Billionaire Elon Musk and President Donald Trump presented a united front in the Oval Office on Tuesday — before Trump granted Musk even more power. Trump signed an executive order that requires federal agencies to report to the Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency Service as they cut down the federal workforce.

It’s not draconian or radical,” the billionaire said in a lengthy question-and-answer session alongside President Trump that sought to make the case for his Department of Government Efficiency.

President Donald Trump likely had ulterior motives when he invited Elon Musk to the Oval Office for a press briefing, says a former White House official.
