Ice cream from Trump and a ‘comically tiny office’: Inside Elon Musk’s wild 3 months getting DOGE rolling

Published

on


Elon Musk says he saved the U.S. taxpayer more than $160 million during his first three months getting the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) off the ground — but he also enjoyed midnight snacks of ice cream from the White House kitchen, a «comically tiny office» and a friendship with President Donald Trump. 

Fox News Digital was invited, along with a small group of reporters, to have an on-the-record discussion with Musk in the White House’s Roosevelt Room on Wednesday evening about his first 100 days as a special government employee.

That status allowed him to work for the federal government for «no more than 130 days in a 365-day period,» according to data from the Office of Government Ethics. Musk said the first 100 days was «an intense period» and said at times, he was in Washington, D.C., working on his DOGE efforts «7 days a week, or close to 7 days a week.» 

Musk said he will cut that down to one or two days a week, or every other week, and will continue working for the Trump administration «at the discretion of the president.»

«I’m willing to contribute one to two days a week, coming to D.C. every other week for one to three days—indefinitely, as long as the president wants me to do that,» Musk said. «It’s largely a volunteer organization.» 

Musk, in response to a question from Fox News Digital, said he has slept in the White House’s Lincoln bedroom multiple times.

«I didn’t think I would ever sleep in there,» Musk said. «The president, we’re good friends, and we’ll be on Air Force One, or Marine One, and he’ll be like, ‘do you want to stay over?’ and I’ll be like, ‘sure,’ and he’ll send me to the Lincoln bedroom.» 

Musk said he did not ever «request it,» but that Trump would always ask «‘do you want to stay here?’»

«And he gave me a tour of the Lincoln bedroom, and told me all the history,» Musk said.

«And then, he’ll actually call me late night and say, ‘by the way, make sure you get ice cream from the kitchen,» Musk recalled. «I ate a whole tub of ice cream—caramel. Häagen-Dazs.» 

Musk laughed, «Yeah, it’s epic.»

«Don’t tell RFK I ate a whole tub,» Musk laughed. «The president is a very good host, and he said, make sure you have some of the ice cream, and I said OK. I went to the kitchen and got some ice cream.» 

When asked for the exact number of nights Musk slept in the Lincoln bedroom, he replied, «I don’t know if I should say the number—more than once.» 

Musk was also given a small office in the White House, which he said he intends to keep.

«I’m keeping my micro-office,» Musk said, adding that it is «on the top floor it has a view of nothing.» 

«It has a window but all you see is an HVAC unit,» Musk explained. «I guess it’s harder to shoot me—there’s not a good line of sight in there.»

«I like my comically tiny office upstairs,» Musk said, adding that, while it is tiny, he has «the biggest monitor,» where he views «important information—secret stuff.» Musk admitted, though, that he has «occasionally played a video game.»

When asked by Fox News Digital which video game, Musk laughed and said, «Diablo in the Path of Exile.» 

As for DOGE, Musk said he is proud of its work so far, and «in the grand scheme of things, I think we’ve been effective,» just «not as effective as I’d like.» 

«I think we could be more effective, but we’ve made progress —and more progress than I think has happened since Clinton and Gore,» Musk said. «It is ironic to see the Clinton and Gore speeches — they sound like DOGE. If you took a transcript and say who said it? DOGE or Clinton-Gore? You would have a hard time. They sound identical to what we say.»

He added, «We are just Democrats from the ’90s who got teleported into 2025.»

«Things have just evolved. There is that classic saying, we didn’t leave the Democratic Party — the Democratic Party left us,» Musk continued. «Just, objectively, from a policy standpoint, that is just objectively true. Our goals are safe cities, secure borders, sensible spending—these used to be Democrat positions and perhaps they will be in the future — but they just seem like common sense.»

Meanwhile, Musk reflected on his day-to-day for the first 100 days, saying that things «have to be very intense for the first three months, so trying to understand what’s going on and map out the government in general.» 

