Elon Musk Supports Trump’s Power to Fire Executive Officials, Backing Mike Lee’s Suggestion

Elon Musk has backed the idea that President-elect Donald Trump should have the authority to fire any official in the executive branch, excluding the vice president.

This notion was voiced by Utah Senator Mike Lee, who believes the president should be able to remove any employee at any time for any reason.

The discussion arose amidst reports of Trump's plans to make unconventional personnel changes, including firing officials with fixed terms like the FBI Director and IRS Commissioner, positions that traditionally remain unchanged during transitions.

Experts note that while uncommon, the president holds the legal power to make such changes.

BREAKING: Zelensky Urges PM Modi to Meet at UNGA as Trump Threatens India Over Russian Oil

In a high-stakes diplomatic moment, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and proposed a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in September. The call comes as India faces escalating tariff threats from Donald Trump over its continued purchase of Russian oil — a key source of funding for Moscow’s war machine, according to Washington. Zelensky expressed gratitude for Modi’s warm words but urged stronger support from India, hinting at a potential turning point in New Delhi’s balancing act between East and West. With the Ukraine war dragging into its fourth year, global pressure is mounting.

Ukraine Strikes Russian Oil Refinery 2,000 KM from Border after Putin’s Ceasefire Proposal Rejected

Ukraine has launched one of its deepest and most daring drone strikes yet, hitting the Lukoil-Ukhta oil refinery in Russia’s Komi Republic — over 2,000 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. This unprecedented attack signals a major escalation in Ukraine’s long-range capabilities, directly targeting Russia’s critical infrastructure far from the front lines. Meanwhile, Europe and Ukraine have firmly rejected Vladimir Putin’s proposed ceasefire, instead presenting a joint counterproposal to the United States ahead of a potential Trump-Putin meeting, according to The Wall Street Journal. This video breaks down Ukraine's latest offensive moves, the global response to Putin’s proposal, and what this means for the future of the war. #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #DroneStrike #UkraineStrike #Putin #Ceasefire #KomiRepublic #UkrainianOffensive #UkraineNews #RussiaWar #Lukoil #MilitaryNews #Geopolitics #UkraineVsRussia #BreakingNews Also Read Ukrainian First Lady’s Special Surprise Stop In Jaipur Before Japan Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukrainian-first-lady-s-special-surprise-stop-in-jaipur-before-japan-visit-7821279.html?ref=DMDesc India, China, Brazil Could Be Hit Hard For Trading With Russia: NATO Secretary Rutte :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-china-brazil-could-be-hit-hard-for-trading-with-russia-nato-secretary-rutte-7802537.html?ref=DMDesc Ukraine Confirms F-16 Loss, Pilot Killed While Intercepting Russian Missiles And Drones :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukraine-confirms-f-16-loss-pilot-killed-while-intercepting-russian-missiles-and-drones-7786265.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.274~GR.124~ED.194~

WW3 Warning: ‘We Will Deploy…’ Russia’s CHILLING Warning Against U.S | Putin Lifts Missile Ban [Video]

WW3 Warning: ‘We Will Deploy…’ Russia’s CHILLING Warning Against U.S | Putin Lifts Missile Ban

In a chilling development, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev declared that Moscow is no longer bound by its self-imposed moratorium on deploying medium- and short-range missiles — a move that signals a sharp escalation in its confrontation with NATO. Citing “the result of NATO’s anti-Russian policy,” Medvedev warned the West to brace for “further steps,” calling this aggressive shift a “new reality” that Russia’s opponents must face. This policy shift paves the way for the Kremlin to deploy ground-based missile systems previously banned under the now-defunct INF Treaty. Moscow’s decision has sparked fears across Europe and the U.S. of a renewed arms race and heightened global instability. The announcement comes amid rising tensions over Ukraine, NATO expansion, and growing military drills along Russian borders. As Russia signals its readiness to respond forcefully, the geopolitical chessboard enters dangerous new territory. #RussiaMissiles #MedvedevWarning #MissileMoratorium #INFwithdrawal #NATOvsRussia #DmitryMedvedev #GlobalTensions #RussiaNATOClash #MilitaryEscalation #RussiaArmsRace #PutinMoves #NewColdWar #NuclearThreats #RussiaShortRangeMissiles #RussianForeignPolicy #GeopoliticalCrisis #EuropeSecurity #USRussiaTensions #ExpectFurtherSteps #KremlinStatement Also Read War between France-Germany, Elon Musk will become US president: Predictions by close Putin aide :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/war-between-france-germany-elon-musk-will-become-us-president-predictions-by-close-putin-aide-3504786.html?ref=DMDesc Post Putin’s announcement on constitutional reforms, Russian PM steps down :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/post-putins-announcement-on-constitutional-reforms-russian-pm-steps-down-3015280.html?ref=DMDesc No visa needed for Indians to visit Russia's far east :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/no-visa-needed-indians-visit-russia-s-far-east-2408596.html?ref=DMDesc

FBI ‘BLOODBATH’ On Trump's Orders? Kash Patel Faces Backlash-Calls to RESIGN After Agents Fired

