Summary

Elon Musk, a Republican megadonor and close Trump ally, is reportedly set to have office space in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building near the West Wing.

Musk is expected to head the “Department of Government Efficiency,” aiming to reduce federal spending under Trump.

Critics question Musk’s influence, noting his frequent presence at key Trump meetings and events.

This move, if confirmed, would grant Musk continued access to Trump post-inauguration, sparking debate about the billionaire’s role in the administration despite holding no official government position.

    Agree 100%

    The biggest reason we (the USA) are losing to fascists is because half of Americans are fascists, whether they realize it or not. And it’s been that way for a hundred years (and they were proto fascists, aka Confederates, before that)

      Traitors in the civil war should’ve been hanged and their lands confiscated and given to newly freed peoples.

      That we let a bunch of traitors just go home with their heads held high was a massive mistake.
