5 biggest takeaways from Elon Musk’s farewell

Elon Musk is stepping down from his role as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the Trump administration, citing his need to focus more on his businesses like Tesla. Despite leaving, Musk insisted that DOGE’s work would continue, describing it as a “way of life” now embedded in the government. Trump added that Musk would still be involved informally. At the press conference, Musk was spotted with a black eye, which he explained was from his son playfully punching him in the face. He also refused to answer a question about alleged drug use, dismissing the New York Times report as untrustworthy.

In addition to Musk’s exit, Trump addressed other topics during the press conference. He commented on a video showing French President Emmanuel Macron’s wife shoving Macron, brushing it off as no big deal. When asked about the ongoing trial of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who faces charges of racketeering and sex trafficking, Trump said he hadn’t spoken to Combs in years but didn’t rule out a possible pardon if he felt there was mistreatment.
