The head of the U.S. Government Efficiency Department, billionaire Elon Musk, has announced that the U.S. government will no longer fund Politico, The New York Times, and The Associated Press.

Axar.az reports that Musk shared this information on social media.

It is worth noting that earlier, reports had surfaced about several media outlets losing their office spaces at the Pentagon.

The US Government gave the New York Times tens of millions of dollars over just the past 5 years despite paying relatively little money to the NYT in the years preceding 2021. For instance, in August 2024, the US government awarded $4.1 million to the NYT.
