Musk Takes on a Key Role in Trump’s Administration
In a surprising political twist, U.S. President Donald Trump has unveiled billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk’s new role in his administration—leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
According to Trump, Musk and his DOGE team are tasked with ensuring that presidential executive orders are implemented without delay or bureaucratic resistance.
Musk to Oversee Execution of Trump’s Policies
During a joint interview with Fox News, Trump emphasized that executive orders often face hurdles in the implementation stage, and Musk’s job is to ensure they are executed effectively.
“You write an executive order and you think it’s done. You send it out, and it doesn’t get implemented. Some guy who didn’t want to do it is suddenly signing it,” Trump explained.
Musk echoed this sentiment, stating that one of the primary functions of DOGE is to ensure that executive orders are carried out as intended.
Praise and Controversy Surround the Appointment
During the interview, Trump and Musk expressed mutual admiration, dismissing concerns that the president might be overstepping his executive powers.
However, Trump’s wave of executive orders in recent weeks—many of which have been legally challenged as potentially unconstitutional—has raised eyebrows among political analysts and lawmakers.
Despite the controversy, Musk’s appointment signals a new era where tech industry leaders play a direct role in government operations.
