At the first cabinet meeting of his second term, President Trump asked Elon Musk to speak first. The man tasked with slashing the federal government spoke far more than anyone else, other than Mr. Trump.
About 12 minutes into the first meeting of his new cabinet, President Trump addressed the elephant in the room. This was rather easy for him to do, since the elephant was standing 10 feet away, dressed all in black, hovering over the head of the table at which the president and the members of his cabinet sat.
“Is anybody unhappy with Elon?” Mr. Trump asked. Nervous laughter began to ripple around the room. “If you are,” Mr. Trump continued, “we’ll throw him out of here.” The cabinet started clapping.
It was meant as a joke — but just how funny did the various officials and aides crammed into the cabinet room really find the situation to be?
Days earlier, Elon Musk had gone over all their heads, ordering millions of federal workers to submit a written explanation of how they spend their days or else face termination.
