Elon Musk Recalls 'Intense' 3 Months At DOGE: Trump's Late-Night Ice Cream Invites, Lincoln Bedroom Sleepovers And Diablo
When Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk joined President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, he vowed to cut up to $2 trillion in costs and made waves by announcing thousands of layoffs and major contract cancellations. But as he remained in the spotlight with his high-profile role at the White House, Tesla began to struggle. Tesla deliveries in the first quarter plunged 13%, while the EV maker saw its market share in Europe fall to under 9% in the three-month period from about 18% last year. It suffered a double-digit market sales decline in China in March amid tough competition. Tesla shares are down 12% so far this year.

Amid increasing investor concerns and business headwinds at Tesla, Musk announced in the Q1 2025 earnings call that his time at DOGE will see a "significant" drop starting in May. Talking to a group of reporters at the White House last month, Musk said his first three months at DOGE were "intense" and he now plans to return to "primarily running my companies." Musk spoke candidly during the conversation, recalling his early days working in his government role. Musk said he stayed in the White House's Lincoln Bedroom "more than once" at Trump's invitation when he arrived late in Washington. 'He was like: 'Where are you staying?' I was like: 'I don't know. At a friend's house, I guess'' Musk said. "And then he was like: 'Why don't you stay here?' I was like: 'Sure.''

"He'll actually call late at night and say, 'Oh, by the way, make sure you get some ice cream from the kitchen,'" Musk said, noting that Trump would jokingly add, "Don't tell RFK," referring to US Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Musk said that he was assigned a "comically tiny" office on the top floor of the West Wing, with no view and a "glimmer" of sunlight. 'It has a view of nothing,' he said. 'It has a window but all you see is the HVAC unit, which is fine. It makes it harder to shoot me, I guess. There's not a good line of sight.'Musk said he had a large monitor connected to his computer on which he'd occasionally play two of his favorite video games — Diablo and Path of Exile. Musk said he was confident that DOGE could run without his daily involvement. "It's a way of life, like Buddhism," Musk said when asked who'd lead DOGE after him. "You wouldn't ask who would lead Buddhism." Read Next: Nancy Pelosi Invested $5 Million In An AI Company Last Year — Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: .

Taco Bell launches spicy new menu item featuring a hot partner
If you thought the classic Diablo sauce packet was Taco Bell's hottest creation, the fast-food chain is heating up the competition even more. A growing chicken craze has emerged among fast-food chains, with major players like Chick-fil-A, Raising Cane's, McDonald's (MCD) , and Restaurant Brands International's (QSR) Burger King and Popeyes focusing on launching new chicken-based products to dominate the market. As a pioneer of innovation, Taco Bell surely had to join the chicken trend by developing products with its signature taste. Related: Taco Bell reveals 30 new menu items launching in 2025 Over the last few weeks, the chain has launched multiple chicken-based menu items, including an entire Cantina Chicken Menu and a Caliente version nationwide. It also tested the Southwest Hot Chicken Crunchwrap, Southwest Hot Chicken Strips, and the Crispalupa in select locations. Currently, around 95% of Taco Bell's Test Kitchen creations now focus on chicken-based products, with more to launch soon. However, it got ahead of the competition by focusing on the smaller details. Yum! Brand's (YUM) Taco Bell first introduced Crispy Chicken Nuggets to its menu last December, and while available, they made up nearly one in six orders. This launch was so successful that it sold out nationwide in under a week after nearly 5 million customers tried the new addition. What makes these chicken nuggets stand out from the rest is the all-white meat chicken marinated in jalapeño buttermilk and coated in a crispy tortilla-chip coating, which Taco Bell developed after testing over 50 recipes and flavor combinations. Related: Taco Bell takes its Mexican menu somewhere unexpected Four months into 2025, Taco Bell relaunched its Crispy Chicken Nuggets and made them available at all participating locations nationwide. Although this menu item will only be available for a limited time, Taco Bell has mentioned that it's working on making the Crispy Chicken a permanent part of the menu by 2026. When the Crispy Chicken Nuggets relaunched nationwide, customers were given the option to pair them with Hidden Valley Fire Ranch Sauce or Jalapeño Honey Mustard. However, Taco Bell decided two sauces weren't enough. In March, Taco Bell revealed 30 new menu items it would introduce in 2025, unveiling the release of four new sauces and many exciting partnerships.

Starting May 22, customers can order this sauce at participating Taco Bell locations nationwide with their Crispy Chicken Nuggets order or pair it with any other item separately for an extra charge of 25 cents. However, that's not all, because Taco Bell and Mike's Hot Honey are also dropping Mike's Hot Honey Jackets. The merchandise can be ordered through the Taco Bell app beginning May 27 at 2 p.m. PST, while supplies last. Only the first 500 Rewards Members to claim a jacket will be eligible, per the press release.

