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. #ElonMusk #RussellVought #DOGE #Trump #GovernmentEfficiency #Project2025 #ScheduleF #FederalCuts #ChristianNationalism #Tesla #SpaceX #MuskExit #VoughtAgenda #BudgetCuts #NPR #USAID #CFPB #MilitarySpending #GOP #PoliticalNews #WashingtonWatch #BureaucracyReform #TrumpAdmin #GovernmentOverhaul #WhiteHousePolicy #SpendingCuts #PolicyShift #BreakingNews #ConservativeAgenda #MuskVsVought Also Read Elon Musk Exits Trump Administration After Slamming ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ on His Way Out :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-exits-trump-administration-after-slamming-big-beautiful-bill-on-his-way-out-4166709.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk Criticises Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill', A Fracture In Key Relationship :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-criticises-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-a-fracture-in-key-relationship-4166667.html?ref=DMDesc SpaceX Starship Explodes Mid-Flight During Third Test, Firm Cites 'Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/spacex-starship-explodes-mid-flight-during-third-test-firm-cites-rapid-unscheduled-disassembly-4165683.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.124~

Musk Vs Trump: What Next For Trump’s Doge After Elon Musk Quits Trump Team? DOGE in Trouble?

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. #ElonMusk #Trump #TrumpDOGE #TrumpVsMusk #MuskResignation #MuskTrumpFallout #ElonMuskNews #TrumpAdministration #MuskQuits #MuskGovernmentExit #WhiteHouseLive #MuskPoliticalViews #TrumpNews #USPolitics #ElonMuskControversy #MuskSteppingDown #TrumpWhiteHouse #MuskPoliticalDecision #ElonMuskStatement #TrumpMuskDrama #TrumpAdministrationChanges ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.346~GR.122~

Elon Musk UNVEILS ‘Baby Grok’ AI App For Kids After Grok Bot's Antisemitic Scandal SHOCKS Internet

Elon Musk has just announced that his artificial intelligence startup xAI will soon launch a new kid-friendly app named Baby Grok. The app is expected to feature AI-generated content tailored for children, though Musk has yet to reveal specific features. The move comes just days after xAI launched Grok 4, the latest version of its chatbot, which previously sparked outrage for posting antisemitic content on X (formerly Twitter). Musk’s announcement raises eyebrows across the tech world — is Baby Grok a sincere attempt at safe AI for children, or damage control following the Grok scandal? With xAI pushing boundaries at breakneck speed, and controversy still fresh, Baby Grok already faces scrutiny before its official debut. Musk’s pivot to children’s content could signal a new strategy for the troubled AI platform, as it tries to rebuild trust. But will the world trust Grok — even in its diapered form? #BabyGrok #ElonMuskAI #xAI #KidFriendlyApp #AIForChildren #GrokBot #MuskAnnouncement #AIControversy #AntisemitismScandal #TechNews #ArtificialIntelligence #Grok4 #SafeAI #AIChatbot #xAIUpdate #ElonMuskNews #ChildSafeTech #GrokScandal #MuskAIPlans #TechDrama ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.124~

The GRAND Tesla Entry Into India | Musk’s EV Giant Opens First Showroom in India at the KC, Mumbai

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. #TeslaIndia #ElonMusk #ModelYIndia #TeslaLaunch #BKCShowroom #EVIndia #TrumpVsTesla #ElectricVehicles #TeslaMumbai #TeslaIndia #TeslaExperienceCentre #LuxuryEV #MakeInIndia #IndianEVMarket #GigaBerlin #EVRevolution #TeslaNews #AutoIndustry #PolicyShift #TrumpSlamsTesla #BreakingNews #EVAdoption #India2030 #GlobalAutoNews #ElectricMobility #TeslaInAsia Also Read Tesla Model Y Launched In India: Price, Features, Variants, Colours, Deliveries & More :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/tesla-model-y-car-price-in-india-check-car-deliver-waiting-period-variants-features-colours-ot-7801577.html?ref=DMDesc Linda Yaccarino Resigns As CEO Of X After Two Transformative Years :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/linda-yaccarino-resigns-as-ceo-of-x-after-two-transformative-years-7796371.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk’s Starlink Cleared To Operate In India, Services To Begin Soon :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-s-starlink-cleared-to-operate-in-india-services-to-begin-soon-7796229.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.125~

Trump In Epstein Trouble: Obama Ready To KNOCK OUT Trump Ahead Of Midterms | Musk Snubs Trump On X [Video]

Trump In Epstein Trouble: Obama Ready To KNOCK OUT Trump Ahead Of Midterms | Musk Snubs Trump On X

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. #DonaldTrump #MAGA #USPolitics #BreakingNews #OneindiaNews #EpsteinFiles #Obama #PamBondi #LatestNews #Politics #TrumpInEpsteinTrouble Also Read Trump Imposes 35% Tariff On Canadian Goods; Threatens More In Case of Retaliation :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-imposes-35-tarifss-on-canadian-goods-threatens-more-in-case-of-retaliation-7797777.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Slaps 50% Tariff On Brazil Over 'Witch Hunt' Trial Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-slaps-50-tariff-on-brazil-over-witch-hunt-trial-against-bolsonaro-011-7796631.html?ref=DMDesc US President Donald Trump Announces 25% Tariffs On Japan, South Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-announces-25-tariffs-on-japan-south-korea-7794333.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~

‘X Is Threat To…’ France Launches CRIMINAL PROBE Into Musk’s X Over Hate Speech And Algorithm Bias [Video]

‘X Is Threat To…’ France Launches CRIMINAL PROBE Into Musk’s X Over Hate Speech And Algorithm Bias

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. #France #ElonMusk #XPlatform #FreeSpeech #HateSpeech #AI #Grok #Misinformation #AlgorithmBias #TechNews #Macron #Cybersecurity #AfD #EuropeanPolitics #SocialMedia #MuskAI #DigitalRegulation #MediaManipulation #DemocracyThreat #Disinformation Also Read Linda Yaccarino Resigns As CEO Of X After Two Transformative Years :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/linda-yaccarino-resigns-as-ceo-of-x-after-two-transformative-years-7796371.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk’s Starlink Cleared To Operate In India, Services To Begin Soon :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-s-starlink-cleared-to-operate-in-india-services-to-begin-soon-7796229.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.124~
