Tesla has denied reports that it has contacted recruitment firms to launch a search for a replacement for Elon Musk as chief executive. The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that the electric car firm's board began looking for a successor to Mr Musk last month.

MSNBC's Ali Velshi speaks to Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM), the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee's DOGE subcommittee, about the promises Elon Musk made for DOGE versus the underwhelming reality DOGE has produced.

Elon Musk might soon be leaving Washington, but he says DOGE needs to be a long-term project. Musk insisted in a TV interview that the project to slash government spending and eliminate entire agencies ought to endure amid signs that he may soon step away from the effort and return to his struggling electric car company.
