Trump to hold first cabinet meeting, Elon Musk to attend
The New Indian Express Vellore
|February 27, 2025

Musk is not part of the cabinet and did not have to go through Senate confirmation. Yet as the force behind his so-called Department of Government Efficiency, the Tesla and SpaceX chief has been given a free hand to enact unprecedented -- and brutally abrupt -- cuts to government programs and staffing.
His presence at the formal White House meeting alongside Trump's actual department heads follows signs of growing tension within the government over his dominance.