«The federal government is a gigantic beast — very complicated — and so if you’re trying to figure out how to stop waste and fraud, you’ve got to map the territory,» Musk said. «That required three months of intense effort, and you have to build the team as well.»

«A new administration is like a start-up,» Musk continued. «Now, we’re getting more of a rhythm and so the amount of time necessary for me to spend here is much less and I can return to primarily running my companies, which do need me.»

Fox News Digital asked Musk if he has had fun during his first three months leading DOGE. 

«It’s like, 60% fun. 70% fun — depends on the week,» Musk said. «But being attacked relentlessly is not super fun. Seeing cars burning is not fun. But when I feel like we’re doing good for the American taxpayer and stopping wasteful spending and fixing computer systems, I feel like that’s a good thing.» 

A DOGE official at the meeting on Wednesday said that 1% of the federal workforce, or slightly more than 20,000 people, have been fired. However, that official stressed that the federal government has «hired 26,000 people.»

«So we have hired more people than we’ve fired,» the official said.

Musk chimed in and said, in America, «we actually want to have fewer people in the federal government and more people making things.»

Musk also told reporters that DOGE has referred cases of fraud to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution. 

«The wheels of justice turn slowly but, hopefully, surely,» Musk said. «When we find cases of fraud, we refer those cases to the DOJ — it is not DOGE prosecuting anyone.» 

Musk said there are «hundreds of thousands of cases of what appear to be fraud,» but a DOGE official said they have referred, at this point, 57 cases of possible voter fraud to the DOJ.

Musk also said he will meet with the House DOGE caucus next week, and said his work with House and Senate lawmakers has been «extremely positive.»

At the end of the conversation, Musk laughed and said, «It is funny that we’ve got DOGE.» 

«Are we in a simulation here? Or what’s going on? How did we get here?!» Musk laughed.

«I’m proud of the incredible work by the DOGE team who have taken a lot of flak and these are people who could easily get high-paying jobs in the private sector, and, in fact, came from high-paying jobs in the private sector,» Musk said.

DOGE has fewer than 100 employees.

«Some will stay on, some will not,» Musk said. «It is up to them. This is basically a volunteer organization.»

When asked if DOGE is winding down, Musk said, «No.»

Whitmer sounds off on Trump’s ‘constitutional crisis’ day after diplomatic appearance with him

Published

on


Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, D-Mich., said the United States is in a «constitutional crisis» after appearing alongside President Donald Trump in Michigan on his 100th day as president. 

Jon Favreau, former President Barack Obama’s speechwriter turned «Pod Save America» host, asked Whitmer in a social media clip posted Wednesday if the U.S. is in a «constitutional crisis» – just one day after she greeted Trump on the tarmac in Michigan before his speech to National Guard members.

«We are,» Whitmer said. «I think that no one is above the law. The thought that we’ve got an administration that is just blatantly violating court orders should, I think, scare everybody. This is a very serious moment.»

Democrats have consistently described the country’s current political moment as a «constitutional crisis» since Trump returned to the White House about 100 days ago. While Whitmer has warned of the «peril» Trump’s tariffs will have on Michigan’s auto industry and urged him to deliver disaster relief to her constituents impacted by ice storms, the Democratic governor and potential 2028 presidential candidate has struck a more diplomatic tone than her colleagues in the past 100 days.

«Trump is currently investigating Michigan colleges and universities for their diversity policies. He’s already tried to kick dozens of Michigan foreign students out of the country. He’s threatening to unlawfully freeze federal funding for Michigan public schools, as he’s already doing that in Maine, because Governor Mills spoke up in a meeting. Have you asked the president to stop targeting people and institutions in your state?» Favreau challenged Whitmer in a subsequent social media clip posted Wednesday.

«I have not had that direct conversation on this subject yet, but I’m not afraid to do that,» Whitmer said. 

