Trump Defends Elon Musk with a Smile: ‘He’s Not Shy!’ | Elon Musk’s Press Moment Incoming?
President Donald Trump defended Elon Musk amid Democratic backlash over his access to Treasury payment systems. During a press conference with Japan’s PM Ishiba, Trump dismissed concerns, calling Musk "not shy" and praising his efforts in uncovering government fraud.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent backed Musk, calling him the "greatest entrepreneur." Meanwhile, Democrats accuse Musk of having undue influence after reports surfaced that DOGE found payments linked to fraudulent groups.
The controversy intensifies as Musk’s role in Trump’s administration grows.
US President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba have declared that the disputed Senkaku Islands fall under NATO’s collective defense. The move heightens tensions with China, which claims the islands as its own. During their meeting, Trump also threatened tariffs on Japanese goods if the trade deficit isn’t balanced. Ishiba, seeking stronger ties, praised Trump’s leadership and pledged increased US investments and defense purchases. As Washington and Tokyo reaffirm their alliance, the growing geopolitical rift with Beijing adds uncertainty to regional stability.

President Donald Trump has reignited discussions about U.S.-North Korea relations, declaring that his personal rapport with Kim Jong Un remains strong and could pave the way for renewed diplomacy. Speaking alongside Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba at the White House, Trump called North Korea "a big asset" and emphasized that "we will have relations" with the regime. Ishiba supported the dialogue, stressing the need for regional stability and denuclearization. The meeting also addressed Japan's long-standing grievances with North Korea, including the unresolved abduction of Japanese citizens.

Boston University staff member Jared May ignited controversy after posting a "Wanted for Treason, Dead or Alive" graphic targeting Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employees. DOGE, led by Elon Musk, aims to cut government waste, a key Trump 2024 campaign promise. May’s social media post, featuring young DOGE staffers, sparked backlash, prompting Musk to call it a "crime." Boston University distanced itself, but May’s staff webpage was removed. As Democrats label DOGE an "unelected shadow government," Musk claims the outrage confirms its mission's importance. The university has yet to respond officially.

In a significant move, the White House has placed restrictions on Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) following a lawsuit alleging unlawful access to sensitive financial data from the Treasury Department. Musk’s DOGE was temporarily barred from obtaining payment records, marking a critical development in the ongoing legal battle. The situation highlights growing tensions between the Trump administration and Musk’s initiatives to curb government waste. This decision comes as the Justice Department takes action in response to accusations of privacy violations.
