'$21M for voter turnout in India': Elon Musk-led DOGE cuts grant; BJP responds
Sunday, 16 February 2025 The Department of Government Efficiency led by Elon Musk announced major spending cuts, including canceling $21 million for increasing voter turnout in India. Other cancellations include $29 million for political strengthening in Bangladesh and $40 million for a gender equality hub. These actions align with DOGE's mission to cut 'wasteful' spending, but have sparked controversy.

In a dramatic Independence Day twist, Elon Musk hinted at launching a new third political party in the United States, directly challenging Donald Trump’s influence over the Republican base.

A political firestorm has erupted after Elon Musk publicly declared his support for Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky who has drawn the ire of Donald Trump. Massie, known for opposing Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill and calling out recent Iran strikes as unconstitutional, now finds himself targeted by Trump in a fiery GOP primary feud.
Trump labeled Massie a “pathetic loser” and vowed to campaign hard against him. However, Musk’s financial support and vocal backing on X could change the game. Former Rep. Justin Amash and grassroots conservatives have also rallied behind Massie, portraying him as a principled fiscal conservative resisting bloated spending. With nearly $309K raised in just a week, Massie’s campaign gains momentum amid the MAGA-driven backlash. The battle now highlights a deeper rift in the Republican Party — between loyalty to Trump and commitment to independent conservative values.

Tune in as Trump doubles down on his public spat with Elon Musk during a tense press gaggle. He outright threatens to “take a look” at deportation and unleash the “monster” Department of Government Efficiency—DOGE—on Musk, claiming the billionaire benefits from “more subsidies than any human being in history.” Trump warns that without subsidies “Elon might have to close up shop and head back to South Africa.” Will DOGE be turned loose?

Elon Musk has stepped down from Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), sparking intense speculation over who will succeed him. The frontrunner appears to be Indian-origin entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who was initially appointed to co-run Doge before exiting to pursue gubernatorial ambitions. Other contenders include Amy Gleason, Tom Krause, and even a 23-year-old former intern. As Doge reels from Musk’s controversial reforms and job cuts, Trump remains tight-lipped, while questions swirl about the agency’s future and who will lead its radical mission next.

The New York Times has accused tech mogul Elon Musk of serious drug addiction, citing sources close to him. Musk, a close ally of President Donald Trump and former head of the DOGE task force, allegedly uses ketamine frequently and mixes it with ecstasy, psychedelics, and other medications. The report adds he carries a daily pill box with Adderall and was forewarned about SpaceX drug tests. Musk denied the claims, calling the Times untrustworthy, while affirming he will still advise Trump despite stepping down from his government role.

Elon Musk has officially stepped down as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) but vowed to continue advising U.S. President Donald Trump. Musk, wearing a “Dogefather” T-shirt, promised the project will thrive beyond his tenure and reduce a trillion dollars in government waste. He will now refocus on Tesla, SpaceX, and X but remains Trump’s “friend and adviser.” Trump praised Musk’s historic reform work and said he’s “really not leaving.” Despite scaling back political donations, Musk hinted DOGE is just beginning—calling it “a way of life, like Buddhism.”

Former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been sentenced to six months in jail by the International Crimes Tribunal for contempt of court. The verdict comes after a leaked audio call revealed Hasina allegedly mocking the judiciary and referencing a “license to kill” 227 people during the 2024 protests. The sentencing marks the first official ruling since her ouster and escape last year following mass student-led demonstrations. Former student leader Shamil Bulbul was also sentenced to two months. Defense lawyers call the charges politically motivated, while prosecutors hint at more charges to come.

Bangladesh interim leader Muhammad Yunus claims he asked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to block Sheikh Hasina’s online speeches — but Modi refused, saying, “It’s social media, you can’t control it.”
Yunus, who now leads Bangladesh after Hasina’s ouster, made this revelation during a talk at Chatham House in London.
As Hasina continues to address the Bangladeshi public from India, tensions rise, with Yunus accusing her of stirring unrest.
Meanwhile, Yunus’ own anti-India remarks and outreach to China have alarmed New Delhi.
Is Bangladesh heading into deeper turmoil? And is India taking a firm stand on digital freedom?
