Elon Musk spoke at the first cabinet meeting of Donald Trump’s second term,
highlighting his role in cutting government spending through the Department
of Government Efficiency (DOGE). He stressed his efforts were vital to preventing
U.S. bankruptcy, despite facing backlash, including death threats. Musk, wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat,
offered “humble technical support” to Trump’s administration. While not a formal
cabinet member, Musk has become one of Trump’s most influential advisors.
Trump praised Musk’s team, and the meeting also addressed foreign policy,
including Ukraine and European tariffs. Musk remains central to Trump’s second term despite controversy.
