During President Donald Trump's first Cabinet meeting, Elon Musk, an adviser to the President and the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), addressed the attendees. It is important to note that Musk is not a Cabinet member and was not elected to office.
When Musk took the floor, he humorously referred to himself as 'tech support' and highlighted the efforts of DOGE in improving government computer systems. He also mentioned receiving death threats due to the work being carried out, which has resulted in job losses for many individuals.
Over the weekend, Musk sent out an email to federal employees, urging them to provide explanations of their work or face potential job termination. This directive led to a significant response, with one million federal workers responding to the email. The situation was further complicated by conflicting guidance from Musk, President Trump, and various government agencies.
