Elon Musk and his ’humble tech support’ effort get star turn at Trump’s Cabinet meeting

The Hindu  

Elon Musk took a star turn at the first Cabinet meeting of President Donald Trump's new term, holding forth in a black “Make America Great Again” campaign hat on Wednesday about his role as “humble tech support” for the federal government — and laying out dire stakes if his cost-cutting efforts fail. “If we don’t do this, America will go bankrupt,” Mr. Musk told department heads assembled around a large wooden table in the Cabinet Room. Musk on federal workers Mr. Musk defended his weekend attempt to require government workers to justify their prior week’s work under penalty of termination — a move that drew pushback from many in the room on national security and privacy grounds — as merely a “pulse check” to ensure that those working for the government have “a pulse and two neurons," adding that “this is not a high bar” for workers to meet. Mr. Trump then turned things back to Mr. Musk, who said the president had “put together, I think, the best Cabinet ever.” “And I don’t give false praise,” he added.
