President Donald Trump is the first meeting of his second term on Wednesday.
He finds himself Elon Musk, who says that the White House says “supervises” the Ministry of Effectiveness of the Government and whose high status inside the Administration caused disputes of confusion and justice.
“All members of the cabinet are extremely satisfied with Elon. The media will see this in the meeting of the cabinet this morning !!!” Trump wrote on his social media platform on Wednesday morning.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that Musk would be present during the Tuesday briefing.
“Given that he works alongside the president and our secretaries of the cabinet, all this administration will be present tomorrow just to talk about the efforts of Doge and how all the secretaries of the cabinet identify waste, fraud and abuses In their respective agencies, “Leavitt told journalists.
The meeting will take place in the middle of Doge’s efforts to implement federal mass graduation cuts. Mixed signals came from Musk and the administration after an ultimatum led by Musk to federal workers to essentially prove their value by e-mail or dismissal.

Leavitt said Trump on Tuesday that Trump reaches the office of the cabinet to adopt the staff and management advice office, but said the administration was unified about the issue.
“Let me be very clear, the president and Elon, and all his cabinet, work as a unified team and they implement these very common solutions,” said Leavitt.
When Musk posted on X last weekend that all federal employees would soon receive an email requiring details of their work last week, senior White House officials were initially caught up in the deprived, several Sources at ABC News.
This has also created tensions among Trump’s cabinet, because several agency leaders have told their employees not to respond until they themselves be informed of the situation.
The Senate confirmed Trump’s candidates at a quick pace, approving 18 people to date. In comparison, at this stage of 2021, the Senate led by the Democrats had confirmed only 10 of the candidates in the cabinet of former president Joe Biden.
The rapid pace occurs despite some Trump choices considered as controversial choices to direct their respective agencies.
Defense secretary Pete Hegseth, a veteran and host of Fox News, overcome several allegations of misconduct to confirm after the vice-president JD Vance voted the destroyed vote. The Secretary of Health, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., under criticism of his previous anti-vaccine opinions, was narrowly confirmed during a vote of 52-48, just like the director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
When Trump was publicly held publicly with his office in 2017, during his first presidency, the members praised him.
One by one, the members thanked Trump and complimented his leadership for several minutes in front of the journalists before the meeting moved to closed doors. “Thank you, Mr. President. It is the greatest privilege of my life,” said the president of the time, Mike Pence, launching things.

Trump said on Tuesday that his first administration had “great people” but that he believed that this bench is “deeper”. Trump said the biggest mistake in his first mandate was to install “unfair people”.
“I think it’s better,” he said about this cabinet. “I had people I didn’t really like in my office. But I didn’t know Washington so I was a New York person.”
