Trump Loyalist Russel Vought Takes Over DOGE, Vought To Lead Mass Layoffs With ‘Slash & Burn’ Agenda
Elon Musk has stepped down from leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), handing the reins to conservative policy strategist Russell Vought.
A key Trump ally, Vought is best known for shaping Project 2025 and pushing aggressive spending cuts and federal downsizing.
He aims to revive Trump’s Schedule F and slash budgets at agencies like USAID and NPR.
Musk, who reportedly wants to focus on Tesla and SpaceX, had worked closely with Vought during DOGE’s early days.
Critics warn Vought's Christian nationalist leanings and military spending cuts may spark major backlash.

Elon Musk and President Trump are set for one final appearance together at the White House this Friday. Musk, who served as a Special Government Employee under the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), will officially step down. Trump praised Musk on Truth Social, calling him “terrific” and promising he’ll “always be with us.” Musk thanked Trump for the opportunity and called for government-wide cost-cutting to become a permanent practice. His departure comes amid his criticism of Trump’s new “Big Beautiful Bill,” which he says threatens DOGE's mission.

Elon Musk's resignation from the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has ignited a firestorm on social media, with many questioning his American citizenship. Despite being a naturalized U.S. citizen since 2002, Musk's South African birth has led to renewed scrutiny over his national identity and role in U.S. governance. Musk announced his departure via his platform, X, after a 130-day tenure aimed at reducing federal spending. His exit followed public criticism of President Trump's "big beautiful bill," which Musk argued would exacerbate the federal deficit, undermining DOGE's objectives.

Elon Musk has announced he is stepping back from his role in President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), citing Tesla’s severe financial struggles as a primary reason. Tesla recently reported a 71% drop in profits and a 13% decline in sales, impacted by public boycotts linked to Musk’s political involvement. Meanwhile, Musk’s approval ratings have taken a hit, with polls showing growing public disapproval of his government role.

Elon Musk's departure from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) marks a significant shift in the Trump administration's cost-cutting agenda. Musk, who served as a special government employee, stepped down after reaching the 130-day service limit. His exit follows criticism of the administration's "One Big Beautiful Bill," which Musk argued would increase the federal deficit, countering DOGE's objectives.
During his tenure, Musk aimed to reduce federal spending by $2 trillion but managed to cut approximately $150 billion. His efforts included auditing government credit cards, canceling leases on underutilized federal buildings, and restructuring agencies like USAID and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

China has launched a scathing attack on President Trump’s proposed $175 billion “Golden Dome” missile defense system, accusing the U.S. of militarizing space and risking a global arms race. Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Zhang Xiaogang warned the plan could “open Pandora’s box” and violate the 1967 Outer Space Treaty. The proposed system—designed to intercept nuclear and hypersonic threats—has triggered international alarm, with China claiming the U.S. aims to turn space into a battlefield.

Trump's controversial "Liberation Tariffs" were swiftly restored within 24 hours after a federal court had initially blocked them. The U.S. Court of Appeals temporarily overturned the lower court’s decision, allowing the tariffs to take immediate effect. Trump hailed the reversal as a victory for American sovereignty and economic independence, slamming the trade court’s earlier ruling as politically motivated.

President Trump is fuming after one of his own judicial appointees, Timothy M. Reif, helped block his tariff plan targeting U.S. trade partners. Reif, a Democrat who served under both Obama and Trump, was part of a three-judge panel that issued the ruling. Trump took aim at Leonard Leo, co-chair of the Federalist Society, calling him a “sleazebag” and accusing him of betraying America by recommending Reif. The decision has since been paused by a full 11-judge panel, but Trump’s fiery rant on Truth Social reveals growing frustration over legal roadblocks.

SpaceX’s highly anticipated ninth Starship test flight ended in failure after a series of critical malfunctions mid-mission. Launched on May 27, 2025, from Starbase in Texas, the spacecraft initially achieved a successful ascent but quickly spiraled out of control due to a fuel system leak. The mission, which aimed to test reentry dynamics with missing heat-shield tiles and deploy eight Starlink simulator satellites, suffered multiple setbacks—including a booster loss and payload door failure.

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to defund NPR and PBS, directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to cut federal funding to public media. The move could devastate local stations, especially in rural communities, and marks a major escalation in the administration’s ongoing battle with public broadcasters. The order also calls for investigations into potential bias and employment discrimination, sparking legal and political backlash.
