President Trump and DOGE head Elon Musk have sat down for an exclusive interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, which aired on 18 February. The two powerful men touched on a wide array of important issues, but mostly focused on their efforts to cut $1 trillion in government spending in the US.
Elon Musk has posted on X that the American Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was caught funnelling $59 million to hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants, while it was not able to help victims of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina in late 2024. Four FEMA employees, including CFP Mary Comans, have been terminated as a result of the scandal.
Elon Musk asked his 216 million followers on X if his new DOGE agency should ‘audit the IRS’, the US government agency tasked with collecting tax revenue from US residents. Unsurprisingly, the overwhelming majority voted yes, and Musk seems to take ‘the voice of the people’ seriously, as he demonstrated with the unbanning of Donald Trump on his platform back in November 2022.
Elon Musk reacted to reports that Hungarian opposition media outlets were outraged over Trump’s decision to halt US foreign assistance, cutting off substantial grants previously provided by USAID and the US Embassy in Budapest. Sharing Balázs Orbán’s post, the US billionaire pointed out that these outlets were never truly independent to begin with.
By voicing his support for AfD on his platform and challenging the taboo of German national guilt, Elon Musk has emerged as a key figure in the right-wing party’s gradual dismantling the ‘firewall’ that mainstream parties have upheld against it for years.
Elon Musk’s gesture at one of President Trump’s inaugural balls is getting a lot of mainstream media coverage, with many comparing it to a Nazi salute. However, such associations tend to not stick with the public at all by now, as proven by the events leading up to the 2024 US presidential election.
While the Western mainstream has launched an all-out assault on Elon Musk, Patriots for Europe has invited the American billionaire to lecture at the European Parliament on free speech. If anyone understands what it means to be suppressed by the mainstream it’s PfE, currently behind a cordon sanitaire in the EP, barred from holding chair and vice-chair positions in committees.
‘Elon Musk is dismantling one of the most powerful weapons progressives have wielded: the deliberate silencing of opposing voices. Musk is countering this strategy by simply allowing right-wing forces to voice their opinions. In other words, he is upholding their most fundamental democratic right: the right to freedom of expression.’

Former President of Hungary Katalin Novák announced in early September that she will take on new responsibilities, continuing to address global demographic challenges as co-founder and co-CEO of the non-profit organization XY Worldwide.
