Tesla Insiders Urge Musk to Resign Amid Declining Valuation

In a contentious CNN interview, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller struggled to defend the government's recent mass firings of nuclear security workers, which raised serious concerns about national safety. CNN's Brianna Keilar pressed him on the implications of these firings and a federal worker's termination while deployed, highlighting the administration's lack of understanding of federal workforce protections. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's leadership at X (formerly Twitter) has faced criticism as the company's valuation plummeted by 78% since his acquisition, attributed to reckless business practices that have led to legal issues and financial turmoil. Critics argue that Musk's ties to the Trump administration and his role in the controversial Department of Government Efficiency have resulted in conflicts of interest, benefiting his companies at the expense of federal programs. As Musk pushes for budget cuts and agency rollbacks, there are calls for Congress to reconsider government contracts awarded to his businesses in light of these concerns. The situation presents a potential political flashpoint, with implications for both Musk's financial interests and the broader impact on government efficiency and safety.
