Does he regret supporting Trump? Musk responds
Recently, Musk's position and role in the Trump administration have drawn significant attention. U.S. media reported that Musk had disputes with high-ranking officials in the Trump administration, such as a loud argument with Treasury Secretary Mnuchin outside the Oval Office and referring Trump's trade advisor Navarro as an 'idiot' on social media.
Musk publicly stated in late April that he would significantly reduce the time spent managing the Government Efficiency Department starting in May, 'devoting more time to Tesla.' According to the Financial Times, Musk mostly works remotely rather than in the office near the White House, directing the Government Efficiency Department from a distance. The Washington Post reported that Musk is starting to 'grow weary' of politics.
Recently, Musk was interviewed by Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump, and when asked if he regretted supporting Trump, he immediately blurted out, 'Yes.' However, Musk quickly laughed and corrected himself, saying 'No' and requested, 'Cut that out.'
(Star Wars: Starfighter) will be subject to tariffs?
On May 4, Trump posted on social media 'Truth Social' stating that the U.S. film industry is 'rapidly declining,' with other countries attracting U.S. filmmakers and studios away from the U.S. through various incentives. Trump said that Hollywood has thus 'suffered a severe blow,' which poses a 'national security threat' to the United States.
Trump stated that he would authorize the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. Trade Representative to immediately initiate procedures to impose a 100% tariff on all films made abroad that enter the U.S. (Star Wars: Starfighter) is set to start filming in the UK this year, with a projected release in 2027. One netizen asked, 'According to Trump's film tariff policy, would this film be considered as one made abroad and therefore subject to tariffs?'
