The president confronted South African president Cyril Ramaphosa on the issue of the deaths of white farmers. Musk did not speak during the event, as President Trump asked staff to dim the lights in the Oval Office as he played a video of EFF leader Julius Malema chanting 'Shoot the Boer, Shoot the farmer.' Trump also showcased a series of news clippings including a file from the Daily Mail about the horrific crimes committed against...

    Administration officials and members of billionaire Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service — aided by local and federal law enforcement agencies — seized the institute’s privately owned headquarters in March and summarily removed its leaders.“The President’s efforts here to take over an organization outside of those bounds, contrary to statute established by Congress and by acts of force and threat using local and federal law enforcement officers, represented a gross usurpation of power and a way of conducting government affairs that unnecessarily traumatized the committed leadership and employees of USIP, who deserved better,” Howell wrote in her 102-page opinion.The judge said...

    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...

    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,...

    Elon Musk said DOGE “should definitely” investigate after The Post’s exposé of the Fed’s $2.5 billion revamp of its Washington, DC, headquarters — a lavish project that the Tesla titan called an “eyebrow raiser.” The Post exclusively reported earlier this week how the Fed’s top brass were pushing ahead with the pricey renovations despite mounting losses on its balance sheet, catching the eye of President Trump’s austerity axman-in-chief. “Since at the end of the day, this is all taxpayer money, I think we certainly — we should definitely — look to see if indeed the Federal Reserve is spending two...

    Sheryl Crow is opening up about her headline-making move against Elon Musk, saying the public protest of selling her Tesla was a way for her to fight for her children’s future. The “Soak Up the Sun” singer shared a video on Instagram in February of her Tesla being towed away, saying she was donating funds from the sale of the vehicle to NPR in response to Musk and President Trump’s calls to slash federal funding for public broadcasters. NPR, Crow said at the time, is “under threat” by Musk, the CEO of Tesla and head of the Department of Government...

    Tesla started a formal process to find its next CEO last month, amidst declining public opinion about billionaire Elon Musk, according to a bombshell report from the Wall Street Journal. “Board members reached out to several executive search firms to work on a formal process for finding Tesla’s next chief executive,” the Journal reported Wednesday night, citing people familiar with the matter. “The board narrowed its focus to a major search firm … The current status of the succession planning couldn’t be determined.

    The far-Right activist Tommy Robinson is reportedly being bankrolled by Tesla and X owner Elon Musk, months after the convicted criminal caused a rift between Musk and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. Robinson has faced a slew of legal setbacks in recent months, including losing an appeal to shorten his 18-month prison sentence for contempt of court after he repeated libellous comments about a Syrian refugee. The activist, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, also lost a challenge against his segregation in jail in March and was charged under the Terrorism Act for failing to disclose his mobile phone PIN...

    Elon Musk on Tuesday praised a Treasury Department report detailing hundreds of millions of dollars in "improper payment requests" as a "big deal."In a repost on X from the Department of Government Efficiency, it was stated that when the Treasury Department went "live with its first automated payment verification system," it reported identifying and rejecting $334 million in payment requests because of "missing budget codes, invalid budget codes (i.e., the payment was not linked to the budget), [and] budget codes with no authorization (i.e., the budget had already been fully spent)."DOGE added that the Treasury Access Symbol is an identification...

    Washington -- The infighting and backstabbing that plagued President Donald Trump’s first term have returned as a threat to his second, with deepening fissures over trade, national security and questions of personal loyalty. The latest turmoil threatens to engulf the Pentagon, where Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has pushed out top advisers and faces fresh controversy over sharing sensitive information about airstrikes in Yemen outside of classified channels. A former Pentagon spokesperson who was ousted last week wrote in Politico that Trump should fire Hegseth for presiding over a “full-blown meltdown.” The interpersonal drama is not - at least yet -...
