Elon Musk appeared at the White House with a black eye, which he said resulted from playful rough-housing with his young son. During a press conference with President Trump, Musk showed the injury while reflecting on his turbulent five-month tenure as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Despite claims of saving the government trillions by cutting waste, his efforts largely failed, including cuts linked to significant humanitarian consequences. Concurrently, Tesla is facing declining market share and its first sales drop in years, contributing to Musk’s declining popularity and reported exhaustion due to backlash against his ventures. Tesla’s board has been rumored to seek a new CEO, though they have denied these claims.
