Trump Fires Elon Musk: Controversial Cuts and Millions of Layoffs

Elon Musk's Controversial Tenure Ends with Trump's Dismissal Washington D.C. - The unexpected dismissal of Elon Musk from his governmental role by President Trump has sent shockwaves through the political and economic landscape. Musk's short time in office was marked by significant budget cuts and mass layoffs, sparking both praise and criticism.
