President Vows to Oust Cabinet Dissenters Opposing Musk
In his first Cabinet meeting of the new term, President Donald Trump emphasized his unwavering support for Elon Musk, the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Trump warned Cabinet members that any lack of respect toward Musk would result in their dismissal. This declaration underscores the administration’s commitment to Musk’s aggressive cost-cutting measures aimed at reducing federal expenditure by $1 trillion.
Musk’s initiatives have included directives for federal employees to justify their recent work or face termination, leading to significant workforce reductions and union protests. Despite the controversy, President Trump praised Musk’s efforts, highlighting the critical nature of the findings by DOGE, which revealed widespread issues within the government.
During the meeting, Trump posed a direct question to his Cabinet: “Is anyone unhappy with Elon?” This query served to reinforce Musk’s authority and the expectation of full cooperation from all Cabinet members. The President’s stance indicates a zero-tolerance policy for dissent regarding Musk’s role and methods within the administration.
Musk, attending the meeting in a “Tech Support” T-shirt and a “Make America Great Again” cap, acknowledged the challenges and criticisms arising from his policies. He revealed receiving numerous death threats following the dismissal of thousands of federal employees but maintained that such measures are necessary to prevent national bankruptcy.
The President’s unequivocal backing of Musk signifies a steadfast commitment to overhauling federal operations, despite internal and public opposition.
