Bannon tore into Musk, revealing another fissure in the MAGA world over Trump's highly touted Stargate project.

After telling the audience "thank you" for reelecting Trump, Musk appeared to grab his chest and then forcefully extended his right arm fully into the air with an outstretched straight hand while making a grunting noise. He then turned around and repeated the gesture before touching his chest again and telling the crowd, "My heart goes out to you."

Advocacy groups have targeted Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency in lawsuits for allegedly violating transparency rules to advise Trump.

The blossoming relationship between President Donald Trump and tech titan Elon Musk was on full display throughout Monday's inauguration ceremonies.

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he would be supportive of the world's richest man and his close aide, Elon Musk, buying TikTok "if he wanted to". Trump was asked if he would be open to the billionaire founder of Tesla buying the short-video platform facing a nationwide ban in the US after the Supreme Court last week upheld a law requiring TikTok to sever ties with its Chinese parent ByteDance.

Elon Musk is clashing with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman over the Stargate artificial intelligence infrastructure project touted by President Donald Trump, the latest in a feud between the two billionaires that started on OpenAI’s board and is now testing Musk’s influence with the new president.

The tech billionaire and close ally of the president sniped at one of the White House’s first major proposals.

From the color of their neckties to the fit of their suits, male politicians can be intentional with their choices.

That is “Establishing and Implementing the President’s Department of Government Efficiency.’’ The acronym for that name is DOGE (named after a memecoin), and it’s the Elon Musk–led effort to cut government spending by a trillion bucks or two.

The president said he’s also open to another tech giant to acquire TikTok: Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle. Ellison was present at the White House for a $500 billion AI infrastructure partnership between the Trump administration and OpenAI, Softbank and Oracle. Oracle, a software company, houses most of TikTok's servers

Open AI CEO Sam Altman, Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison and Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son appeared alongside President Donald Trump to announce the Stargate plan.
