he said that he thinks that Musk has got a problem. So the reason why that is the question right now is maybe, perhaps very obvious but behind the scenes, the push is on...

CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings might have had the best response yet Thursday to the very public Trump/Elon feud taking place over on X.During his appearance on "The Lead with Jake Tapper," Tapper spoke with Jennings about what everyone was witnessing and joked about who would get the CNN Senior political commentator in the divorce, President Donald Trump or Elon Musk. id="div-gpt-300x250_2" class="gpt-ad ad-90 text-center"> "Let me just tell you what every Republican is doing," Jennings replied after he grabbed a nearby trash can and proceeded to put his head inside the can.🚨 LMAO! Scott Jennings just responded to...

If you have walked the deep political weeds with us, you will likely remember the warnings. Thomas Massie, Chip Roy, Rand Paul and other fellow republican travelers will join with Elon Musk and the alligator emoji network to oppose President Trump as soon as they can get back into the minority.There is an intention behind this alignment of interests, which includes the Tech Bros (and Sea Island), that ends with a Vance-DeSantis promoted effort in 2028. The only thing standing in their way is MAGA. As a result, MAGA must be fractured.The money center behind the strategy is working on...

Elon was “wearing thin,” I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY! The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!

THE SHOW MUSK GO ON: President Donald Trump will host a vast “summer soiree” on the White House lawn this evening to celebrate thousands of political appointments to his government. But it’s one absent — and now very much former — political appointee who will dominate the conversation there and across Washington today. Elon Musk’s DOGE days might be behind him, but the world’s richest man still has the power to blow up U.S. politics with a single X post like few others can. And yesterday, he really went to town. A single post? You probably stopped counting, but Musk...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a merciful miracle, the Spirit of the Lord strengthened Elon one last time to push the pillars of Congress over, bringing the government crashing down. According to sources at the Capitol, the miracle occurred just in time to stop Congress's "big, beautiful" spending bill from being passed, while also causing the entire Capitol Building to violently collapse. Experts say the bill now has little chance of passage, as it is buried in rubble along with several hundred politicians. "Elon called to the Lord," said one witness. "He said, 'O Lord God, please remember me and...

They burned Elon’s businesses to the ground. They vandalized Teslas across the country. They assaulted Tesla employees and Tesla drivers… …all because Elon found waste and fraud in government …and the GOP won’t even vote on the cuts I can’t wrap my head around this.

Elon Musk joined Lara Trump on her show “My View” Saturday night on FOX News. During their conversation, Elon revealed that the DOGE Team found 100,000 federal employees collected uninsurance benefits while they were still at work. Collecting insurance benefits while still working is considered unemployment insurance fraud. Many states classify unemployment fraud as a misdemeanor or felony. Jail time is a significant risk and can range from several months to several years. Elon Musk says 100,000 government employees have committed this dishonest act. Elon Musk: We’ve actually found there’s a lot of people who are federal government employees. They’re...

President Trump requested $9.3 billion in rescissions, targeting programs like the State Department, USAID, PBS, and NPR. Congress was expected to vote on this, with Republican support aiming to codify cuts suggested by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). That vote was cancelled. ... If Congress doesn’t approve the recissions request within 45 days of receiving it, Trump will be legally required to release the money back to the agencies. Congress was scheduled to vote on rescissions this week to cut waste and fraud identified by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), targeting programs like USAID, PBS, and NPR. However,...

In a new advancement for brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, Brad Smith, the first nonverbal patient to receive Neuralink’s brain implant, has demonstrated how he edited and narrated video footage using only his brain signals. Smith is currently living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurodegenerative disease that impairs voluntary muscle control. In the video posted on YouTube last month, he demonstrated how he relies on Neuralink for all forms of communication. Smith is now the third person in the world to receive Elon Musk’s Neuralink brain chip, and the first with ALS. In January, Musk seemingly confirmed Smith’s participation...

In today’s edition of why the Democrat Party must be forever obliterated and never again allowed to hold power, we learn 73 percent of Democrat voters and 80 percent of self-identified liberals want Elon Musk thrown in prison. “A new telephone and online survey … of 1,067 U.S. Likely Voters was conducted on April 30-May 4, 2025 … finds that 54% of Likely Voters would support a hypothetical law that would imprison Musk for his role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE),” reads the report. This includes “39% who would Strongly Support such a law.” Here’s the exact wording...

Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Head, Elon Musk, made a massive revelation while speaking to Lara Trump on her Fox News program, My View. During the segment, Musk explained how over 100,000 federal workers were taking unemployment while still collecting paychecks from the government. For context, DOGE was established during one of Trump’s first executive orders and charged with fighting fraud, waste, and graft in the federal government. Since the department started work, it has had a number of bombshell reports that have electrified conservatives. Such was shown when Elon Musk appeared on Fox alongside Lara Trump on May 2,...

BLATANT THEFT. @elonmusk : "As soon as we started requiring them to upload receipts, all this spending STOPPED." ANOTHER reason to abolish the DoE! ... Everyone in governmenr does that.
