The Peace Corps is the latest federal agency to be targeted by Elon Musk’s unofficial “department of government efficiency”.

Donald Trump on Friday afternoon extended by 75 days a deadline for the Chinese technology company ByteDance to sell US assets of the popular short-video app TikTok to a non-Chinese buyer or face a ban that was supposed to take effect in January under a 2024 law. “The deal requires more work to ensure all necessary approvals are signed,” the US president said, explaining why he was extending the deadline he set in January that was supposed to expire on Saturday.

My last day at NPR was yesterday. I'm heartbroken about not working with my favorite humans. But I'm excited about what's next (more soon)! My last story aired today, it's about Musk, xAI and Memphis. I see it as a harbinger of what's to come... https://t.co/x87pB3EjSM
I went to Memphis to see Musk's xAI supercomputer and learn how it got fast-tracked. This whole story is bananas. The city council didn't know, the utility company signed NDAs, it doesn't have permits for methane gas generators... And all this is for Grok https://t.co/ua6tNqmEfn
