The senior Musk also made a request to President Trump to 'Listen to Elon,' adding that 'He's not a fool'. At last, Musk's father advised both Trump and Elon to 'talk it out.'
Trump-Musk feud
The feud between Trump and Musk reignited after the tech billionaire criticized Trump's new federal spending bill. So much so that he threatened to create a new political group, calling it the 'America Party,' if the bill is passed by the Senate.
Trump responded by questioning Musk's loyalty and criticizing electric vehicle mandates, which he called 'ridiculous.' Elon Musk knew, long before he so strongly Endorsed [sic] me for President, that I was strongly against the EV Mandate. It is ridiculous, and was always a major part of my campaign. Electric cars are fine, but not everyone should be forced to own one,' the president wrote on Truth Social.

After 'good' trials, roads min junks L1 bidding mode
NEW DELHI: In a major policy change, all highway agencies under the road transport ministry, including the NHAI, will soon replace the least cost (L1) mode for bidding out works for preparing detailed project reports (DPRs) with highest technical score (T1) for companies. The agencies will fix cost for consultancy service (bid price) and companies will be selected on the basis of their technical competence and ratings based on their past performance. Officials said the experiment of only fixed cost and highest technical score for bidding out works in the NHAI has been "good" so far, since its introduction in Sept last year. TOI on Sept 8 had first reported this crucial change in bidding parameters. "The new provision of rating of bidders and assigning 30% marks for technical score will further bring quality players to bid for projects," said a senior official. The policy change gains importance considering that there has been major deterioration in preparation of project reports after consultancy firms bagged projects quoting very low and unsustainable prices. Poor project preparation impacts quality of work and results in delay in implementation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo In developed countries such as Japan and Australia, govt entities pay more attention and time to preparation for DPRs for perfect execution. Officials admitted that there have been several cases where the prices quoted for preparing DPRs was as low as Rs 70,000-Rs 80,000 per km. "At such a low cost, no one can prepare a good DPR. Field surveys cost more than such quoted price. That was the trigger for fixing the cost, which approximately comes to Rs 4-5 lakh for one km of 4-6 lane highway. This is barely 0.5% of the overall project cost. In most other countries the payment made for DPR preparation is around 10% of project cost," an official said. He added that provisions have been made where companies that have key personnel from top 50 reputed technical institutes, such as IITs and NITs, will get a better score. "So, the entire framework of technical score, including the marks for ratings, is aimed at getting serious and quality players to bid for DRP works,"an NHAI official said.

Donald Trump set to launch America's 250th birthday bash in Iowa heartland
President Trump is all set to launch America's yearlong 250th birthday celebration Thursday at Iowa's State Fairgrounds, a location rich with political meaning for him. This spot hosted his first 2015 campaign helicopter arrival and 2023 rally, cementing Iowa's role in his rise. Organizers chose Iowa as "America's heartland" to symbolize national unity, though the state backed Trump in the elections always. The event featured Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA," fireworks, and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins alongside Homeland Security's Kristi Noem. Trump timed it perfectly: Hours earlier, the House narrowly passed his $3.4 trillion tax-and-spending bill, letting him tout policy wins before cheering crowds. America250 organizers hope the festivities bridge America's deep divides, but face steep challenges. Recent polls reveal a massive patriotism gap: 90% of Republicans say they're "proud to be American" versus just 33% of Democrats. Trump's approval rating sits at 40% amid criticism of his policies, including June's military parade that most Americans deemed wasteful. Even celebration funding is contentious: Federal humanities grants were cut, forcing cancellations of local programs like Declaration of Independence readings in Illinois. Iowa Democrats protested Trump's visit, warning his new law's Medicaid cuts will "devastate rural hospitals" and create "longer waits for care" . State fairgrounds fences separated supporters from protesters during the event. While Iowa launches the festivities, the main "Great American State Fair" will unfold on Washington's National Mall in 2026 with pavilions from all 50 states. Trump first pitched this fair during his 2023 campaign, envisioning it in Iowa, but planners shifted it to the capital for broader impact. Yearlong events include student contests answering "What does America mean to you?", a traveling tech exhibit, and a national time capsule buried in Philadelphia. Despite nonpartisan origins, Trump allies now dominate the planning commission, including producers of his rallies and a former "Stop the Steal" organizer. Conservative groups like PragerU are creating educational materials, prompting concerns about ideological framing of history. As fireworks lit the Iowa sky, the question remained: Can this celebration unite a nation where even pride in country splits along party lines?
