With the furor over top Donald Trump officials participating in a Signal chat room discussing an attack on Yemen with journalist unintentionally invited to listen in not fading, some White House insiders are predicting an ouster is in the works.

According to a report from Politico, on Wednesday White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Vice President J.D. Vance met with Trump in the Oval Office to counsel him on relieving national security adviser Mike Waltz of his duties for including The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffery Goldberg to the participant list as well as his clumsy defense afterward.

While there are calls from Democrats for Trump to fire Defense Secretary Pete Heghseth for blabbing details about the attack in Yemen on Houthi rebels before it happened, it appears that it is Waltz, a former GOP House member, who is on the hot seat with Trump.

The report notes that at the Wednesday meeting, it was proposed that Waltz be "shown the door" but there are fears among insiders that Trump will look weak for bowing to demands for someone to be fired.

"Despite simmering anger directed at the national security adviser from inside the White House, Waltz still has his job five days after The Atlantic first published its explosive story on the Signal chat. That doesn’t mean he’s safe yet, according to the two people," Politico is reporting before adding, "In fact, the two allies have heard some administration officials are just waiting for the right time to let him go, eager to be free of the newscycle before making changes."

According to one source, "They’ll stick by him for now, but he’ll be gone in a couple of weeks.”

After reports about the meeting leaked, Vance rallied to Waltz's side by telling reporters, "If you think you’re going to force the president of the United States to fire anybody you’ve got another thing coming! I’m the vice president saying it here on Friday: We are standing behind our entire national security team.”

However, as Politico is reporting, Walt's star has dimmed considerably after dragging the White House down.

"Behind the scenes — and despite the White House’s public effort to cast the entire episode as a smear campaign by the media — there’s a sense that Waltz has lost the trust of his colleagues and flubbed his response," the report notes.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk's losing streak continued on Wednesday.

Hours after Republicans in Wisconsin lost a state Supreme Court race in Wisconsin where Musk spent tens of millions of dollars of his own money, shares of his flagship electric car company fell upon news that it had badly missed Wall Street estimates for the number of vehicles it had delivered in the first quarter of 2025.

As reported by Market Watch, Tesla revealed that "it delivered more than 336,000 vehicles during the first quarter, down from 387,000 deliveries a year ago."

To put this number into context, Market Watch notes that it "was well below the average analyst estimate compiled by FactSet of 404,000 vehicles" and it "was also lower than the 'whisper' number, or what Wall Street was quietly expecting, with even the most bullish analyst projecting a number in the 360,000 range."

Although Tesla blamed the disappointing deliveries on what Market Watch describes as "the changeover to refreshed Model Y production lines" that "led to several weeks of lost production," it's also a reality that the company has been the target of a concerted boycott campaign led by progressive groups to protest Musk's role as the head of President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency.

Sales of Tesla in Europe have fallen off a cliff in recent months, as car buyers on that continent have revolted against Musk's support for far-right political parties such as Germany's Alternative für Deutschland.
