  • Elon Musk says he isn't in charge of DOGE. OPM says it isn't directing mass firings. But none of Trump's walk-backs including on tariffs can be trusted.

The article from MSN discusses how former President Donald Trump's relationship with Elon Musk has seen significant fluctuations within a short period.

This back-and-forth reflects the volatile nature of Trump's public comments and his strategic use of relationships in the political and business arenas.
