President Donald Trump faces the challenge of convincing Republican senators, global investors, voters and even Elon Musk that he won’t bury the federal government in debt with his multitrillion-dollar tax breaks package.

Elon Musk spoke to CBS this week as he departs from his voluntary government role running the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for the Trump administration: ELON MUSK: And you know, it's not like I agree with everything the administration does.

Elon Musk appeared with a mysterious black eye during his final Oval Office press conference with President Donald Trump, which he later attributed to his 5-year-old son, X Æ A-12

At a celebratory rally after Trump’s inauguration, Musk’s White House career got off to a contentious start when he seemingly offered a straight-arm salute at the Capitol One Arena in Washington, D.C., as he excitedly told the crowd: “My heart goes out to you.”

"It is very hard to separate Elon Musk's brand from the brand of Tesla, and SpaceX," a Harvard Business fellow told Newsweek.

Elon Musk has left the White House with little fanfare after splitting with Trump on policy and failing to meet his DOGE savings goals.
