President Trump welcomed television cameras into the Oval Office this afternoon for a goodbye event for Elon Musk, the billionaire whose short time in Washington was both exceptional and turbulent.

Elon Musk wore a dark ‘DOGE’ hat to a press conference President Donald Trump held to bid him farewell. Musk sported a black cap with the acronyms for the Department of Government Efficiency, which he announced he is stepping back from after leading it for months.

Democrats in particular have argued that Elon Musk and DOGE have no authority to make the spending cuts. We're also following the EU saying its "fully invested" in reaching a deal with the Trump administration to avoid sweeping US tariffs.
