Trump picks sides in MAGA power struggle as Elon Musk drops his chainsaw and leaves federal cuts to Cabinet

Daily Mail  

Donald Trump attempted to settle a MAGA power struggle Thursday by telling Elon Musk to drop the chainsaw and leave the drastic cuts across federal departments to his Cabinet secretaries. Donald Trump appears to have settled a power struggle and told his Cabinet they have power to make cuts to government waste ahead of 'First Buddy' Elon Musk and DOGE It caps off a brutal past couple of weeks for Musk, despite being feted and applauded at Trump's address to Congress and at CPAC, where he promised to take 'a chainsaw to bureaucracy' Democrats on the House Oversight Committee are introducing a pair of resolutions demanding the Trump administration turn over documents about the billionaire adviser's potential conflicts of interest and the firings of federal workers Musk's Department of Government Efficiency was created by Trump to examine government agencies for wasteful spending and abuse of taxpayer funds. But DOGE is only meant to provide recommendations for Trump's Cabinet officials to carry out at their respective departments on their own accord Elon Musk arrives for US President Donald Trump's address to a joint session of Congress in the House Chamber Instead of taking a 'hatchet' approach to trimming the fat, Trump wants his secretaries to use a 'scalpel' for 'surgical' precision over who they dismiss. Thursday's meeting was a sharp departure in tone from Trump's first full cabinet meeting last week, when he allowed Musk to deliver a monologue about DOGE at the start of the meeting.