«Isn’t it worth speaking up for the rights and the freedoms of those people when you’re at an event with him, or you are in a meeting with him?» Favreau asked, articulating the criticism Whitmer has faced within the Democratic Party for her treatment of Trump.

«Whenever I get the opportunity, I use every minute of that to cover a lot of different issues. So this is, I think, a very important one that you’re raising. There’s no question. And I will continue whenever I have opportunities to make sure that I’m covering as much as I can. No question,» Whitmer said.

Returning to the question of a «constitutional crisis,» Whitmer said, «Many of us are fighting the fights we can,» but it’s the court of law that should «have the last word.»

«I hope that we finally see some backbone out of some of the Republicans in Congress to stand up to the courts to enforce their orders. There are a lot of people that aren’t doing their jobs to protect the foundations of this country,» Whitmer added, shifting blame onto congressional Republicans for not standing up to Trump.

The clips were posted one day after Whitmer appeared alongside Trump ahead of his 100th day rally in Michigan. Whitmer successfully lobbied Trump to retire an A-10 Warthog aircraft based out of Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Michigan with 21 brand-new F-15EX Eagle II fighter jets.

Trump thanked Whitmer for bringing the issue to his attention and once again applauded her job as governor. Whitmer’s diplomatic moves seemed to put her out of step with her party on Tuesday as Democratic governors, many similarly rumored to harbor 2028 presidential ambitions, instead hosted a counter-programming event to Trump’s speech slamming his first 100 days in office.

Earlier this month, Whitmer hid behind a folder in the Oval Office in an image that went viral and earned her the ire of Democrats discontent with her diplomacy. The Michigan governor found herself in the corner of the Oval Office for a press conference where Trump praised her, after consistently ridiculing her on the 2024 campaign trail.

The Michigan governor’s trip to Washington last month brought her 2028 presidential ambitions into the national conversation as she directly engaged with Trump. Whitmer’s office explained that she was meeting with Trump to discuss recovery aid for the northern Michigan ice storm, investing in Michigan’s defense assets and building the American economy for everyday Michiganders.

Former ambassador says Ukraine victory is key to countering China, Russia

Published

on


Former U.S. Ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) James Gilmore is urging the Trump administration to repurpose funds cut from USAID to counter the growing global influence of China and Russia.

Gilmore agrees with President Donald Trump that making cuts to foreign funding requires a «scalpel, not a hatchet,» but asserts that more can be done to strategically reform foreign aid.

«The decisions we make today will create the world of tomorrow. If we start by abandoning foreign assistance, that new world will be run by China and our adversaries,» Gilmore told Fox News Digital. «Now more than ever, the U.S. needs to build up our military and national security strength while deploying a robust ‘soft’ power strategy and political initiative to counter China and Russia’s growing global influence.»

However, Gilmore stressed in a recent op-ed that «every dollar» of foreign aid must make America safer and stronger, and align with U.S. national strategy. He views aid spent in this way as an investment.

Additionally, Gilmore told Fox News Digital that he is concerned about rising isolationism among Republicans, especially as America’s adversaries use soft-power tactics to spread their influence.

«When America pulls back from global leadership, instability blooms, and our enemies take advantage,» Gilmore warned in his op-ed, adding that in the absence of American leadership «weak states become breeding grounds for terrorism and drug cartels.»

FORMER USAID OFFICIAL WARNS CHINA IS ALREADY LOOKING TO FILL VOID LEFT BY PAUSED PROGRAMS

Both China and Russia have invested in economic development efforts in recent years, particularly in Africa. The continent took a major hit when several USAID programs, including those aimed at combating hunger and disease, were shut down.

In February 2024, Russia claimed to have sent more than 220,000 tons of free grain to six African nations, according to Reuters.

A few months later, in November 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin offered Africa his country’s «total support» in fighting terrorism and extremism, the BBC reported. 

