Trump heads home to Florida same weekend as nationwide protests are planned against him and Elon Musk − including some down the road from Mar-a-Lago.

Even the brightest of flames are bound to sputter out eventually, and lo, it would appear that the bright, brief bromance between Elon Musk and Donald Trump will soon be but a wisp of smoke, quickly dissipated to nothing in the White House’s climate-controlled corridors.

DOGE leading figure Elon Musk discusses his friendship with President Donald Trump on ‘My View with Lara Trump,’ airing Saturday.

The emerging company town, which is populated almost exclusively by employees of the Musk-owned SpaceX and construction workers, is the site of SpaceX’s launchpad for its Starship rockets, and the home-base for the human colonization of Mars, the online news organization reported.

Elon Musk recently said he'd take a step back at DOGE to focus more on Tesla, which reported disappointing Q1 earnings amid several difficult months.

Elon Musk might soon be leaving Washington, but he says DOGE needs to be a long-term project. Musk insisted in a TV interview that the project to slash government spending and eliminate entire agencies ought to endure amid signs that he may soon step away from the effort and return to his struggling electric car company.

Musk has been spending a lot of time in Washington, D.C., as the public face of the Department of Government Efficiency.

Tesla's profit plummeted by 71% during the first three months of 2025. This decline was attributed to several factors, including a lack of new models, intense competition from Chinese carmakers, delayed product rollouts, and Musk's controversial support of conservative causes.
