DOGE Cut 271,000 Jobs. Spending Still Went Up.

The Department of Government Efficiency disbanded in November after cutting 271,000 federal jobs, the largest peacetime workforce reduction since World War II. But new data shows federal spending rose by $250 billion anyway. Elon Musk now calls DOGE only "somewhat successful" and says he would not do it again. We break down what happened, why the math never worked, and what Musk's government experiment reveals about the limits of disruption in Washington.

Elon Musk's xAI is recruiting developers to build an AI-powered gaming studio from scratch. The company says it will release a fully AI-generated game before the end of 2026. This is not a research demo. It is a consumer product claim that puts xAI in direct competition with Microsoft, Nvidia, and traditional game publishers experimenting with AI. We break down what xAI is building, how the technology works, and what it could mean for the $600 billion gaming industry.

Elon Musk became the first person in history worth $700 billion after the Delaware Supreme Court restored his $139 billion Tesla pay package. Four days earlier he crossed $600 billion on SpaceX's surging valuation. He is now worth more than the next three richest people combined. The path to becoming the world's first trillionaire is now in view.

NASA’s new administrator, Jared Isaacman, hosts an agencywide town hall to talk about his vision for the agency’s future and answer questions from members of the workforce.

The Delaware Supreme Court just reversed a lower court ruling and restored Elon Musk's 2018 Tesla pay package, now worth $139 billion. The story behind this ruling involves a shareholder lawsuit, two rejections by a lower court judge, Musk's public attacks on Delaware, and a 49-page decision that says rescission went too far.

Elon Musk posted on X that there will be no poverty in the future and no need to save money because universal high income is coming. The same week, he told xAI staff that AGI could arrive by 2026. Last year he said AGI would arrive by 2025. We break down what Musk actually said, why his predictions keep slipping, and what happens when the richest person on the planet keeps promising a post-scarcity future that never quite arrives on schedule.Join my community at the APEX CREATOR CLUB >> https://whop.com/apex-creator-club/

A California administrative law judge ruled that Tesla engaged in deceptive marketing for Autopilot and Full Self-Driving, agreeing with the DMV's request to suspend the company's sales license for 30 days. The DMV is giving Tesla 60 days to fix its marketing or face the suspension. Tesla responded by saying sales will continue uninterrupted. The judge found that "Full Self-Driving" is unambiguously false and that "Autopilot" intentionally uses ambiguity to mislead consumers. We break down the ruling and what happens next.⁠Join my community at the APEX CREATOR CLUB >> https://whop.com/apex-creator-club/⁠
