Trump limited Elon Musk’s authorities
Politico reported, citing two U.S. government officials, that President Donald Trump held a meeting with cabinet members on Thursday to personally tell them, ‘You are responsible for your departments, not Elon Musk.’
According to the report, Mr. Trump told his government ministers that Musk has the authority to advise the departments but does not make unilateral decisions regarding staff and policies.
The U.S. President made these remarks while Elon Musk was also present in the cabinet meeting.
This meeting followed widespread firings and threats of dismissal in the U.S. government structure by Elon Musk after his appointment as the head of the U.S. Government Efficiency Department. The firings have caused a sense of uncertainty and fear among federal employees.
