Donald Trump and Elon Musk collaborate to reduce bureaucracy.

Elon Musk, the extravagant billionaire, has taken the helm of the newly created "Department of Government Efficiency" under the Trump administration. What does his rise in government signal? Known for his roles as CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Musk’s bold presence is no surprise to those who follow his unconventional career. Historian Luc Mary even joked that Musk was like a “co-president” of the U.S. His radical promises, including cutting the federal budget by up to $1 trillion, show his fearless approach to government reforms.
