Elon Musk is set to attend President Trump’s first Cabinet meeting, showcasing his influence within the administration. Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, will discuss efforts to identify waste, fraud, and abuse in government agencies. The meeting follows a directive from Musk for federal employees to list their accomplishments, which some departments have deemed voluntary. Musk, considered a “special government employee,” is not paid for his work overseeing the Department of Government Efficiency. The White House has clarified that Musk does not have formal decision-making authority and is not an employee of DOGE, despite having a government email address and office space on the White House campus. This explanation came in response to a lawsuit challenging Musk’s role in the administration filed by Democratic state attorneys general. Attendees at the Cabinet meeting typically include Cabinet secretaries, the White House chief of staff, and the president and vice president. Musk’s presence at the meeting highlights his prominent role in shaping government efficiency and reducing federal spending.
