Musk says he doesn't want to ‘take responsibility' for all Trump actions
Tech billionaire Elon Musk, whose time as a special government employee came to an end on Friday, said in a Sunday interview that he doesn't want to 'take responsibility' for all actions of the Trump administration. In an interview on CBS News's 'Sunday Morning,' Musk said he disagrees with some moves President Trump has made, though he hesitated to discuss them in more detail, saying that doing so might create 'a bone of contention.' 'It's not like I agree with everything the administration does,' Musk said in the interview. 'I mean, I agree with much of what the administration does, but we have differences of opinion. You know, there are things that I don't entirely agree with.' 'But it's difficult for me to bring that up in an interview because then it creates a bone of contention,' Musk continued. 'So then, I'm a little stuck in a bind, where I'm like, 'Well, I don't want to, you know, speak up against the administration, but I also don't want to take responsibility for everything this administration's doing,'' he added. Musk made sweeping changes at multiple federal agencies through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) over the last few months. He has said he will continue to advise the president when asked, even though his official role as senior adviser to the president has come to an end. In the interview, Musk stood by the work of DOGE and his efforts to reduce the size of the federal workforce and cut what he deemed wasteful or unnecessary government spending. But he said DOGE 'became the whipping boy for everything,' which Musk described as 'a bit unfair.' 'So if there was some cut, real or imagined, everyone would blame DOGE,' Musk said. 'I've had people think that, like, somehow DOGE is going to stop them from getting their Social Security check, which is completely untrue.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

'This is not the end of DOGE, but really the beginning.'

VFS ETM, a subsidiary of the VFS Global group, has announced a partnership with UAE-headquartered Rayad Group to provide immigration advisory services across five major US cities — Houston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and Washington, DC. According to a press release issued by VFS Global, the collaboration aims to make immigration services more accessible to US residents through designated VFS Global locations. As part of the initiative, the two organisations will set up a Centre of Excellence focused on high-quality immigration advisory services. The centre will leverage advancements in generative AI and draw on top-tier legal expertise to help clients navigate complex immigration procedures and stay compliant with evolving regulations. "As global immigration frameworks become more intricate and regulatory standards rise, this partnership will provide US residents with access to a network of experienced immigration, tax, and legal professionals,' the release stated. These experts will offer customised solutions for a wide range of immigration needs. Founded in 1994, Rayad Group has an extensive global network of associate attorneys in 45 countries and affiliations with 25 Citizenship by Investment Programmes. It also specialises in pathways to permanent residency, Golden Visas, US EB-5 visa programmes, and Green Card compliance. Rayad Kamal Ayub, Managing Director of Rayad Group, said the alliance comes at a time when immigration considerations for US Green Card holders are evolving. 'The recently announced 'Gold Card' initiative has generated significant interest among ultra-high-net-worth individuals,' he said. 'According to the US Department of Commerce, the programme may offer exemptions from income tax on global earnings for eligible participants, further enhancing its appeal.' Amit Kumar Sharma, Head of Americas at VFS Global, called the partnership a natural extension of both companies' strengths. 'Our collaboration with Rayad Group reflects a shared commitment to delivering exceptional service to our customers. By combining VFS Global's extensive worldwide operations and recognised leadership in visa services with Rayad Group's deep expertise in immigration and legal consulting, we are well-positioned to provide clients with comprehensive, up-to-date guidance on migration strategies and regulatory compliance,' he said.
