  • Last week was a whirlwind of news, with major developments unfolding from the White House to El Salvador. From Elon Musk's new government role to President Trump's latest tariff imposition, the weekend was packed with stories that kept us on our toes.

The article from MSN Money discusses several key political and economic developments this week. Elon Musk's potential role in government was highlighted after he met with Donald Trump, sparking speculation about his involvement in a future administration. Trump's proposal to impose a 10% tariff on all imports if re-elected was also a significant point, aiming to protect American industries but potentially raising costs for consumers.

Lastly, Chevron's business dealings in Venezuela were discussed, focusing on the company's efforts to navigate U.S. sanctions and the complex political landscape to continue oil operations in the country.
