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.

NASA’s Perseverance rover has discovered a bizarre, skull-shaped rock—dubbed “Skull Hill”—on the Jezero Crater rim of Mars. The dark, angular rock with tiny pits sharply contrasts the surrounding terrain. Scientists speculate it may have formed through erosion or resulted from an ancient impact event.