China has also made major investments in economic development across the globe. According to a 2024 report from the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, China has increased its development spending by 525% over the last 15 years.

In September 2024, Chinese President Xi Jinping pledged $51 billion in funding over the course of three years, Reuters reported.

Gilmore told Fox News Digital that the key to countering Chinese and Russian aggression is victory in Ukraine. He views the ongoing war as a «pivot to the future,» and said the U.S. cannot let Russia win.

«Ukraine is on the frontline of a new global war between democracies and authoritarian regimes that is being waged with both military and soft power,» Gilmore told Fox News Digital.

«If Ukraine is conquered by force, Putin will continue his long-term goal of reassembling the Russian empire, and compromising the safety, independence and of Europe, and challenge Europe’s friendship with the U.S.  A defeat of Ukraine will require more investment of resources to defend our allies.»

Por la guerra arancelaria, comerciantes de EE.UU. advierten que puede haber escasez de juguetes en Navidad

Published

on


Los fabricantes de juguetes, las tiendas de artículos infantiles y los minoristas especializados están interrumpiendo los pedidos para las fiestas navideñas, mientras los aranceles a la importación se propagan por las cadenas de suministro. Las fábricas de China producen casi el 80 por ciento de todos los juguetes y el 90 por ciento de los artículos navideños que se venden en Estados Unidos.

La producción de juguetes, árboles de Navidad y adornos suele estar ya en pleno apogeo. Se tarda de cuatro a cinco meses en fabricar, empaquetar y enviar los productos a Estados Unidos.

Advertisement

Los aranceles de Trump de 145% han provocado un drástico aumento de los costos para las empresas estadounidenses. La mayoría de los empresarios que han compartido sus planes con The New York Times aún no han cancelado sus pedidos. Esperan que el presidente Trump dé marcha atrás en su política arancelaria.

Pero la alarma en el sector es palpable, y las empresas predicen escasez de productos y precios más altos. Algunos empresarios, alegando lo cruciales que son las ventas navideñas para sus resultados, están consultando a abogados especializados en quiebras.

“Tenemos una cadena de suministro congelada que está poniendo en peligro la Navidad”, dijo Greg Ahearn, director general de la Asociación del Juguete, un grupo industrial estadounidense que representa a 850 fabricantes de juguetes. “Si no iniciamos pronto la producción, hay muchas probabilidades de que haya escasez de juguetes en estas Navidades”.

Para la industria navideña de Estados Unidos, la fabricación china no tiene rival en cuanto a velocidad y capacidad de producción. Los fabricantes de juguetes revisan grandes partes de sus líneas de productos cada año para adaptarse a las cambiantes preferencias de los niños. Desde los materiales hasta la maquinaria, las fábricas chinas son ventanillas únicas para los importadores.

Kara Dyer, fundadora de Storytime Toys, fabricante de libros infantiles con rompecabezas, suele hacer un gran pedido navideño a su fábrica china en las dos primeras semanas de abril para tener existencias suficientes a mediados de julio. Las fiestas navideñas representan aproximadamente dos tercios de sus ingresos anuales.

Dyer hizo un pequeño pedido de productos por valor de 30.000 dólares antes de los últimos aranceles, sin esperar que fuera a alcanzar niveles tan altos. Ese envío está de camino a Estados Unidos. Cuando llegue, dijo, cree que deberá unos 45.000 dólares en aranceles. El envío proporcionaría a la empresa existencias suficientes para unos meses, y dijo que probablemente subiría los precios al menos 20 por ciento para cubrir los costos arancelarios. Pero está esperando para hacer una gran compra navideña.

“Voy a mantener la esperanza durante dos semanas más de que se eliminen los aranceles y pueda hacer el pedido”, dijo. “Pero si no es así, tendré que poner mi negocio en pausa. No haré ningún pedido si los aranceles están en vigor. No tendría ningún sentido”.

