Us Steel Deal | Elon musk exits dog; Harvard

Below is a summary of the three topics you mentioned, based on the NPR article from May 30, 2025, titled “Up First briefing: U.S. Steel deal; Elon Musk exits DOGE; Harvard,” along with additional context from other sources where relevant.

U.S. Steel Deal

President Donald Trump is visiting Pittsburgh on May 30, 2025, to celebrate a partnership between U.S. Steel and Japan’s Nippon Steel, a deal valued at over $14 billion. This marks a reversal from Trump’s campaign promise to block the sale, which former President Joe Biden had also opposed on national security grounds. After ordering a national security review last month, Trump announced his approval, claiming the partnership will add $14 billion to the U.S. economy and create or preserve jobs. However, skepticism persists, with posts on X questioning the deal’s job creation claims (70,000 jobs) and Nippon’s $14 billion investment pledge over 14 months, noting Nippon’s history of automation and refusal to confirm the investment figure. The deal is not a full acquisition but a partnership, with Nippon acquiring outstanding U.S. Steel shares at $55 each, matching their original offer.

Elon Musk Exits DOGE

Elon Musk is stepping down from his role as leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on May 30, 2025, after a 130-day tenure marked by controversy and legal challenges. Tasked with slashing federal spending, Musk claimed DOGE saved $160 billion, far below his initial $2 trillion goal, with critics arguing the savings are inflated and caused chaos through mass layoffs and agency disruptions. His departure follows a public dispute with Trump over a budget bill, which Musk criticized for increasing the deficit, and comes amid Tesla’s 71% profit drop, prompting him to refocus on his companies. Musk, a special government employee limited to 130 days annually, will join Trump for a final White House press conference. DOGE’s future is uncertain, but Musk insists its mission will continue. Critics highlight conflicts of interest, as Musk’s companies, like SpaceX, secured a $5.92 billion Pentagon contract while he led DOGE.

Harvard

Harvard University won a preliminary injunction from a federal judge, allowing it to continue enrolling international students despite Trump administration threats to limit such enrollments. The ruling is a temporary victory for the university, which hosts over 1 million international students contributing $43 billion annually to the U.S. economy. Ella Rickets, a first-year international student, told NPR’s Elissa Nadworny that while the decision is encouraging, she remains cautious, viewing it as “one step in a much larger process” to ensure safety and stability for international students. University leaders are concerned about declining international applications, reflecting broader fears of restrictive policies under Trump’s second term.
