Musk to attend Trump's first cabinet meeting

Elon Musk will attend the first cabinet meeting of Donald Trump’s new administration. The leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will be present at the White House for the president's first meeting with federal agency secretaries, despite the fact that he is not one of them.

The news was confirmed by Karoline Leavitt, White House press secretary, during Tuesday's press conference.

With a terse "he is, as a matter of fact," Leavitt responded to the question posed by the press on whether Musk will attend the first meeting of the Trump Administration, where the first amount of progress that has achieved will be discussed.

In addition, the White House Press Secretary said that the tycoon will sit at the table because "he is working, hand in hand, with Trump and with the rest of the secretaries."

During the election campaign, Musk attended numerous Trump rallies and became one of his great allies. That partnership eventually turned into a friendship that the now president valued and ended up placing his trust in the tycoon and Vivek Ramaswamy for commanding a project - the DOGE - whose objective is and remains that of eliminating all superfluous spending from the federal coffers and making available resources more efficient.

At a certain point, Ramaswamy - with other political aspirations - removed his name from the equation and Musk was left as the sole leader of the DOGE.

Since Trump took office and the tycoon took the reins of this unofficial department, the DOGE has already executed numerous measures to make the federal administration and the country as a whole more efficient.