Advertisement

En una encuesta de la Asociación del Juguete a 410 fabricantes de juguetes con ventas anuales inferiores a 100 millones de dólares, más del 60 por ciento afirmaron que habían cancelado pedidos, y cerca del 50 por ciento dijeron que dejarían el negocio en cuestión de semanas o meses si se mantenían los aranceles.

En West Side Kids de Nueva York, la propietaria de la tienda, Jennifer Bergman, de 58 años, teme no tener juguetes para vender en Navidad. Y los juguetes que consiga podrían costar el doble que el año pasado, lo que reduciría sus ventas en la época más importante del año.

Las empresas de juguetes están subiendo los precios entre un 10 y un 20 por ciento, dijo Bergman, cuya madre abrió la tienda hace 43 años. Dijo que ahora intentaría comprar todo lo que pudiera, pero que empezaba la escasez. Había hecho un gran pedido de patines del diablo para el verano. Pero el importador desvió el envío a Canadá porque no quería pagar el arancel. Le dijeron que solo recibiría una parte de su pedido.

Si se mantienen los aranceles, la Navidad será como “algo que nunca hemos vivido antes”, dijo Bergman. La gente hará cola para comprar cosas que cuestan el doble o el triple que antes. Su negocio ya estaba bajo la presión de la competencia de Amazon, pero teme que los aranceles supongan un golpe definitivo.

“No creo que siga en activo para Navidad”, dijo Bergman, quien agregó que estaba consultando a un abogado especializado en quiebras.

En los últimos días, Trump ha adoptado un tono conciliador hacia China y los aranceles, alimentando algunas esperanzas entre los empresarios de que pueda eximir a las industrias que no supongan una amenaza para la seguridad nacional.

Ahearn dijo que estuvo en Washington la semana pasada para presionar un favor de una prórroga de 24 meses, la cual podría dar tiempo a las empresas para encontrar formas de fabricar sus productos en Estados Unidos.

Pero aunque Trump conceda a los importadores un alivio temporal, se producirán importantes perturbaciones mientras las empresas se apresuren a satisfacer los pedidos. Se espera que los costos de envío se disparen, de forma similar al frenesí que se produjo durante la pandemia de COVID, cuando la escasez de contenedores de transporte llevó en algunos casos a multiplicar por diez los precios de los fletes.

La Navidad es la época del año de mayor actividad para Aldik Home, una tienda de artículos para el hogar de Los Ángeles. Genera más de dos tercios de sus ventas anuales en los tres últimos meses del año, vendiendo árboles de Navidad artificiales, coronas, adornos, luces y otras decoraciones.

Larry Gold, propietario de la tienda, dijo que llevaba muchos años trabajando con una fábrica china para diseñar árboles de Navidad. Hace el pedido en enero para enviarlo en junio o julio. Este año tenía previsto enviar desde China siete contenedores de 12 metros cargados con árboles por valor de 600.000 dólares. El arancel actual le obligaría a pagar casi 1 millón de dólares de golpe.

Advertisement

“Ahora mismo, les hemos pedido que aguanten y esperen”, dijo Gold, de 72 años.

El año pasado, la tienda vendió árboles de 2 metros por unos 1000 dólares. Gold dijo que no tendría más remedio que trasladar el costo arancelario a los compradores, lo que situaría el precio de ese mismo árbol en más de 2000 dólares. Señaló que, en efecto, ese precio “mataría el producto”.

“No puedo creer que nadie en este país que compre árboles a China pague el arancel del 145 por ciento, porque nunca los venderá”, dijo Gold.

Advertisement

A este ritmo no traerá los árboles, y su tienda, abierta desde hace décadas, no tendrá nada que vender durante el período más importante del año. Manifestó que probablemente se vería obligado a cerrar, lo que le costaría el puesto de trabajo a sus 40 empleados.

“Aquí no habrá industria navideña”, dijo Gold. “Todo el producto viene de China”.
