Mr. Musk, who says he will devote more time to his private companies, never came close to achieving his goal of cutting $1 trillion from the federal budget.

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.

The newspaper reported that Musk had been taking ketamine, ecstasy, mushrooms, Ambien, Adderall and other drugs while on the campaign trail with Trump.

Ketamine, ecstasy, magic mushrooms, and Adderall are said to be among the cocktail of drugs the billionaire was using.

Across multiple surveys, Musk's favorable ratings hover in the mid-30s to low-40s, with unfavorable ratings significantly higher.

As Elon Musk leaves his formal US government position, dozens of legal challenges over the billionaire’s powerful role in the Trump administration and the work of the Department of Government Efficiency will press ahead.

The right-wing podcaster admitted that the Tesla CEO threw the “baby out with the bathwater” by cutting too much, too fast.

Musk said he had "done enough" and that he will step away from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the inner-government group that has slashed federal budgets and workforces. As he prepared his goodbyes, Newsweek looked back at Musk's time in government and asked experts on whether he will have a lasting impact.

The Red Planet and Earth align properly for interplanetary missions just once every 26 months. The next such opportunity comes in 2026 between the months of November and December, and SpaceX will try to hit it; the goal is to send five Starship Version 3 vehicles to the Red Planet to prove out the vehicle and its associated tech, Musk said.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) promised to subpoena Tesla CEO Elon Musk once her Democratic Party has the majority in the House, which she predicted could happen with the midterm elections. Musk finished working at the Department of Government Efficiency in the capacity of a non-career special government employee this past week.
