At his first Cabinet meeting, President Trump voiced strong support for Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk outlined a $1 trillion federal budget cut, stressing the need to eliminate waste.
Despite criticism over abrupt policy shifts, including a temporary halt to Ebola prevention programs, Musk defended his strategy. Trump backed Musk’s efforts, warning that federal employees unwilling to comply might face termination. The meeting signaled the administration’s focus on aggressive government restructuring.
