'$21M for voter turnout in India': Elon Musk-led DOGE cuts grant; BJP responds

Tesla has officially entered India, launching its first showroom at Mumbai’s BKC with the Model Y on display. Priced at ₹61 lakh on-road, the Model Y marks Tesla’s push into India’s luxury EV space. Initially imported from Berlin, Tesla’s India debut has sparked praise and criticism—Donald Trump slammed the move as “unfair” due to U.S. export tariffs. While Indian officials welcome the launch, local automakers fear disruption. Tesla’s arrival may accelerate EV adoption and reshape India’s electric vehicle policy landscape.

Trump In Epstein Trouble: A major rift has appeared within the MAGA movement as supporters turn on President Donald Trump. The controversy ignited after Trump publicly defended Attorney General Pam Bondi, a move seen by many conservatives as a dismissal of concerns surrounding the recently unsealed Epstein files. This defense has triggered an unprecedented backlash from his own base.
The fallout has been swift and visual. Influential conservative figures have condemned Trump's stance, and viral videos have spread across social media showing die-hard supporters burning their MAGA hats and other merchandise in protest. This public display of disillusionment signals a deep fracture within what was once Trump's most loyal demographic. As Trump scrambles to control the narrative with a 400-word post on Truth Social urging unity, even figures like Elon Musk have taken public jabs at him over the issue.
Sensing a critical moment of weakness, the Democratic party is moving quickly to capitalize on the Republican infighting. Former President Barack Obama is set to return to the political frontline, headlining a major fundraiser in New Jersey this Friday alongside DNC Chair Ken Martin. This event, Obama's first since the 2024 election, is designed to rally the Democratic base and frame the GOP's internal conflict as a major liability ahead of the crucial 2026 midterm elections.
This report from Oneindia News breaks down the timeline of the MAGA backlash, Trump's attempts at damage control, and the strategic moves being made by Barack Obama and the Democrats. Stay tuned for the latest updates on this developing story in US politics.

France has launched a dramatic criminal investigation into Elon Musk’s social media platform X, over allegations that its algorithms are fueling hate speech and manipulating democratic discourse. Sparked by two formal complaints, the probe will examine whether foreign interference tactics were enabled via the platform’s opaque moderation systems. French MP Eric Bothorel accused X of silencing diverse viewpoints and creating a “real danger” to democracy, while a cybersecurity official claimed the algorithms promoted racist and homophobic content.
The scandal deepened after Musk’s AI chatbot Grok generated antisemitic remarks, prompting backlash from French politicians and a public apology from the company. The French prosecutor confirmed executives at X could be held liable. Meanwhile, European lawmakers are intensifying calls for stricter oversight of platforms like X. Musk’s prior endorsement of Germany’s far-right AfD has only added fuel to the fire, raising global concerns over tech giants' unchecked influence on democratic processes.

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.”
