Musk’s confrontation with Washington becomes the cover of a new issue of Time magazine
Musk’s confrontation with Washington has become the cover of the latest issue of Time magazine, with Elon Musk leading a massive streamlining of the U.S. government. His Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has taken over the U.S. digital services sector and entered the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), laying off workers, cutting budgets, and consolidating federal agencies. In early February, DOGE attempted to forcibly enter the headquarters of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). After being refused, Musk called it a “criminal organization” on X, and the agency was almost completely shut down.
The Trump administration authorized Musk to advance “Project 2025” reforms, with the goal of reducing the size of the government and eliminating opposition forces. Many civil servants were forced to resign because they refused to cooperate, and some senior officials of the organization were replaced. The Democratic Party and trade unions have initiated legal proceedings, and some courts have ruled to suspend relevant actions. But Musk still controls key institutions, and outsiders are concerned that government power is being excessively influenced by private entrepreneurs.

Arweave computing platform AO main network is online
After a year-long test-net phase, the decentralized storage project Arweave officially launched the main-net version of its computing platform AO. Native tokens previously minted and distributed to AR holders and testnet depositors will be transferable after the mainnet is launched.
AO, dubbed a “ultra-parallel computer” by developers, introduces a distributed computing environment with parallel processing capabilities. Arweave’s permanent data storage supports AO operations, ensuring that data is immutable and permanently accessible. According to core developers, AO will support a new wave of dapps, including on-chain autonomous agents that focus on AI coordination.
The launch of the AO Mainnet was accompanied by the final release of its native token, which was separate from Arweave’s AR token. The maximum supply limit for AO tokens is 21 million, echoing Bitcoin’s model. The AO team said it adopted a fair issuance allocation model to distribute tokens to users who bridge assets to the platform and existing AR token holders.
Based on holdings, 36% will be allocated to AR holders over time. The remaining 64% is set aside as economic growth incentives, particularly to bridge assets into the AO, which includes rewards for users who deposit assets such as DAI and stETH into the AO ecosystem. Prior to its release, more than $700 million had been pre-bridged to the AO testnet.
Arweave launched AO’s public test network in February 2024. By June, AO announced its native token AO, as well as token economics and reward mechanisms. The main function of AO tokens is to protect messaging within the network through system incentive proof.
