Small homes are becoming more and more popular among consumers as a cost -effective option, which demands very little initial investment and continues the cost of maintenance in real estate prices and hostage rates.

The DOGE Wild Card in Musk's Feud With Trump
Andrew here. The Trump-Musk drama is back, and it could put a certain Silicon Valley star in a bind. We tell you who and what's at stake. We also dive into the Senate tax and policy bill that has gone back to the House, where it faces big challenges. And we have some thoughts ahead of this week's jobs numbers that could indicate what the Fed will do on interest rates. A Musk ally to watch The short-lived truce between President Trump and Elon Musk appears over, broken by Musk's persistent criticism of the Republican domestic policy bill — more on that below — and then the president's heated response. 'Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far,' Trump wrote on Truth Social on Tuesday. The president added, 'Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this?' But any move to sic the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, the government cost-cutting initiative that Musk championed, on him could put one man in an increasingly complicated position: Joe Gebbia, the Airbnb co-founder. Gebbia has many roles. He sits on Tesla's board and is a close friend and confidant of Musk, the Tesla chief. That means Gebbia has a fiduciary duty to the carmaker and its shareholders.

Thanks to the Fed's series of rate hikes in 2022 and 2023, inflation has cooled significantly from its post-pandemic highs, drawing closer to the 2% goal. This disinflation has occurred without severely impacting economic growth, suggesting the success of a soft landing. The stock market thrived in 2024, spurred by recent rate cuts (0.5% in September and 0.25% in November), and a notable surge followed Donald Trump's presidential election win in November, propelling indices to historic highs. Nonetheless, the outlook for 2025 remains clouded by potential trade policy changes and corporate tax discussions, which could impact business confidence and growth. The path forward holds both optimism and caution as new policies take shape. Want to invest in winners with rock-solid fundamentals? Check out our Top 5 Growth Stocks and add them to your watchlist.

Can Anyone Replace Elon Musk?
Who wants to lead the Department of Government Efficiency? With the departure of Elon Musk and his right-hand man Steve Davis from government, administration officials and members of the controversial cost-cutting effort have been in detailed discussions this week about who will functionally be in charge of it, according to four people familiar with the talks. Debate about who should take charge has spread through the White House, DOGE and Silicon Valley. In the first days after Mr. Musk's departure, it centered on the billionaire Joe Gebbia, one of Mr. Musk's close friends and a board member at his automaker, Tesla. Mr. Gebbia joined DOGE in February and had been under consideration to effectively take over Mr. Musk's signature government project, according to a half-dozen people briefed on the conversations. They spoke on the condition of anonymity to disclose private talks. But Mr. Gebbia, who rose to prominence in Silicon Valley when he co-founded Airbnb, began telling others that he was not interested in a role in which he alone would lead DOGE, according to some of the people. That is in part because of the intense scrutiny that would come with a formal role in charge of it. The current plan is for a small council of advisers, including Mr. Gebbia, to oversee DOGE, according to some of the people. The Airbnb co-founder has expressed interest in this broader leadership team. Another member of DOGE, the investment banker Anthony Armstrong, could join this leadership platoon, the people said. In 2022, Mr. Armstrong, then at Morgan Stanley, worked on Mr. Musk's deal to buy Twitter. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
