Early bird: Musk tried to deter Trump from high tariffs. Court allowed fast deportation of migrants

The Supreme Court has allowed the US president to temporarily enforce a law that allows officials to quickly deport immigrants.
Musk unsuccessful in asking US President to step back from high tariffs
The richest man in the world, Elon Musk, as a confidant of US President Donald Trump, tried to persuade the White House boss to back down from high tariffs, but he failed in his efforts. Musk, who owns companies such as Tesla, SpaceX, and social network X and who was chosen by Trump to lead the group for the effective management of public administration (DOGE), posted several posts about tariffs on the web over the weekend. In the posts, he criticized Trump's trade affairs adviser Peter Navarro, who is considered the architect of the president's tariff plans, and called for the creation of a duty-free zone between the European Union and the United States. Navarro then, following Musk's comments, called him a car assembler who relies on parts from other countries, said Ceskenoviny.cz.

In a social media post, Trump wrote that the decision constitutes "a great day for justice in America".
