Are DOGE stimulus checks real? Elon Musk was vauge at a rally, putting a question mark on the checks. Plus, is Musk leaving DOGE? See what Trump said.

In an interview last week with Fox News anchor Bret Baier, Musk said he was on pace to leave his post in May, 130 days after he began. He said the goal of slashing federal spending was averaging “$4 billion a day, every day, seven days a week,” with a goal of trimming $1 trillion annually.

Looking at the work of Elon Musk’s DOGE and Donald Trump’s quick tanking ... debris was falling or stopped aircraft at their departure location,” the statement said in part.

As his government tenure nears its end, Musk has indicated that he has no intention of staying in Washington beyond May. His appointment as a special government employee caps his service at 130 days, and Musk has made it clear that he is eager to return to his business ventures.

Elon Musk acknowledged that his job as head of President Donald Trump’s effort to cut the size of government is “costing me a lot” when it comes to his other big job, as CEO of Tesla Inc.

Mark Cuban criticized Elon Musk's leadership of DOGE. Speaking on a podcast, he said the Tesla CEO lacked empathy.