Baby-faced ‘Little Devils' migrant gang runs amok in NYC thanks to lax state laws: ‘No consequences'
They keep getting busted, but it's the cops who are handcuffed. The pint-sized migrant punks who ganged up on an autistic teenager on Staten Island this month continue to run amok in the Big Apple — because the state's lax laws are putting up barriers for the NYPD. The cowardly baby-faced goons in 'Diablos de la 42,' an underage offshoot of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, have racked up dozens of felony busts over the past three years, but continue to roam the streets because they're too young to be locked up under the law. 7 A mob of marauding migrant punks calling themselves 'Devils of 42nd Street' have run amok in the Big Apple. Obtained by the NY Post 'We're not talking petty larceny, and he's not stealing a stick of gum,' NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told The Post this week. 'We're talking robberies, we're talking felonies, we're talking stabbings. And there's really no recourse. 'You know, there's no consequences,' the chief said. One teen terror has been so mischievous that he's been dubbed the poster boy for the gang, whose name translates to 'Devils of 42nd Street' for their reign of terror in Midtown Manhattan. The troublesome 15-year-old has more than a dozen busts on his rap sheet — and it took the May 5 attack on the disabled teen at the Staten Island Mall to finally get him locked up on Wednesday. 7 A 15-year-old member of the Tren de Aragua underage crew has been busted over a dozen times and was still free. Obtained by New York Post 7 One cocky crew of migrant punks even flashed gang signs on social media from inside an NYPD precinct. Obtained by NYPost Yet, he had been loose on the streets for months despite repeated busts for robbery and assault — the uncomfortable norm for dozens of other underage migrant marauders who know they're gonna walk, law enforcement sources said. One cocky Diablo bunch nabbed for ganging up on cops in Times Square this month was so brazen that they flashed gang signs from inside an NYPD stationhouse on pics posted to social media. And cops were investigating an armed robbery in Lower Manhattan shortly before 4 p.m. Thursday — with the 15- and 17-year-old suspects, believed to be part of the gang, snatching a sneaker at gunpoint from another teenager before running off. The crew, which law enforcement sources said now consists of about 40 minors, are largely migrants from Venezuela who were part of a wave of asylum seekers who began flooding the five boroughs in 2022, sources said. Cops have busted Diablos as young as 11 for a rash of assaults and robberies in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island, the sources said — with the crimes typically involving groups of young migrants who gang up on vulnerable victims like the 16-year-old autistic boy at the mall. 7 A 15-year-old member of Diablos de la 42 has become the poster boy for the migrant punks. 'It makes me sick these kids are still here,' the victim's mother said Wednesday. 'They should have been deported a long time ago. I had to keep my son home for a week because he was so scared.' The Diablos identify with their 'older brothers' in TdA, a violent gang that established a criminal foothold in the city by recruiting new members from inside tax-funded migrant shelters. Crews from both gangs have specialized in violent robberies, including grab-and-run scooter and moped robberies and armed robberies of retailers in the city. According to police stats, TdA and Diablos together have accounted for more than 400 arrests since the start of 2022 through the end of April this year — including nearly 120 busts for robbery, 82 for grand larceny and more than 50 for petty larceny. 7 The 15-year-old Venezuelan gangbanger has flaunted the law on social media and on the streets. Obtained by the NY Post 7 It took more than a dozen arrests before the 15-year-old migrant was ordered locked up this week. Gregory P. Mango Most of the crimes involved some form of assault, the data shows. 'You know, this goes for their older brothers, TdA as well,' Kenny said. 'Don't think that it's just a juvenile problem.' Albany's Raise the Age initiative was part of the sweeping criminal justice reforms that critics contend has led to a spike in crime in the Empire State. The statute, which was implemented in two stages in 2017 and 2018, raised the age of criminal responsibility in the state to 18, and allowed for criminal defendants to remain in juvenile facilities as old as the age of 21. Before, suspects as young as 16 could be automatically tried in adult criminal court. On the heels of Raise the Age, state lawmakers also adopted measures that prohibited judges from setting bail on nearly all criminal cases, save for the most violent felonies. 7 There are now about 40 members of 'Diablos de la 42,' with at least 30 'associates,' law enforcement sources said. Obtained by the NY Post Despite several tweaks spearheaded by Gov. Kathy Hochul, most crimes remain ineligible for bail. For New York's Finest, that means many of the migrant gangbangers they pick up are released without bail because their crimes don't qualify for bail under the statutes. For underage migrants, the ride is even sweeter. The teens are typically released to their parents with a future family court date — where the most they can get is a reprimand and a slap on the wrist.

COY has your SunDAZE sorted
With views across the marina to the city and Table Mountain, not to mention some darn fine food, COY has fast become a go-to restaurant for savvy gourmands in the city. Now this popular fine-dining destination is shifting down a gear on the weekend, with the new SunDAZE offering: a Sunday-only concept that launches this weekend, 18 May 2025! Unlike the more refined tasting menus on offer most days, SunDAZE serves up a set-menu – no changes or substitutions please! – meant for sharing. Created by co-head chefs Teenola Govender and Geoffrey Abrahams, SunDAZE is all about nostalgic flavours and experimental dishes developed exclusively for this new weekly occasion. 'With SunDAZE, we wanted to create something relaxed but still considered — a meal made for chefs, families, and anyone needing a proper Sunday reset. It's thoughtful food in good company, without overthinking it,' explain Teenola and Geoffrey. So what's on the table? Expect a curated set menu built around fire-driven cooking, that will change regularly with the whims of the chefs. But that could begin with marinated olives, amagwinya brioche with smoked sirloin, and Diablo flatbreads with hummus. Then dig into mains like whole roasted fish with Ras el Hanout and charred limes, followed by a decadent 64% Manjari crémeux with scorched meringue for dessert. SunDAZE costs R490 per person (minimum booking of two) with vegetarian and pescatarian options available.
