Elon Musk, known for his unconventional behavior, made headlines during a meeting with President Donald Trump’s cabinet. Despite not being an official cabinet member, Musk attended the meeting wearing two hats, symbolizing his involvement in multiple roles. During the broadcasted session, Musk joked about wearing many metaphorical hats, drawing laughter from attendees.\n\nMusk’s presence at the meeting highlighted his role in the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, where he has been criticized for unilaterally making decisions affecting U.S. government services. Although cabinet positions typically require Senate confirmation, Musk has acted as if he were a formal member, influencing policy without oversight. His actions have led to accusations of increasing long-term costs for the U.S. while dismantling essential services.\n\nPresident Trump praised Musk’s double-hat look, suggesting it was a bold move only Musk could pull off. Musk reciprocated by declaring Trump’s administration the greatest in U.S. history. The meeting also touched on economic concerns, with Trump acknowledging that his trade policies might lead to fewer consumer goods on American shelves. This admission contrasts with public expectations that Trump’s policies would lower prices.\n\nAdditionally, the meeting featured remarks from Marco Rubio regarding foreign policy and legal obligations, emphasizing the Trump administration’s stance on executive authority over judicial rulings.\n— new from Gizmodo
