Elon Musk 'Sits at the President's Desk' on Time Cover! DOGE Strikes Again: Blocks Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Website, X Account

Time magazine released the latest cover on the 7th, publishing a picture of TSL CEO Musk, who leads the US Government Efficiency Department (DOGE), sitting at the White House president's desk, suggesting that Musk is the real power of the White House, and at the same time, Musk took over and deleted the home page and X platform account of the US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) on Friday, causing controversy again. (Synopsis: U.S. Secretary of the Treasury: Agree with the DOGE department philosophy, no need to worry about Musk disrupting fiscal discipline) (Background supplement: Musk as a "special government employee" in the United States has a top-secret security clearance!) TSL CEO Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been granted enormous powers by US President Donald Trump to drastically reduce the size of the federal government, and the latest cover of Time magazine features Musk sitting at a resolute table in the Oval Office of the White House, smiling, holding a cup of coffee and an American flag behind him. TIME's new cover: Inside Elon Musk's war on Washington pic.twitter.com/QZ73CZqtnM — TIME (@TIME) February 7, 2025 This seems to imply that Musk is the real power in the White House, and Time magazine reported that Musk's actions have left "millions of government employees at Musk's mercy," and Musk now appears to be accountable only to Trump, who has given him full authority to push for government reform. However, when Trump met with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba on the 7th, when asked by a reporter what he thought of the new cover of Time magazine, he only responded in a cynical way: Is Time magazine still open? I don't even know. DOGE takes over and deletes CFPB's official website Meanwhile, Musk continues to drastically reduce the size of the federal government, with White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) director Russell Vought indirectly serving as acting director of the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) on Friday night, CNN reported. However, Musk's government efficiency department quickly intervened, he tweeted "CFPB RIP", DOGE TEAM IMMEDIATELY TOOK OVER AND DELETED CFPB'S X PLATFORM ACCOUNT THAT NIGHT, CFPB OFFICIAL WEBSITE HOMEPAGE ALSO SEEMS TO BE DELETED, SHOWING A 404 ERROR, BUT OTHER PAGES OF THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE ARE NORMAL. CFPB RIP — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 7, 2025 According to people familiar with the matter, there is frustration and anger within the CFPB. The incident comes after U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent ordered a near-total business freeze on the CFPB, which he was appointed acting director of the CFPB over the weekend, but his freeze order did not provide any timeline, leaving it impossible to know when the agency would resume operations. The CFPB has long been responsible for regulating the Financial Institution and providing consumer protections, and this sudden change has undoubtedly triggered widespread follow-up from politicians and regulators.