Kash Patel, Trump’s FBI Director, is facing intense backlash after a wave of top FBI agents were ousted, including leaders from the January 6 probe. A group of former FBI and national security officials, calling themselves “The Steady State,” accuse Patel of turning the bureau into a political weapon for Trump. They warn that the purge threatens the FBI’s independence and undermines democratic values. Among the dismissed are high-ranking agents Brian Driscoll, Michael Feinberg, Walter Giardina, and Washington Field Office head Steve Jensen, in what critics are calling a “bureau bloodbath.” #KashPatel #FBI #PoliticalPurge #Bloodbath #Trump #FBIBacklash #SteadyState #Democracy #USPolitics #January6 #FBIDirector #PoliticalDrama #JusticeSystem #SecurityServices #Authoritarianism #TrumpAdministration #BreakingNews #LawEnforcement #DemocraticValues #FBIIndependence #USNews #PoliticalWeapon #FBIControversy #LeadershipCrisis #WashingtonDC #NationalSecurity #FBIInvestigation #TrumpTeam #BureauBloodbath #FBIShakeup Also Read FBI Chief Kash Patel Likely To Step Down :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/fbi-chief-kash-patel-likely-to-step-down-7799205.html?ref=DMDesc Pahalgam Attack: FBI’s Kash Patel Condemns Terror, Assures India of Complete Support :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pahalgam-attack-fbi-s-kash-patel-condemns-terror-assures-india-of-complete-support-4136541.html?ref=DMDesc FBI Arrests Punjab-Based Terrorist Harpreet Singh In US: Who Is Happy Passia? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/fbi-arrests-punjab-based-terrorist-harpreet-singh-in-us-who-is-happy-passia-4127219.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.124~

Trump Unleashes Fury: ‘Obama Behind Russiagate Takedown Plot’ | Calls It America’s Darkest Scandal [Video]

Trump Unleashes Fury: ‘Obama Behind Russiagate Takedown Plot’ | Calls It America’s Darkest Scandal

In a fiery interview, President Donald Trump accused Barack Obama of being the “mastermind” behind the infamous Russiagate conspiracy—a plot Trump says was fabricated to destroy his presidency. Citing newly declassified documents from Special Counsel John Durham’s 2023 report, Trump claimed Hillary Clinton and top Obama-era officials coordinated a disinformation campaign to link him to Russia. He alleged that Obama not only approved the plan but “pushed it,” fueling what he called the “biggest scandal in American history.” Trump criticized Clinton but noted he chose not to prosecute her after winning in 2016—an act he now regrets. The documents, released by DNI Tulsi Gabbard and Senator Chuck Grassley, reportedly expose links between Clinton operatives and George Soros-funded groups, alongside FBI involvement. Trump insisted he wouldn’t interfere with legal proceedings, leaving the decision on indictments to AG Pam Bondi. The revelations mark a potential political earthquake in the run-up to 2025. #Trump #Obama #Russiagate #DurhamReport #HillaryClinton #PamBondi #TulsiGabbard #ChuckGrassley #PoliticalScandal #BreakingNews #TrumpNews #ObamaScandal #ClintonEmails #DeepState #RussiaHoax #FBIInvolvement #GeorgeSoros #USPolitics #MediaManipulation #DeclassifiedDocuments ~HT.410~GR.122~ED.103~

‘Disheartening….’ Kash Patel’s Girlfriend Alexis Wilkins Drops BOMBSHELL On ‘Mossad Agent’ Claims [Video]

‘Disheartening….’ Kash Patel’s Girlfriend Alexis Wilkins Drops BOMBSHELL On ‘Mossad Agent’ Claims

Country singer Alexis Wilkins has broken her silence after becoming the center of an online firestorm accusing her of being a Mossad agent "honeypotting" FBI director Kash Patel. Speaking on the Megyn Kelly Show, the 26-year-old strongly denied the bizarre conspiracy theory, calling it “incredibly disheartening.” The rumors intensified after a Justice Department memo on Jeffrey Epstein debunked claims of a hidden client list. Conspiracy theorists shifted their focus to Wilkins, citing her ties to conservative nonprofit PragerU, whose CEO once served in the Israeli army. However, Wilkins, who is Armenian and Christian, rejected the narrative, saying critics are tying “pieces of evidence” together “in all the wrong ways.” She emphasized her genuine relationship with Patel, whom she met in Nashville in 2022. “He’s honest, patriotic, and has incredible integrity,” she said. Despite their 19-year age gap, Wilkins insists the connection is real—and not a covert operation. #AlexisWilkins #KashPatel #MossadAgentClaim #SpyRumors #FBIChief #PatelWilkins #MegynKellyShow #WilkinsDenial #PoliticalConspiracies #MossadAccusation #CountrySinger #OnlineTrolls #EpsteinMemo #JusticeDepartment #PragerU #Disinformation #FBIAllegations #Patriotism #SpyTheories #ArmenianChristian ~GR.125~HT.408~

VIDEO: Tim Cook Gifts Trump This Item As Apple Seals $600 Billion Pledge To Invest In America

In a jaw-dropping moment inside the Oval Office, Apple CEO Tim Cook presented President Donald Trump with a one-of-a-kind memento — a stunning disc of iPhone glass mounted on a 24-karat gold base — as he announced Apple’s colossal $600 billion investment in US manufacturing. The handcrafted gift was designed by a former US Marine Corps corporal currently working at Apple and features Trump’s name, Cook’s signature, the Apple logo, and “Made in USA 2025” engraved onto the glass. The base, made from Utah-sourced gold, symbolizes Apple’s deeper commitment to American soil. Standing beside Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Trump praised Apple’s investment surge and reiterated his push for iPhones to be made in the USA. The latest $100 billion pledge adds to Apple’s earlier announcements to create 20,000 jobs and build domestic infrastructure. This grand gesture — and golden gift — comes amid rising pressure on US companies to bring production home. #TimCook #DonaldTrump #AppleInvestment #MadeInUSA #GoldGift #TrumpTimCookMeeting #AppleGlassGift #iPhoneManufacturing #AppleUSA #CorningGlass #USJobs #TrumpWhiteHouse #AppleAnnouncement #TimCookTrump #OvalOfficeGift #TrumpNews #GoldBase #USManufacturing #TechInAmerica #AppleMadeInUSA
