Elon Musk isn't afraid to make changes. On Thursday, Musk said he plans to step down from his role in DOGE in the spring. He made more news on Friday, when he confirmed X, the former Twitter that he purchased in 2022, has been sold to xAI, his artificial intelligence company.

More than a dozen states have moved to adopt DOGE-style tactics but have shied from setting concrete goals that the public could use to track their success.

A three-judge panel of the Virginia-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that a Maryland federal court judge was wrong to conclude that Musk and DOGE likely violated the U.S. Constitution in dismantling the agency.
