Trump signals full support for Musk in first Cabinet meeting
Musk and His 'Humble Tech Support' Effort Get Star Turn at Trump's Cabinet Meeting
Elon Musk took a star turn at the first Cabinet meeting of President Donald Trump's new term, holding forth in a black “Make America Great Again” campaign hat on Wednesday about his role as “humble tech support” for the federal government — and laying out dire stakes if his cost-cutting efforts fail.
Many of Trump’s high-profile cabinet appointments give the lie to that claim, from science-averse conspiracy theorist RFK Jr. at the Department of Health and Human Services to dipsomaniacal accused sexual assaulter Pete Hegseth at the Pentagon to humor-impaired bully-boss Elon Musk everywhere you turn.
Federal workers received a second round of emails Friday asking them to report their work accomplishments even after a slew of federal agencies pushed back against the White House’s first round of mass emails,
Hegseth asked civilian DoD employees to reply to a weekend email – the second of its kind – from the Office of Personnel Management.
The scene was familiar to anyone who has watched past presidential Cabinet meetings. Trump sat at the center of the table, flanked by Secretary of State Marco Rubio on his right and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on his left.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth previously said he would welcome the Department of Government Efficiency and Elon Musk to the Pentagon.
The Pentagon is in the cost-cutting crosshairs of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency as Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth orders officials to find $50 billion in cuts to the defense budget.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told civilian employees to comply with a request to provide five bullet points of accomplishments.
The Defense Department initially told employees to "pause any response" to OPM's request for a list of their work accomplishments.
The Department of Defense is among several U.S. federal agencies pushing back against the email, which was sent out Saturday.
