Job cuts: Musk, Rubio clash in cabinet meeting
March 09, 2025
|Hindustan Times Pune
US secretary of state Marco Rubio and billionaire White House adviser Elon Musk clashed on Thursday during a cabinet meeting, as President Donald Trump watched, over the level of staff cuts that Rubio has carried out, the New York Times (NYT) reported.
WASHINGTON:
The drama unfolded at a meeting where Trump told his cabinet heads that they, not Musk, have the final say on staffing and policy at their agencies, Reuters reported on Thursday.
The Times said Musk, assigned by Trump to eliminate large parts of the federal bureaucracy, accused Rubio of having fired "nobody" and resisting Musk's push for large staff reductions.
Rubio pushed back, saying 1,500 State Department employees had taken early retirement buyouts, the Times said. It said Rubio asked sarcastically whether Musk wanted him to rehire all those people just so he could make a show of firing them again.
