Elon Musk went from being one of Donald Trump's most influential allies in Washington to admitting he may have gone too far during his time in government. In a new interview, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO reflected on his role leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the sweeping federal spending cuts, and the controversy surrounding the shutdown of USAID. Musk defended his actions, saying his goal was to eliminate waste and misuse of taxpayer money. But critics argue the cuts had serious humanitarian consequences, sparking a wider debate over the impact of DOGE. This comes months after Musk's very public fallout with Trump over government spending, policy disagreements, and the president's signature tax-and-spending bill. Watch this video to understand where Trump and Musk stand now, whether the feud ended, or if this just a temporary truce? Cary Johnston brings you all the details on Firstpost America.
