When the president-elect triumphantly returned to Washington on Wednesday, tagging along aboard his plane was Musk, the world’s richest person, who appears to have spent most of the week since the election hobnobbing at Trump’s Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago. On Tuesday, Trump appointed Musk and another billionaire, former Republican presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy, to a new “Department of Government Efficiency” tasked with trimming down Washington bureaucracy.
Trump has gone so far as to suggest he would put aside some of his climate skepticism and back electric cars due to Musk. Senator Elizabeth Warren mocked the new initiative of Musk and Ramaswamy, writing on X that the effort for efficiency was “off to a great start with split leadership: two people to do the work of one person.”The turning point, according to a Wall Street Journal report, was when Biden invited automaker executives to the White House but snubbed Musk because Tesla, unlike the Detroit Big Three, is not unionized.
