Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and, depending on whom you ask, the perceived head of the Department of Government Efficiency, is taking a big step back from his role in the federal government. He’s doing so amid sinking international popularity, both as a political figure and as a businessman. But let’s be real here: Musk is still a billionaire many times over, and the Department of Government Efficiency really did put multiple government agencies — and the careers of tens of thousands of government employees — into a metaphorical wood chipper. Brian Barrett, executive editor of news at Wired Magazine, explains what Musk’s time in power has meant for average Americans. And in headlines: The Supreme Court let President Donald Trump’s ban on trans troops in the military take effect for now, Trump had an awkward Oval Office sit down with Canada’s prime minister, and the Department of Justice asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit seeking to limit access to the abortion drug mifepristone.

  • It's Wednesday, May 7th.

  • I'm Jane Koston, and this is What A Day, the show that,

  • like the Trump administration, has not held any tariff negotiations with the Chinese government.

  • Honestly, the similarities between me and the Trump administration on this front are almost scary.

  • Neither of us have any idea what we're doing,

  • but both of us are really good at coming up with weird explanations for that.

  • On today's show,

  • the Supreme Court lets President Donald Trump's ban on trans troops take effect, for now.

  • And Trump has an awkward Oval Office sit-down with Canada's Prime Minister.

  • But let's start with Elon Musk.

  • Remember him?

  • The world's richest man, and depending on whom you ask,

  • the perceived head of the Department of Government Efficiency is taking a big step back from his role in the federal government.

  • Though, based on his continuous Fox News interviews,

  • he will be sticking to his role of talking a lot about how the sun will eventually incinerate the Earth,

  • so that's why we all have to move to Mars.

  • Yes, that is a real thing he really discussed with Fox News host Jesse Waters, as one does.

  • So, eventually, all life on Earth will be destroyed by the sun.

  • The sun is gradually expanding, and so we do, at some point,

  • need to be a multi-planet civilization, because Earth will be incinerated.
