Donald Trump is in office, and he has signed an executive order to create DOGE – the Department of Government Efficiency — with Elon Musk leading the way. The purpose of DOGE is, supposedly, to cut away the excess spending in government, and there are a lot of programs and job positions that have reportedly already been added to the chopping block.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday dismissed criticism from close ally Elon Musk about a $500 billion artificial intelligence project that Trump announced with great fanfare at the White House earlier this week.

Trump staffers are reportedly angry with Elon Musk for publicly undermining the $500 billion Stargate Project. Musk has questioned the finances behind the AI infrastructure project and used his social media influence to attack one of the project's leaders.
