P.M. Edition for Feb. 10. After Elon Musk took over Twitter, one of his deputies, Steve Davis, adopted a move-fast-and-break-things approach to make the company more efficient. WSJ White House economics reporter Brian Schwartz tells us how Davis, now working at Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, could use the same playbook for the federal government. Plus, Musk is leading an effort to buy ChatGPT maker OpenAI. And President Trump’s promise of mass deportations is causing immigrants to spend less. We hear from the Journal’s senior special writer Ruth Simon about who is feeling the impact. Alex Ossola hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter. Learn more about your ad choices.
