Daylight Saving Time 2025: Clocks Spring Forward Amid Ongoing Debate

On March 8, 2025, clocks across the United States sprung forward by one hour, marking the beginning of Daylight Saving Time (DST). This annual event, which sees the loss of an hour of sleep in the spring, has sparked a renewed debate over its continuation.

Elon Musk, the influential entrepreneur, recently reignited discussions on social media by suggesting that DST should be abolished. His comments come at a time when several states are considering legislation to end the practice. Mississippi residents were reminded to set their clocks forward and were offered various deals on food and beverages as a small consolation for the lost hour.

President Trump has also weighed in on the issue, expressing his reluctance to change the current system. Despite the controversy, DST remains in effect, with the next change set for November when clocks will fall back an hour.
