Musk may have changed US government forever. Is that a bad thing? You tell us.
There has been a tsunami of news coverage over the first 100 days of President Donald Trump's time in office. Depending on whom you ask, it's either been an American nightmare of hateful politics or the best thing to happen to the country in modern politics. USA TODAY Opinion has been covering the 100th day milestone with our usual vigor. Some of you even helped us do it. But while you can expect more of that coverage to roll out this week, we think it's time to give Elon Musk some attention. He did, after all, take up much of our collective focus these past three months. Whether using DOGE to lay off federal workers, taking the political stage with a literal chainsaw or watching Tesla's stocks plummet, Musk has been very busy trying to help Trump establish and enforce the MAGA vision for America. Your Turn: Trump is doing an amazing job. America needed an overhaul. | Opinion Forum And now, it appears Musk's time is winding down as he prepares to refocus on things like Tesla. Early news reports were that Musk would stay away at the 130-day mark at the end of May, but it now appears he might go part-time. Either way, it seems his role is diminishing. So, today we're asking our readers – that's you – how they feel about Musk. This might be the last time we ask, so feel free to let your voice be heard.

We'll even get your creative juices flowing. Consider some of these questions: Do you think Elon Musk has helped the country shrink our federal government? Do you think everything Elon Musk did on behalf of Trump was all for show? Are you glad or upset to see Elon Musk step aside from his DOGE work?
